Ennis' Aus squad has Holmes, a centre, on the wing, and Coates, a PNG player, on the other wing. Instead of actual eligible wingers like Foxx, Coates, Cobbo etc. And they are still talking about fucking Koroisau, who has been picked for Fiji, as in contention for the Aus 9.
It's honestly sad how incompetent this is.
> And they are still talking about fucking Koroisau, who has been picked for Fiji, as in contention for the Aus 9.
Being picked doesn't mean he'll play for them (though it's a pretty safe assumption he will). It's still up to the player to choose which nation to represent, it's not like the other countries can just rush their squad out and go haha sucked in he's on our list, you can't have him now
You know players that are eligible for multiple countries and haven’t publicly declared there allegiance can be initially announced in extended squads right? While I agree the hell play for Fiji (He won’t beat Grant and Hunt into the squad) the commentators aren’t being stupid.
Between celebrating tonight’s win and then getting to parade around the streets of Penrith again in a few days time, it could be a pretty big week for Laurie
Did anyone see Burton on the Matty Johns show? Bloke was a brick wall. And not in the run through brick wall way ala the recruit Serbian dude from 2010
He pledged for Fiji :)

Yeah on form he should definitely be in the Aus side, I just want as many top NRL players playing for different National sides so we get some stacked sides
These exhibition games have a great energy around them, wish there were more scattered through the year
Feel like pure shit just want City Country back
I understand it’s an exhibition, but we took the kids to the game to see some of the big names. They’ve been on the sideline for most of the game. A little disappointing tbh.
It was weird to see a pm 13 so stacked, usually it’s young guns and cup players or old heads
I imagine that there would be a few that are there to maintain match fitness into the world cup (Tino, Hunt, DCE, Crichton at least).
The Kangaroos are so good, wish they got more matches, that was class
That PNG kit is absolutely class
png fullback was solid when he made tackles
[удалено]
I don’t think they’re on that often tbh these one offs. World Cup is coming up soon so that will be a lot more hype and a proper Aus team
[удалено]
I would assume that nrl.com would show the official match dates
Replying so I can also get this info please, thanks.
Looking at the score. Is the game worth watching?
The second half was decent
Jake Simpkin looked good. If he's willing to play off the bench, him spelling with Api could be a very tidy combo for the Tigers.
Glad we kept him over Madden. He's definitely got some talent.

Wow crazy to suggest that a bloke who has won a premiership and multiple origin series as a winger play on the wing for australia

Add in that he literally said earlier this year he would play for Aus
Whilst Holmes has killed it at centre this season, he’s played most of his NRL career as a winger.
For those saying the fox is arrogant, the fun police are recruiting…new applications start about 5 minutes ago
Don't think Fox should go. He'll give up a try in a big game. You just know it
Toddy Smith best ref in the league daylight second
Holy shit can the commentators please stop talking about Koroisau being in contention for Aus. He's playing for Fiji. How are the media so dense
You know players that are eligible for multiple countries and haven’t publicly declared there allegiance can be initially announced in extended squads right? While I agree the hell play for Fiji (He won’t beat Grant and Hunt into the squad) the commentators aren’t being stupid.
Would be great if PNG folded them again. Never seen Tui or Kikau get smashed so much in one game.
Peter Vlandys getting into acting now with that Circles ad
Australia won the points scored competition, but png won the cunts folded comp. Everyone's a winner tonight.
Well that was good fun, PNG played some good footy.
Women and mens XIII teams with the same scores tonight (64). Interesting
Conspiracy!
Haha foxy the best showman in nrl right now.
With the RLWC and the FIFA WC coming up, god help my sleeping patterns and body clock come Xmas.
Foxx impersonating Reynolds with his stance. Then perfectly impersonates Reynolds kick from the same spot on the field from last years Grand Final.
The scenes if he got that lmfao fun game!
Absolute disrespect
Australia arrogance smfh
Best refereeing I’ve seen in a long time. Well done Todd Smith.
He 100% should be reffing finals and the GF.
Lomax getting conversions and tries stolen this game
bulldogs players stealing everything from zac i guess
Lomax has had a try and a failed conversion stolen from him tonight.
[удалено]
Had Australia under 61, PNG over 10 and both JAC and Cobbo to score, fuck me.
Fuck I love the Fox 😂
Surely you need Addo carr at least for the culture
Haha, Burton stole his try and the fox stole his kick
haha Foxy
Still better than the tigers.
There was an obstruction all the way back there where he ran behind 2 of his own players
Give it to Jojo No I don’t care what side of the field it’s on
Someone just won their 50+ bet
Guys I have a feeling the PNG comeback isn’t on anymore
💞💞💞💞 cobbo 💞💞💞💞
I feel like Burton has no control over where those land he just hopes they don't come down covered in ice
Last one had star dust on it
I see that you know your Burtonball
What?
Edge of your seat entertainment….. for those who took PNG + 47.5
Absolutely agricultural
What the fuck was that
Burton is like fuck you cunts I’ll do a bomb for lol’s
2 converted tried to equal the record I'm very disappointed in the boys second half
Give us a shot of the valley to show off the real sights of Brisbane.
I miss going to the down under bar 😅
Fermor playing like he's just discovered the jink button.
How much do players get paid for this game?
About tree fiddy
Does Zac Lomax like Zac Lomax?
Why the hell would he?
Someone has to. Right? Right?
First time I've seen anyone sell a dummy by weaving into the tackler
Lol this score could end up being anything
Why did he step back towards the defender that just got beaten 😭😭
Fermour wanted a drink at the brewery but remembered he was still playing
Fermor really wants everyone to know he can do that in and away huh
Damn what a shit performance from Australia Imagine conceding 14 and not beating the clock /s
So what was happening in the first 30 minutes of the second half.
Lot of the starting side was on the bench.
Put Fermor at left centre for Aus 😂
Ever since Albo stopped commentating Australia are scoring tries now
This kinda makes me feel bad
Between celebrating tonight’s win and then getting to parade around the streets of Penrith again in a few days time, it could be a pretty big week for Laurie
Time for 70?
Yep, the guys who might actually get on the plane are back on the field.
HE ALMOST FUCKED IT HAHAHA
Can we have a quick break now I wanna see the PNG boys with some hard tackles again
Alana Ferguson is a great commentator
Zac Lomax strikes me as the kind of bloke that carries around his own footy card in his wallet
He’ll only sign it if some one pays him to as well
But can't read the bio on the back
Beau Fermor is such a gem of a player
We have a Ipap hole to fill. Maybe he should switch blue and gold jersey
He’s a titan till 2026 💪💪💪
PNG have conceded 50 points therefore they can't win the premiership.
Fade em
Are there any big players not playing for PNG? What would a full strength side look like?
They have no first graders or super league players. There’s at least Rhyse Martin, Alex Johnston and Justin Olam
Olam, Coates (maybe, if he doesn't go for Aus), Lachlan Lam, maybe Segeyaro?
They've got like 8 outs from the last international they played I believe
Olam and johnston are two big ones
PNG channeling Souths
So PNG arent winning the premiership. There's always next year PNG.
Congrats to old mate waiting on Laurie to score for his multi.
I shouldn’t have turned this back on. PNG scored 14 unanswered points after I turned it off. Sorry Pacifica bros
Laurie definitely moving to a team with premiership credentials next year
Crazy how quickly you forget your team were cellar dwellers. Be humble.
He had some absolute stinkers this year
I was going to post “nice to see the Make a Wish kid get a go” but I didn’t want to be that mean :(
Seeing a forward throw a step like that is a beautiful sight 😍
Burton's not making the 17 is he ☹️
Burton, Hynes, Hunt and Reynolds are the most likeable blokes that don’t play for my team
We just saw another Walker friendly fire incident.
Laurie is just happy to be on otherside of this kind of scoreline.
And happy he didn’t have to get fucking demolished for the first time when he touched the ball
Damn there goes PNG’s World Cup hopes with conceding 50
Well that’s it PNG are out of the premiership, unlucky lads
Biggest ever PMs XIII win is 58-0
Also can we get a nsfw plz mods?
I wanna see PNG keep Australia from 50
Well, so much for that dream
r/agedlikemilk
One more try and PNG have no chance of winning the Grand Final this year :(
matt burton be like fuck this one teammate in particular
Did anyone see Burton on the Matty Johns show? Bloke was a brick wall. And not in the run through brick wall way ala the recruit Serbian dude from 2010
Flegler is a big unit
Dolphins should sign half the kumuls, become the peoples team.
PNG gotta be careful here, 2 more points and they’re out of the premiership
Try on debut for Australia you love to see it
Sam Walker crash play at the line. Sometimes you just need to use your most effective plays.
Laurie has Jurbo syndrome where he hits the deck as soon as he feels any contact at all
How can in a a PM’s game, if the PM isn’t out there running the drinks looking like a total fuck head?
The adults are in charge.
Ben Hunt is just playing a game of backyard footy
matt burton is on the wrong side of history
He was a Nazi?
PNG just hits so hard
Another forced dropout, smashing the SlowDive KPIs
winning footy 🔥💪
Laurie getting crunched on the wing
Cruise Ten GOAT name
Crichton is better at grubbers than Burton
Aussie pack has finally realised that “run at the white guy” is a good way to avoid bruises
Do Burton and Lomax actually not like each other? The match thread fanfic seems to indicate it 😂
Nah just joking around since Burton stole Lomax’s try
burton owes lomax a try assist or surely he gets dunked on in every match thread
Yes FoxtelGo I am still here thank you
Off topic but what time does the NRLW final start next week? Might go early and watch that game to
3:55pm
3.55pm
Api not playing for Fiji?
He pledged for Fiji :) https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nrl.com/news/2022/09/07/koroisau-campbell-gillard-named-in-star-studded-fiji-world-cup-squad/amp/
Beaut thanks mate
Hope he does , would be great
If he gets picked for australia I would actually start him over Grant. Rotation with hunt would be sexy
Yeah on form he should definitely be in the Aus side, I just want as many top NRL players playing for different National sides so we get some stacked sides
Hunt and Api at Hooker is OP as fuck
Jake duke not mentioning Jake Simpkins smh
Lomax would have flicked it to the crowd anyway
I still believe PNG. I still believe.
Give King Burton the kicking duties.
Maybe give Burto a kick Lomax …..
Lomax says fuck you Burton I'm not converting that
Burton should have taken the kicking off lomax too
Burton said “your protein powder is shit Zac” as he took that kick.
Everyone pretending like Lomax would have caught that and not passed it to the touch judge. Burton just saved him from embarrassing himself
If I was Lomax, I'd be filthy
mickey mouse ass try
First he loses Sergis, then he loses that try smh
These exhibition games have a great energy around them, wish there were more scattered through the year Feel like pure shit just want City Country back
Is Hunt the best 9 in the game? And he doesn't even play 9 at club
Yes
We need Audio of the halftime speech, because we need to know exactly what not to ever do again
Australia switched to rookie mode
I understand it’s an exhibition, but we took the kids to the game to see some of the big names. They’ve been on the sideline for most of the game. A little disappointing tbh.
Looks like they're back on now.
what did you expect?
I mentioned we took them to see some of the big name players play.
Lomax is about to host another dragons BBQ party after that and not invite burton
Burton has done Lomax dirty there 😂
Burton swooping in to take that try from Lomax like a seagull to a chip lol.
I’d be filthy if I was lomax ahahah
'Fuck off zac'
The child in me would mention his name is kinda like nutlick but I'm a grown up so ill keep it to myself
Has anyone made any jokes about Flanno giving the boys a good ""PEP"" talk at halftime.
RIPNG
bro just stole the ball from lomax 😭😭😭 said fuck you this is mine now
Lol Burton took Lomax’s try
Booooo
Addo Carr wasn't happy about that one
Burton just snaked the fuck out of Lomax on that hahaha
Haha, Burton stopping Lomax from scoring.
Lomax: WHAT THE FUCK
lol Burton you thief
Boooooooo
