Was exactly the same as the pass from McGuire to smith, so swings and roundabouts n all that.
Personally thought that we only need to improve on two areas. The first is to just bloody calm down when we have the ball, the amount of times passes were forced was unreal. The second is to show some hunger in defence as we just seemed so slack at times.
Thought that the subs added nothing to the side, I think Smith needs to look at that for the next game.

McGuire changed the game when he came on.

Dont agree tbh, didnt really notice him personally. The only thing that changed for me was PNG's fitness went down.
Btw agree with you about the hooker. Gene did good but having looked on all the boards I think Gene is getting too much credit and Aiken (sp) isn't getting much

Who is the Doofus commentating on the Scotland v France game with Tony Rea? He keeps calling Steve McCormack - Steve Mcnamara.

Stevo does talk some SH!te, why does Matai deserve a red card for that it was just a bit of over enthusiasm

Setanta? Watching on Sky Sport 2 here

I think the refs should hold press conference post match call it whatever, to explain some of their dissisions,......... but what do you expect from the ego that is "Ganson".

I agree, Ganson & Klein are a joke. The Aussie officials have been far more consistent even after watching just 3 games.

Why cant we have the Aussie commentators too, listening to Eddie & Steveo and Co spouting a load of old dribble is sending me to sleep.

I thought the Kiwi's were rubbish and have a good chance of finishing bottom of the group if they throw in another performance like that. They should have been beaten by another 20 points today.

looking how the world cup compertition can use english rugby league REFS in the australian rugby league in high profile games "why" can't we use australian refs in english rugby league high profile games ?

would help quell the "bias" speculations would it not?

do not think the Kiwis will relish playing PNG especially if they play like they did today. Aus didn;t look spectacular will have a better idea after we play them.

Highlights on BBC2 15.30 for those of you haven't seen any games.

Australia we're awesome, any side would have looked rubbish against them. Still think nz look better than england.
