That almost deserved to be a try

By:
Aus look a lay now. Surely NZ will go at it for next 15.
|
|
By:
Well, we've seen some bloody iffy decisions in this comp, but that may just have been the right decision, even though it could well have touched the turf.
Deserved a try, but then again Luke's tackle was just as good. |

thought hed got it down myself

oh, is SBW playing?????

Another lazy defender blocking any chance of a chaser getting to the catcher. Makes you wonder if a better tactic for NZ isn't to just hammer into the back of whoever is blocking and see if you can put them out of the game.

ooooooohhhhhhhh

By:
Amazing defence
|
|
By:
Fine enough game this. You don't need a bucket of tries for good RL.
|
|
By:
no doubt about this one
|
|
By:
Try and game over I would think.
|
|
By:
Good thing he scuffed that because I think Locke was favourite to get it otherwise.
|
|
By:
1.07? NZ have looked abject but I can't be having that price.
|
|
By:
They thought the same in 2008 but I just don't think NZ have the class to get back into this. Not even close on today's showing so far.

By:
timid stuff from new Zealand,there is no point leaving it in the dressing room and sonny bill appears more like f****g granddad bill at the moment
|
|
By:
Aus going for goal? Hmm...
Draw price seems even more tempting now! |
|
By:
Rubbish from Vauvei - never a way through on the near side there
|
|
By:
That's woeful.
|
|
By:
Have NZ seriously had a decent fat lad carry up the middle all half? They are nowhere in the forwards and not much closer in the backs. Only pens have given them field position so far.
|
|
By:
No. Abject performance.
|
|
By:
Oh my. This is incredibly awful.
|
|
By:
Yes, game over, job done, everybody go home.
|
|
By:
I think even France or Samoa would have been a tougher opponent.
|
|
By:
Crazy to play a game of such magnitude at Old Trafford. Too small a ground.
|
|
By:
love the Bubba Watson kicking technique :)

By:
Men against boys , NZ not turned up.
As a spectacle England with home nation pride & the crowd behind them would have been much better .....Mind was 1/3 in a two horse race ever easier to collect on. |
|
By:
Bloody hell that was dodgy. It's one thing having tiny in-goal areas, but not putting any padding at the bottom of that slope?
Honestly, rugby league officials seem determined to give themselves legal headaches. |
|
By:
Well done Aus backers, it was the walkover a few called. Shocking that NZ could be so bad in the final and that RL still generally only has one decent international side.
|
|
By:
Definitely was a shame that England didn't get through to the final in the end. No doubt at all it would have ended up in the same team winning, but the fury of the England forwards would have at least challenged Australia. NZ just couldn't get anything going at all.
|
|
By:
Australia just a level above all others. That display today was breath taking at times.
