RLWC 2026

I agree with this for fairness reasons, but there isn't a whole heap of players who've declared themselves eligible for Australia because of the money, is there? Most players who want to represent their heritage are doing that already. It's not really going to make a difference to anything we see on-field.

 

[bremsstrahlung]

is that Safs signalling to come off after 13 minutes?

Edit: Maybe just signalling to get somebody to rub his calf. Either way… not ideal for him.

Edit edit: now he’s off. Likely calf again I imagine.

 

[Die Hard]

Off now, hopefully not anything serious

He looked to be moving ok but yeah I'd say a calf.

 

[bremsstrahlung]

Safs back. All good in the hood. Phew.

 

[Timmy]

Damn JSaf has been powerful so far. Our best prop and it aint close.

 

[bremsstrahlung]

Mitchell Prest the 10 for Fiji has been a good watch so far. Plays Q Cup.

 

[KPGreatness]

Walters is one of the worst coaches of all time and shouldn’t touch any international job ever again, he is so unbelievably useless it’s crazy not even top 20 coaches on the planet.

Players that have no reason to be there

Tom T (Hasn’t played good in like 3 years)

Kotoni Staggs (not even top 6 centre and is useless)

Patrick.C (Had a horrible year but he is a Queenslander so instant pick for the worst coach in Australia’s history)

Reuben Cotter (Literally did nothing the entire year but is a Queenslander)

Tom Dearden (Did nothing all year and has fought injuries all year but is a Queenslander)

Feel free to add anymore I’m missing.

This isn’t even a B rate team and should show that the coach and selectors need to be fired as they don’t know football at all.

I just want to add even more how much I hate Walters he is such a **** coach and is so far out of his depth, he is easily one of the worst coaches we have ever had and don’t forget this is the same crap coach that picked Shibasaki over Best and the same selectors which proves my earlier point that none of them actually know football at all.

No matter if we win, I can’t wait for Walters to **** off

 

[jamesgould]

Fiji showing why I reckon they're the most under-rated side in world Rugby League. If they ever get given the same playing opportunities as Tonga and Samoa they'll be just as competitive.

 

[Mclovin]

JSaf was very strong in the first half, really excited to see him back in the red and blue

 

[jamesgould]

Twice Turbo has gone looking for an intercept and come up with nothing in Fiji tries tonight.

 

[Newygirl]

Donoghue is a such a good little player, how did he never get a run when we had no halves

 

[KPGreatness]

If Tom goes for the ****ing intercept one more time I’m going to ****ing lose it, red line through his name… never again

 

[RedBlue]

No surprise first time I’m tuning in that Fiji is up 16-12

Carn the Fijians!

Yes I’m patriotic, I have the same issue as half the others, no interest. Walters and his buddies don’t help. Cotter carrigan staggs etc yawn

 

[Wagyu Patty]

Jeeeez turbo cannot defend on the wing..

 

[KPGreatness]

Jeeeez turbo cannot defend on the wing..

Ball watches and never once turns his head to see where his winger is, he always gives the outside shoulder. That’s what you get when you play a out of form fullback at wing

 

[Timmy]

JSaf with ice on the right calf on the bench.

 

[Celticman98]

Any thoughts on this potential solution? Have this either run every 2 or 3 years.

Six Nations
Australia, New Zealand, England, Samoa, Tonga and Fiji

Development comp
PNG, Lebanon, Cook Islands, France, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and ideally one more team to begin with. Whether it's Greece or Italy?

I want to see a another Rugby League World Cup and have so many one sided results bar the game on now but something has to change for it to be sustainable long term.

 

[Owey]

Jeeeez turbo cannot defend on the wing..

That right edge is going to cause massive problems for us later in the tournament.

 

[Mclovin]

Jeeeez turbo cannot defend on the wing..

Sam Walker has a lot to do with the bad defence on that side too, he leaves a massive hole on his right which Staggs has to fill and the Turbo comes becomes more isolated. Sam Walker is a fault for a lot of the defence
