Mitchell making the easiest metres

Far out our defensive line is just waiting for the Aussies to run 10 before we tackle.
Also, DWZ needs to close down the space when defending at the back rather than just waiting.
He finally penalised them for offside on the line. Yet they've been offside at the try line in every set.
Bromwich has been awesome in this match. Yet Kidwell (and the NZRL) ditched him for a wife basher last year who defected to Tonga a year later anyway. Idiots.

Aussie errors keeping us in it.
Ref not penalising offsides on the tryline has helped keep us out it too.
That was good steeping by Johnson but he probably should have given it to Rapana at some stage to try drive over.
And the Kiwis are now playing with out a real hooker.

This is a pretty poor watch really. Such disjointed attack.
Nikorima getting caught out at the ruck a couple of times. Missing our general.
I think there is vulnerability in this Aussie forward pack
Aussie backs have us on pace and are about as big as our boys. But I think if we continue to get Bromwich, JWH and co going we should have enough attacking opportunities throughout the whole game.

Yep, having Bromwich, Taupau and a firing JWH is great for the Kiwis.

Hilarious listening to the 9 commentators. That was pathetic.
League has always been neurotic about knock ons, and then fuck.
Will make for an interesting next 20 minutes though
Have our centres and wingers only just meet in the car park? All at sea on both sides defensively.
Still can’t believe that no try call. Many always in control of ball.

What did they say? Why do you have the Ch9 commentators?
That no-try highlights everything wrong with the TMO. Live it looks fine, replay shows no obvious separation between hand and ball so technically he didn't knock it on, but they play super slo-mo replay after super slo-mo replay until they convince themselves that maybe he did knock it forward 0.001mm.
@steven-harris said in NRL 2018:
@nepia the fullback was offside anyway,would not have counted,to be fair it looked offside through the naked eye watching happen.
Even if he was that doesn't balance out them getting a decision wrong. Get that one right, then get the next one right and if he's offside then deny the try then.
@steven-harris See NQ's post.

They were saying no knock on and taking the piss out of it being replayed so much. Then a big ohhhh no when he said knock on. I'm in Melbourne watching on 9now.
