Anyone heard who's playing in Lebanon v Malta? No Broncos, I know that much.

I heard rumours of an unknown moustachioed gentlemen named Tysoni Gambelleri lining up for
Malta.

I saw that earlier, supposedly on tonight but zero information from the NRL website. You'd think they could at least post a team list. The coverage of IRL is so amateur.

Michael Cheika will watch his first match in charge of Lebanon from Argentina after flight cancellations forced him to hand over the reins for Wednesday night’s clash with Malta to his coaching team of Matt King, Jake Friend, Robbie Farah and Michael Habib.

With NRL stars Mitchell Moses, Adam Doueihi, Alex Twal, Josh Mansour and Jacob Kiraz not playing against the Jarrod Sammut-led Malta Knights, the Test will be an opportunity to assess some of the emerging talent available to Lebanon ahead of the end-of-season World Cup in England.

It's being treated like a trial by the looks of it, only no namers to play.

I had absolutely no idea it was even on until Kent mentioned it at the end of 360 last night.

Cheika, the ex Wallaby coach? Damn hey.

Ahem, former Roosters assistant.

According to the NRL site the game isn't televised, they televise bloody school games but can't do this?

You mean the Lebanon game? It is on Kayo as a freebie.

No mention of that on the NRL site, it's free footy, the NRL needs to not be so slack.

Mead's last international:

Kumuls captain David Mead wants another young PNG player to be given the same opportunity he had to launch his career at the World Cup.

Really, guess the NRL site just didn't update it because the other games show they are on Foxtel and Kayo.

With the game at Belmore there should be a decent crowd for the Lebanese team even though it's a wednesday night.

Game starts in 10 minutes and the NRL website doesn't have team lists, lame.

The game is 4-0 and the score isn't even updated, the amount of ***** given for the game is zero.

While Malta is a weak side, Lebanon at full strength is at a pacific island level it's pretty disappointing there is no effort what so ever to promote international games apart from the bigger ones.

I understand it's just a token invite but I love corey jensen getting some recognition. Hope hethrington snaps a few in training so slater realises what he could bring too. Mam is surely get looked at for the future but also hope Walters grows from it too, he deserves a bit of credit too.

 

[Super Freak]

Pretty good crowd for a Lebanese vs Malta game.

I know there's a lot of Lebanese people in Sydney, but you don't see them rock up for Bulldogs games.

Pretty poor audio.

That should not happen in this day and age.

Better crowd than a Rooster's game.
