To give credit to Shaun Johnson, finally someone in the Kiwi’s squad this tournament looks like they realise just how bad that was...

[Bovidae]

I only saw the last 15 mins and that was enough.

Agree with @Sneakdefreak, SJ isn't even good enough to be Robin.

Did I hear correctly that some Aussie coach/player predicted Fiji would beat the Kiwis?

[booboo]

Kind of want to laugh coz it's league.

But fuck.

The darkest day in NZ rugby league since we lost to Tonga....

Losing Tonga didn't knock us out of the WC

[Bovidae]

I blame Deans KIdwell (both from Canterbury).

Tonga was probables vs possibles. Fiji was like losing to a pub team

[westcoastie]

just caught the result on various news sites... wowwee.
How bad is this result for the game?

[NTA]

Great game of soccer I hear.

I'm tipping that super power of rugby league tonga , to make the final but get thrashed

League in NZ was going to go to the next level with the arrival of the Warriors in the ARL in 1995... Who’d have thought the Warriors and David Kidwell would do so much for rugby union in New Zealand...

Looks like it did go to the next level, just down, not up...

[mariner4life]

I'm not disappointed or angry. Fuck these fluffybunnies. The Warriors crushed any league expectations for NZ teams for me.

Did anyone except the bloke who hired him ever think Kidwell was a good appointments?

Over paid over hyped shitcunts who no one should ever have faith in.

[Canerbry]

Exactly how much do they get paid for that shitshow?

Fiji were demonstrably better, I'm sure the stats will back me up, and if there is any credit at all due to this Kiwis side it's that a 4-2 loss flattered them.

Welcome back.

If Kidwell was my coach I would do heaps of coke too

[Nepia]

So much for Kidwell wanting to restore the pride and culture in the Kiwis jersey. He basically killed any pride and turned the culture into a losing one.

His only contribution was the great poetic saying: "The Key is the We". The moment he said that I knew We were fucked.

If I was Kidwell I would kick their sorry arses all the way round NZ and back again - only a solitary penalty scored against - Fiji? That's just pitiful. They don't deserve to wear the Kiwi jersey.

They wish - that would imply the Kiwi’s were coached or had any work ethic.
