2 hours to go before the final ...just got home from the bar(bastards had us work till 11.30pm instead of 9.30pm just because of friggin Thanksgiving) ...its f-in freezing here in Illinois ...do I stay up with the amber nectar flowing and watch the game live ....or go to bed and dream of NZ winning by 50 .....ok bed then wake up to read the news that a buch of convicts won ...

At last an English ref and English video jockey come right for a NZ team in the final.........wonder if any of me mates have noticed???

Well done to the Kiwis,jeez the last 10 mins i was as stressed as if it had been England playing,great performance full of pride and guts,after going down early they could have folded,what a second half...
Wouldnt say the Aussies are an over-confident or arrogant but there was a half page add in the Telegraph to buy a limited framed print of "australia 2008 world champions".....,you would have thought they might have waited till winning the cup before placing the add in the paper on the day of the game,although the small print did say in the event of Australia losing anyone who had ordered would get a refund!!
How about making Lockyer man-of-match...reminds me a bit of the old Bryan Robson syndrome at Man Utd where they just have to put their boots on to win the award

He was hoping that Saints could choose their opponents for the final not the semi......that way they could at least stand a chance of winning

TBH I think they're a load of pap. Another stupid idea from murdoch.

Marvelous!! After getting totally outclassed in the world cup heres an idea to reward MEDIOCRITY IN THE GAME!! Give a side or two that may well have lost more games then they have won some reward! Blimey,even Quins could make the play-offs at this rate! :curse:

Circus-of-Power

I'll give it a go (not like Wigan will be in the position to choose an opponent for at leat 3 years).....the playoff's now and again produce great games ...Leeds-Wigan from the last season being a perfect example but for the most part they go to script ....something that maybe throws in the odd spanner may work

bill drinkwater

Not too fussed about the top teams choosing,although i would rather not have it,i just dont agree with a side finishing 8th,being given a crack at winning it!Next they will be having some sort of comp for the sides that finish in the bottom half

Thydney

Oh dear how sad

another badf loser bites the dust

Circus-of-Power

Some weeks later and the Aussie's are still reeling from the shock of losing to a better team
Stuart always was a bit of a wanker...

Wonder what the Aussie's think of Wayne Bennett....he must have been called a traitor by some pundits .....
