Old Mitchy Pearce decides to sign a $4 million deal with the Knights. Newcastle needed to meet the salary cap limit so threw a ton of cash at Pearce to get there. Not a bad player for them to pick up and looking at their 2018 roster I don't think Newcastle will win the wooden spoon.

Bloody Tongans, you'd never get this from Samoans.....
just trolling...Pack mentality mixed with a little bit of not understanding how things work and you end up with this shit. Not an indictment on Tongan people, there's ignorance everywhere.
What made me laugh was the hopelessness of it. The referee is Australian, neither team is from where the game was played and the governing body is based in London....protesting in NZ achieves what? Ms Adhern isn't going to call WRL and request a review, it wasn't the Kiwi's that played. Other than having multiple NZers play for Tonga and having the game here, NZ plays no part in any of this. Its hilarious to me.
Yeah its a combination of funny and stupid ,
the worst part is ,with all the over reaction, the decision wasnt that bad .

This is fucken ridiculous

@virgil I think they should open an inquiry in to the state of Fifita's mental state. He has an ongoing battle of mental illness and he may not have been the right person to make that last carry in a pressure situation....
he's also a fat grub, so fuck that guy.

at least they dropped legal action

I might be wrong but I feel you commented without knowing the context of my comment but I like the intensity. If this was american sport you'd get a pat on the arse.

@raznomore i don't need much of an excuse to have a crack at that grub to be honest.
But yea, your point was good too...
-
@mariner4life now i feel like the guy that came last and still got an award...
Fafita ruined my MMT love affair to be honest. Everytime I watched Tonga I'd be happy they were doing so well and then he'd come into the play. It was a serious conflict for me. Hating Kidwell and Blair took up alot of my hate quota but I still had enough to actually be happy it was him who had the "loose carry".
-
@raznomore when Tonga played up here he copped a monumental amount of abuse from the Aussies in the crowd. Then promptly went on the field and played like shit. Dropped the ball, and gave away 4 straight penalties

Fucking up 2 big moments/plays, couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy

Totally beyond the pale. I hope the Barristers are taken to task for this irresponsible and unreasonable attack on a referee who cannot really defend himself.
They were the feel good story of the RLWC, but (some of) their fans are fuckwits.

Fifita didn't help, but the fans ruined it for me, well, the ones that carried on like dickheads anyway. A couple of my Tongan mates were actually pretty embarrassed by it all.
But yeah, hating Kidwell took up most of my mate. It almost reached Hammettuer levels (apologies @Chris-B if you alert went off), but it was the car crash I could see happening months out which kind of took the edge off I guess.

On the plus side, if Kidwell really has done a Hammett, then pretty much any of us should be able to coach them to a four nations victory next year.
Unfortunately, I fear the systems Kidwell has put in place - "the We is the Key" - might not quite be what's required.
(Well, you did purposely trigger my alarm!)

I always thought Kidwell was a bit over rated as a player as well ,
An average centre at the roosters , an ok second rower at the storm where he played his role ok , surrounded by great players ,
Then his big moment in the kiwi jersey was that tackle on Mason , but the reality was , it was an accidental head clash that dropped Mason , top of Kidwells head accidentally hit Masons on the cheekbone , his technique running into the tackle was actually horrible , thought he got way too much credit for something flukey .
