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

Losing Tonga didn't knock us out of the WC

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...

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

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.

That’ll be one of Adam Blair’s positives “we lived up to expectations”.

Doesn't seem that long ago , ( what was it 3 years ago? ) when we were looking at probably the best kiwi team of all time ,

Fuck , that unraveled quickly
