I notice they didnt mention the forward pass thrown in the try scored five minutes earlier

Bloody whingers

Even the Aussie winger says he isn't sure about the pass. Going by Sheens and Smith ruling out England's try due to Hall's lack of certainty then they can't complain if their guy can't be certain the pass was ok.

Love it.

The Ockers beat England in part due to a controversial decision by a cheating Aussie. They lose the final in part due to a controversial decision by an Englishman (albeit alerted to it by an Aussie linesman).

In true bitter Ocker style, they ignore the 1 or 2 clear forward passes for their earlier try, or the incorrect 20m tap as ThePrinter and Him have said.

And they call us whingeing Poms?? No-one does 'bad loser' as well as an Aussie. Never pretty.

Rarely does karma bite so sweetly. Congrats New Zealand.

Ironically, I don't see any English or Kiwi officials moaning about the Aussies persistent head-high tackles, interfering at the ptb or perhaps most egregiously, their deliberate and persistent late attacks on the kicker; it gave me great pleasure to watch Shaun Johnson bounce back each time and rip them to bits - especially that individual effort, in which he destroyed both Cherry-Evans and Inglis.

Great game - the best team won and it's particularly satisfying when natural justice has prevailed.

Because he's the internet equivalent of toe jam.

1 person could've turned up to each game and it would still have been the best tournament yet for that 1 lucky person and for us watching on TV.
Quit your obsession with crowd figures / tv viewing figures, put your calculator away and try actually watching the f****** games for once you absolute f****** gomper.

Night night.

Bless. Come SOO you'll have a hard on for attendances and tv..

In the UK we not obsessed with TV ratings unlike you and the likes of Dally Messenger. Compared to the AFL the attendances for the NRL are pretty pathetic. Compared to soccer here the attendances in the NRL are equally pathetic. I doubt anyone here will be stroking themselves over 50k at Lang Park - only you!!

Yeah!
They all had a great BBQ, shook hands on a few deals with contacts made in the hospitality tent, a few of them bought a new Range Rover and some reunited with buddies from their Boarding School days.

One or two watched the very poor Rugby Union games that were also taking place.

Rugby Union is a well run business but a Crap sport!

Back to the Rugby League . .

Did they shout homophobic & racist abuse at the referee again as well?

Probably!

Fortunately there was no Traditional Haka for them to disrespect!

Yessir, just like I did last year and every year prior.

Love it !
