It gets worse for the Poms. Looks like PNG will want to impress a few people www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... 16p2z.html

, and it'll stay that way thanks

too easy......


Steak and Cheese pies......I'd rather eat turds......disgusting fare.
L&P? Unless it has an ABV it doesn't get touched bazza........still can't get used to the dishwater they call beer here.....have to stick to the Nigerian Lager.......and they sell that in proper size pint glasses as well....not the 16 oz shot glasses they try to pass off as a pint!

Nowt wrong with Tui pale ale Gutters , or Lion Red for that matter , unless you're one of these ' real ale winkers '

Tui is normally drunk as a warm up beer........or when Pack'n'Save have it on special at $12 for 12 cans...Lion Red if I find myself in the Naenae Hotel....but Guinness if I am out and about in town.

You go in the Naenae Hotel

, bloody hell , I'm not arguing with you again

Nowt wrong with the NaeNae hotel........and Mrs G never thinks of looking for me there


The Empire in Petone, which I believe was a Mob pub in your day is now totally gastrofied....and owned by a manc...and expensive. Pint in the Naenae still retails at $5.20.........
Can't believe the Orcas blew the national comp this year. The final was on yesterday and it was a cracking game...low scoring 14-6 to Auckland v Counties....but a great game. The entire day 15's (highlights) , 17's and premiers was on TV......

What not even a trial? You know nothing. Not even for a northerner.

Hey, Barry, I've done Cumbria to Melbourne via Manchester, Singapore, 9 times now and I would love to be able to do it in under 30 hours, mate.

The team landed on Monday and played on Saturday but in between they didn't have much in the way of training drills, etc, plus many of them hadn't played for several weeks, so on the whole I think we have to accept that they could genuinely make the comments that they did. However, they will not be able to give the same results next weekend so let's wait and judge them on that performance.

Guess what?

Hammersmith is in west London.

Thats south of you though Mr Bradford 2000


So you were totally wrong...as usual

On Singapore airlines no doubt

I think NZ will murder England this weekend........and at 4/1 with bet365 are a bargain for the whole thing...Australia are unbackable and PNG are better value than England to win the whole thing.

Haha The numpty from the North pretending to be an aussie tells the Londoner living in Sydney where Hammersmith is. Priceless. Show us that passport pic again Mr Emoticon.

4/1.... I'm not a gambling man but thats not bad odds...especially for the side that will more than likely win it


Jarryd Hayne is doubtful now for the roos as well

Looking back at the 2 warm up games...England would have put 30 past Samoa, but the Kiwis would have put 50 on the Maori......and this board would have gone into 'England to win 4 nations" meltdown.

As it is, PNG will struggle as they have a pretty much 100% 'local" team with little NRL experience and england won't get caught out like they nearly did in the RLWC.....and I say it's between an Understrength roos and England to see who plays the Kiwis in the final.

Thats the trouble with PNG this time round... their team is virtually all 'local'

I read they had a good second half the other day in a warm up match...against some Queensland side I think it was.. can't remember who off the top of my head.

The PNG players will be desperate to impress though... they want to play in the NRL or SL. If they put in a good performance against a rusty Australia and the Kiwis... well who knows what might happen against the Poms? And it looks like Stanley Gene has fired them up.....

Bit early to say without seeing what the Kangaroos have to offer in this tournament... but realistically the top team on the ladder at the end of this should be NZ or Aus... with England and PNG in 3rd and 4th.

By the time of the final round in NZ it should read Australia P2 W2.. NZ P2 W2.. so there are your finalists. I expect Australia to rest some players for this one... but a second place finish will be enough for the final.

PNG and the Poms will be fighting it out in their last game for the wooden spoon.


And I know who i'll be going for out of that one!

Apparently yes, the Roos were spotted in the Coogee hotel knocking a few back last weekend.

anyone wanna see photos of the australian team pi$$ed up in a leeds hotel leering and some beautiful girls??


i happen to have such photos in my possession..

Is it as bad as Big Willie Mason and the Count enjoying 'Sunday service' down one of Barry McKenzies favourite haunts (The Church) a few years back?

The pride of Australia!

The Church does have that effect on you!

I've seen blokes look just like Minichiello after less than 2 minutes in that place
