Danny 2,201 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Just bought tickets to the fourth quarter final at the World Cup. It's A2 vs C1 so potentially England vs PNG which would be class, but if not then it'll either be Australia or Lebanon and I really hope it's not Lebanon for 50 bucks a ticket even if half the NRL are playing for whoever their granddad was from, Lebanon included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 2,201 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 NRL Grand Final today, Storm vs Cowboys. I'm going to go with a Storm win but as I spent 9 months living in what is Cowboys territory I hope they win today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Storm have been sensational. They're a superhuman team with three of the best players of all time in their ranks in Billy Slater, Cooper Cronk and Cameron Smith. Cowboys have been phenomenal to get to the Final but this is one game too far. They looked shot out there today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's where I got confused though your Australianness goes against you, League is class and so much more entertaining than Union. For all the "tactics" involved it's still generally lacking in skill compared to what you see in League every game. I'll buy you a West Coast Pirates shirt when you get a team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 That Australia World Cup jersey is superb. Also, a consortium have applied for a place in the third tier of UK RL with a side to be based in New York. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 2,201 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) A quality game to watch for one so low scoring but ultimately if you can't create chances to score then you won't. We done well to turn the tide in the first half though Australia were never going to keep that level of relentlessness up that they had in the first 15 minutes. The score line is obviously flattering to them but the performance gives something to build on. Didn't want us to lose but now it means we're most likely to finish 2nd which means I'll get to watch us in the QF.

Burning Gold 599 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) I love a good bit of Rugby League, but I honestly think their world cup could be the worst of any sport. Every single time, you know with 99% certainty who the finalists will be, and you just have to watch the three or four decent sides embarrass everyone else or half-arse it for three weeks until they meet each other in the late rounds. There's the occasional high quality fixture early on like today's, but even then there was nothing riding on it because we all know both teams will qualify for the knock-out rounds. This, by the way, is what the Champions League would be like if the 'league champions only' crowd got their way.

The same can be said for Union with England, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia, even if there are more competitive international nations.

Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Northern Hemisphere sides are getting a battering down so far and I can't really see it changing. England should beat Lebanon but then they'll get PNG, though that's no walk in the park, even in Melbourne. The rest of the northern hemisphere countries won't win a game against Southern Hemisphere sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Storts+ 2,424 Posted October 29, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted October 29, 2017 Echo what Burning Gold said, worst world cup possible from a truly shite sport. Stuck the England game on briefly on Friday, 5 minutes was enough, so boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
