So it has been confirmed that Timber should have conceded a penalty and therefore a red card for DOGSO 🙃
But we are “ref bashing” for being annoyed about it, apparently.
Samoa, like Tonga, blowing their load early on a 50/50 challenge so early in the game.
Sometimes you’ve got to just wear it - especially when those don’t go your way more often than not.
I don’t think I’ve seen a worse fullback under kicks at international level than Lehi Hopoate. His inability to catch a ball (he’s the same in the NRL) as a fullback must be infuriating for his team’s fans.
@pleighboicj I offered it as an alternative if Lehi “isn’t a fullback” as the previous commenter mentioned given DWZ has played there a lot earlier in his career. Who else would you suggest at fullback from the Tongan squad if not Lehi?
The treatment of Halasima has been so disappointing at this World Cup. Bringing him on for the last 10-20 of games has been odd - particularly tonight given the tough conditions when the game is virtually gone.
@Apostle0271 I watch most games (whole games) 😂
My comment is based on what I’ve seen of him at both NRL and international level - not one game or “highlights” of said game. He also chose not to catch on a number of occasions. Poor.
@Mr_Armageddon1@alltimeMP And Tapine could have scored himself among others bombing tries. It wasn’t perfect but it was a comprehensive win and I’m sure they’ll be the first to look at it and reflect on what to improve during the week.
