And Carney as the backup halfback? How did Prince get overlooked yet again?

It's a conspiracy against tigers and ex-tigers players by the Australian selectors... Although it's fine to use our coach... and yes I am still upset that John Skandalis got overlooked for 2005 squad.

Loved watching the Kumals bash the absolute bejeezus out of the Aussies this afternoon. Also loved hearing Roy and HG call the game, missed their Origin game calls.

The Kumals really ripped into Lockyear, Tate, Gallen, Thiaday and Watmough. Thiaday and Watmough were so ineffective against this team, but Lewis has been a star.
If only PNG had some better attacking and kicking options, they could have been very competitive, their defense was brilliant (sure they let in 42 points, and every second tackle would have been penalised in the NRL, it shows that PNG is ready for their own NRL team, all they need is a attacking 7 who can kick.

As it is, I doubt NZ will be troubled by PNG as much as the Aussies were (though if Benji is targeted like Lockyer, he might be a sore boy after the game), but I bet their hard hitting will ruffle England's feathers!

Australia need to make some immediate changes to their squad, Tate and Tonga have to go, Tate is too big an injury risk, and Tonga is too greedy, there were 4-5 opportunities where had he passed to Tuqiri, Australia would have scored, instead he held onto it. Watmough deserves to be dropped, he was woeful, and Thiaday and Gidley didnt have much impact either, so pressure will be on them.

Looks like the 'professional athletes' of Rugby League have outdone themselves this time. Well done Joel Monaghan!
Joel's puppy-lovin' antics will definitely have to be added to the 2010 version of NRL Hall of Shame Gallery on Triple M.

Remember we try to focus on the positive aspects or what we like from the various football codes not talk about the bad things.
