Crichton again with his butter fingers. Dive on the ball man.

Good old Chinless is an Aus assistant coach! He's one of those coaches who seem to excel as an assistant but is unable to take the next step.

NZ assistant

Johnson is a savvy player. Running rings round Moses.

NZ assistant

That's why they've imoroved.

Edwards needs to inject himself into the play more.

Soon as I say that he does and sets up the winner for us.

Two guys that should not play in the final are Barnett and the Qlder with the horrible hair cut.

Cotter?

Carrigan ran a powerful 140m, only forward to exceed 100m which is not good enuff for an international. He also made 29 tackles. He is my MOM.

I thought Tom Trbojevic followed by Lomax but I'm biased against QLDers. Though NZ fullback could also have gotten it in a losing team.

Tom Trbojevic

He looked cooked with about 20 mins on the clock when the Kiwis made a break down his edge that a set later led to the Kiwis best try that kept them in the contest.

Yeehah!! It is official Kangaroo Ashes tours are back with plans underway for Australia to tour England end of '25 for a three match Test series. Poms are then out here for the '26 World Cup, but is hoped thereafter that reciprocal Ashes series will be played where time permits.

 

[DragonsTragic]

Great fightback by the Kiwis!

Suli has been caught out in defence in nearly every one of their tries.

What a pity we Dragon fans dont have the privilege of a classy new stadium as the Eels do. Kogarah has always been second rate. Maybe that was the hidden reason Lomax joined them.

Expecting a more involved Edwards today after a moderate effort for first 60 last game. Want more carries from Cotter and Barnett plus a concerted effort from all forwards to create second phase play to run these big Tongan dudes off their feet. This is arguably the weakest Kangaroo engine room for skill and offensive mongrel that I have seen in 40 years of watching international footy.

Jillaroos thrash the Kiwi Ferns.

I can hardly listen to Michael Ennis. He keeps laughing at everything. In the first half he's started laughing at least 20 times!

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Roos did what was needed but certainly no spectacle. Changes will be made for the Pommie tour next year. Cleary, Haas and Tino for starters.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

I can hardly listen to Michael Ennis.

on the Nine coverage, also Fittler is hard on the ears while Gould and Joey drone on in one tone.

How many tries did the bunker deny us. Four.
Tommy Turbo MOM. Scored two had two more disallowed. Barnett and Cotter shud never pull on another Roos jumper.

Well that is the PAC Champs over for another year. I expect with the return of Kangaroo plus England tours , the PC will be now held every 2 years.
