@raznomore Surprises me that more players don't want to sign with GC. All the instagram girls move there to "grow their brand".

work out. Get fake tits. "influence" on instagram.

Sounds like a fucking top place to be a pro footballer.

Although it probably also explains why everyone who goes there plays shit.

[raznomore]

Being a kiwi in the industry I am in there is a good chance you will meet a fair few insta-hos and I have.

The ones from the GC. I Love and loath the GC for the same reason.

[No Quarter]

Crazy crowd, should be an interesting game.... Aus will want to start strong!

[Higgins]

WOW! The whole crowd just burst into a song just prior to kick off, simply sensational to hear.

[Crazy Horse]

Hopefully Tonga don't use up their energy too soon.

[No Quarter]

They can't afford to gift tries like that, could be a long night for the Tongans.

[Crazy Horse]

Lolohea is looking fat

[Steven Harris]

@crazy-horse the whole Tongan team is looking gased already

[No Quarter]

Yep, going to be a long night. At least they got one try.

[Gunner]

Too many errors from Tonga, you just can’t gift Aussie opportunities like that.

24-6 now, this might get ugly.

In terms of the final score or a good old fashioned all in "discussion" between players?

[Gunner]

@higgins the score. Although I wouldn’t mind seeing the Tongans dish out some biff on DCE

So Aussie get to take two conversions, the second from in front, because of a bit of accidental contact with the try scorers head, yet they never penalise a head high tackle, what the actual fuck?

The tactic of leading with your feet to stop a try being scored is grubby as fuck, I'm pretty comfortable with them stamping that shit out. But as you say, absolutely no consistency in League given the shit they let go.

It would have been fair enough if the guy was doing that, but it was just basically bad timing, ran into the guy and tripped over him. Completely accidental.

[Nepia]

Bad timing for the penalty but I think the Tongans have been getting the rub of the green for their 50/50s.

[Gunner]

Tonga on about their 32nd back to back set. They need to find a way over the line, somehow.

[Gunner]

Hungus scores.

30-16

"Dance monkey, dance" seems to be spreading around social media.
Will be interesting to see what happens with that.

What is this for those of us who watched the game with no commentary (and more of an eye on Otago and the ref robbing the Magpies ).

[mimic]

The DJ at the game claims that an official in the production room said "dance monkey dance" when they put up the dance cam of the crowd.

There were other comments of casual racism in the production room, but it was "dance monkey dance" that set him off.
