The Kiwis are in massive trouble with no Foran and Taumalolo. Can't see them making the GF now.

LMAO.

Lets have a look at the Kiwis:

No Foran - Injured
No Tohu Harris - injured
No Bromwhich or Proctor - banned
No Taumololo - chucked a sad one
No Isaac Luke - not selected due to poor form

Wow, what a joke. Honestly how can Australia celebrate when they lift the trophy at the end? Its like Usain Bolt racing against the highschool top 11.

England suck, the other teams have a smattering of NRL players but the spines always suck on those teams so they end up getting destroyed.

Game of the tournament will be Samoa vs Tonga EASY. Reminds me of NSWRL games in the 80's - the guys just throw everything they have at it, passion and fireworks.

Last year those two teams played and honestly it was the best rugby league game all year easily.

Yeah i agree. Its kinda like the allblacks though. They recently beat south africa by 70 points. That really doesnt show much competition there either. Lol

It's funny players don't do that with Australia because the chance of being blacklisted from origin is high and would cost the player wayyy too much money

Probably because Kidwell's questionable ability as a coach?

Remember how long Taumalolo warmed the bench in his last game?
He legit forgot he had him on the bench. Guy is a fraud and will be shown the door that quickly after the World Cup.

Was thinking the same thing. Would love to know how young he was when he first played in Qld as we'd have our answer.

Kidwell is record is 1 - 5 as a coach, he is an absolute joke.

NZRL is a boys club, they only want kiwi coaches. Kidwell was an average player and can barely string a sentence together yet NZRL thinks he is a good coach - much like Kearney who is easily the worst first grade coach in the NRL at the moment.

I really hope more players defect.
