Love the Kiwis haka, they all looked like they literally wanted to kill someone by the end of it.
Samoa’s was pretty good too.
Yeah, it was a good haka-boogie off!
@sneakdefreak said in NRL 2017:
@gunner Looks like it. Kiwis have a back up in Dean Whare and Warriors will have a back up in Blake Ayshford.
I'm pretty sure that Beale was the back up to Whare and you know the Warriors will go with Kata instead of Ayshford.
Turned into an easy win in the end, but the fat Samoan forwards were always going to tire.
The Kiwis error rate was nuts. For 20 minutes Johnson looked like he was doing a Ben Blair, but thankfully he turned it around.

Watched sky highlights this morning.
Great crowd (noise) in Port Moresby. Although not 100% full, which is surprising to me as it is their national sport.It's been a long, long time time I've seen any televised league test out of PNG. I remember a few in the 80s & early 90s, when it was crowd hanging from trees and roofs cliche, and (nz) players reporting in the size of the rocks in the playing field.
Flash stadium now, there was a Fifa U20 (or U17?) women's World Cup there a year or 2 ago, I think they built stadiums for (which played to empty crowds).
The PNG govt pledged to fund Tonga's stadium redevelopment until the ass fell out of whatever mineral price they are reliant on and they reneged (hence Tonga playing Wales at Eden Park earlier this year)

@rapido You're right it is a pretty flash stadium. 25,000 seater and even has coloured in seats.
PNG will be good this tournament. Playing in Port Moresby and they also have a squad full of Queensland Cup players, the NRL's second-tier competition (the PNG Hunters won the QC final this season too).
