With David Kidwell being fired in the coming hour/days/weeks, I wonder who the NZRL could convince to come in and try and rebuild this mess?

Ivan Cleary? Well respected during his time in the Warriors.
Geoff Toovey? Should probably be NSW coach but he would be a taskmaster.
John Ackland? Already works for Auckland Rugby League and knows the talent pool. Well respected too.
The Silverfern? A pack of absolute muppets who have the worst opinions in human history but why the fuck not? Can't be any worse than Kidwell.

Bring back Gary Kemble

Shut up.

He can't be worse can he? I know, lets ask Kidwell.

@nepia The Key is in the Wee.

One thing I find really unfair is a situation like we just saw.

Fiji knock on, kiwis dive on it, tackle is called and we’ve make no ground whatsoever, so no advantage, yet that tackle is classed as tackle one.
They’d be better to knock it on themselves, take the scrum from the same spot and start from tackle zero....

I'm pretty sure it's zero tackle after a knock on.

[Sneakdefreak]

@mimic it is in the NRL.

[Gunner]

Wow I assume Chris Wood has been brought on and scored a couple of quick goals whilst I was tending to a vomiting child...

C’mon All Whites.

[gt12]

Diabolical passing, catching, and handling skills from both sides. It’s fucking laughable.

[Nepia]

Best line of coke Bromwich ever bought - I assume that's what Jesse is thinking right now.

[No Quarter]

Fiji should go for the droppie to take the 3-2 win.

[Higgins]

Hard to believe these are professional players given the shambles we are witnessing. Embarrassing would not even get close to describing matters. Just as well Fiji have been dragged down to the Kiwis level otherwise it might make someone do something they will regret later.

An RLWC cup that has deviated from the expected in more ways than one...

@no-quarter

That would be a cool result.

I’d probably prefer 3-2 to us, but.

[Gunner]

@sneakdefreak I reckon us lot would do alright.

‘Alright you fuckers, listen up.
You’ve got the honour of playing for your country, so harden the fuck up, work your arses off, work on the basics over and over and over until you perfect them, play with some passion and don’t be fucking knob jockeys off the field.’

That’s a good starting point I reckon, you can chip in with some tactics...

[KiwiMurph]

RTS is the opposite of cool calm and collected at fullback - emotional as all hell and all over the place with his standards.

[No Quarter]

Fuck, big 4 - 2 lead now. Basically unassailable at this point.

[Sneakdefreak]

@no-quarter unless this is ice hockey and the Kiwis can pull their goalie for the extra attacker.

No but in all seriousness, this is like watching your favourite pub burn down slowly.

[Higgins]

Both sides have been so crap that it is impossible to believe that someone might manage to fluke a try so it will come down to goal kicks.

[mimic]

why isnt SJ putting up bombs? Can't he see that the Fijians don't want to catch the high ball?

[Donsteppa]

If the Fijians attacked and kicked from any deeper they could call up Grant Fox.

[Gunner]

It’s almost preferable that we lose this and avoid having to play Aussie in a semi final.
We’d be crying for mercy before the first interchanges are made at around the 20 minute mark.

[Donsteppa]

I was starting to post “a second set of six! Whatever will they think of next?”

But nooooo......
