RLWC 2021 Week 1 Discussion

[NSW stables]

Loving this. Everyone was blowing a load about the Samoan side and to have this score put on them, awesome.

The back 5 of England have been really good. It shows how important the contribution of early hit ups and quick play the balls from the backs are in today's game (this is why penrith are so dominant).

If anyone has VPN, the feed on BBC still works. It's a Fox League issue.

I think England are dark horses in this WC.

If Australia and NZ are off their game a bit, I think they could nab a win.

 

[Super Freak]

My god, how soft was that?

It's going to be 60.

 

[Super Freak]

That was really lazy from Paulo.

Milford was never going to stop Burgess so Paulo needed to help him and he just gives a little shove.

 

[Allo]

Jeez I turned it off at 60th minute thinking it’d end up about 30-12 …

 

[Super Freak]

I don't think Suaalii is going to be playing fullback again in this WC.

 

[mitch222]

Fucking lol at Samoa being the third favourite fucking lol

 

[Mustafur]

I can't believe they didn't bother with a warm up game, I think even Lebanon would beat Samoa.

Yeah absolutely especially given the lack of combinations in the Australian team. They're not really going to get a good warm-up game and could trick themselves into a couple of poor selections.

England look like they've gone up a level since the 2017 World Cup. On paper Australia look a step below, but we'll see.

 

[Wolfie]

My prediction of a Samoa win went well

 

[pennywisealfie]

Wow. I won't say any more about Samoa than what's been said. All I'll say is that I'm pumped for Herbie.

With the tournament being a bit more competitive this time, I thought I'd be really into Australia. But I still only just care about the Broncos players. Go Herbie and go Patty later on.

Watching an old game on fox how good was slater lockyer thurston smith as a spine oh and khunt at 14

 

[Super Freak]

Predicting Australia to score within the first 5 minutes.

 

[Super Freak]

Wow. Fiji score first.

 

[Super Freak]

It's like Taulagi was running in quick sand.

 

[Super Freak]

Okay commentators, calm down.

They caught Australia off guard, but it's just a consolation.

 

[Super Freak]

Come on he doesn't hit him high.
