Agreed.
Kiwis dodged a bullet there.
Wasn't a forward pass but did Matautia ground the ball for what may well have been a try?
The bizarre and incompetent TV coverage was inconclusive. |

Better make sure those ticket prices are a fiver or a tenner then.
RLWC legacy! |

Shaun Johnson must be awarded the Golden Boot. This was a brilliant display by Laos's finest contribution to the game of rugby league.

Clearly Greg Inglis just isn't good enough at this level. If he makes the tackle Australia win. |

I've replayed it a dozen times and the pass from Walker to Mataútia hit the ground and just went forward before Mataútia half volleyed it.

| When Bentham was getting his medal, he looked like he was being told his match fee was withheld because the Aussies didn't win. He didn't look happy walking down those steps.  |

A great game. But, given the strength of this NZ team I thought it showed just how good Australia are / will be in future. So many young kids, including at prop. (great game there). Nearly did it despite getting battered. If they'd had even a bit more possession in the NZ half Australia would have won - they looked like scoring every time, which was pretty impressive.
Overall great tournament.

I've also freeze framed the one brief look they gave of the put down and the ball was put down in the corner cleanly, but his whole body was over the sideline and it was impossible to tell if he was touching the ground from the shot, but it would be a miracle if he wasn't. |

Shaun Johnson is already a greater player than Benji Marshall ever was. I thought that Johnson, despite his illegal punishment by late tacklers, completely outplayed Kellie Cherry and Troy Evans son, and also the distinguished Cooper Cronk.

Why are you bothering? I thought the golden rule for you aussies is that refs don't influence games, so even if it was a dead set try and you were robbed, it doesn't matter. |

If it had been England instead, there would be a 50 page Moonie thread already claiming how they'd been robbed and cheated out of a win by bent and shoddy camera work.
Roy Haggerty would have probably kick-started the mega-whinge thread. |

I agree.
It was never going to be easy even against a second string Aussie side.
Great game though. |
