NRL 2017

heaps of passion in the hakas

[Nepia]

Good Haka boogie off - a few of the Kiwis clapped at the end. NAS looked angry when the Tongans advanced.

[Nepia]

2-0 Tonga as they surprisingly took a shot at goal for a a penalty 5 metres out.

[canefan]

Is the ref not gonna call drop balls today? Looks like a lot of red and white in the crowd

[canefan]

We looked good on attack there, went close

[Nepia]

I’m now wondering who would win in a punch up between Taumalolo and Taupau after their stand up arm holding tackle.

[canefan]

Hurrell gets a taste of kiwi 😄

[canefan]

Beautiful try by our boys. Johnson hits a stinger for the extra 2

[mimic]

needs more australian commentary i reckon.. where is the origin type build up?

[Higgins]

Did I really see a big right hook haymaker from the red number 17 there?

[mimic]

wow.. NAS stopped Murdoch in his tracks..

[Higgins]

This is building to a massive all in brawl coming up soon.

[Nepia]

Best thing Tupou ever does on a league field and it's called back for a forward pass.

[Higgins]

How the hell was that try not awarded?

I think the opposite, this game has all the hype on its own. It doesn't need the fake origin build up bullshit.

Monty seems to have switched back to being a Kiwis fan this week.

[canefan]

If the try is given the Tongan are going to start going for head shots. He's not held it should be a try

[Nepia]

The hyphens have been going well JWH, RTS and DWZ - and NAS has been angry.

Try to RTS.

I think I'm just not used to the Kiwis commentators..

Fair enough.

Tonga a bit hard done by with the last two non try then try but the Kiwis definitely looking the better team. The worry for Tonga now is a blow out in the second half.

Tapine is a bit of an unsung hero, working hard again this week and calmed down one of the flare ups by smiling at the Tongans running in. Mannering is getting through a lot of work too as per usual.

Just to think some of these guys wouldn't have got a look in if the Kiwis had Proctor, Bromwich, and Taumalolo etc..
