arwebb Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 38-12 is a full-time score at the Galpharm Stadium and it means the calculators will need to be at the ready next Saturday when we face the Kangaroos in Hull. Great Britain need to beat Australia by three points or more on the night to reach the Elland Road final. New Zealand will play in the final in two weeks time unless the Lions beat the Aussies by nine points or more. What a night it's going to be at the magnificent KC Stadium.

arwebb Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 No booze for me, well at least not until I get back from the Causeway Stadium and Wycombe Wanderers v Grimsby Town. Plenty of tension, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see, if I predict something, the exact opposite invariably happens, e.g. the Lions in the summer. So, I'll just enjoy a couple of celebratory John Smiths, thank you very much.

John Smiths is a beautiful Yorkshire bitter, the virtues of which I enjoy on a regular basis. I have no idea if it is exported, but it should be. Awwwww! Bless you 2, it's nice to see a friendly exchange and friendly banter between rival fans - this is how it should be! Oh for utopia... Steady on, Beth. I find this kind of banter regularly on my travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexjc Posted November 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Finals Game: New Zealand 24 Australia 0 YES!!!! TRUE!!! :wwww: A great result for both rugby codes in NZ as the ABs completed a grandslam in the other code! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Good on you NZ! And congratulations. I suppose that starts the payback for Oz supporting Japan for 2011! I'm actually quite pleased the Aussies got whipped! It's a great reesult for the code! About time a spark of life was breathed into international Rugby League _ no sport can prosper if a single country dominates it too long. And hopefully this is a kick in the arse for the Kangaroos. Overpaid, overconfident, treating the tour as a long end-of-season overseas party. They got what was coming to them! Hmmm. Not a good year for Australia in any of the traditional sports it is so strong in _ first Cricket, then Rugby Union and now League ... Maybe now they've got some incentive to pull their socks up and come out fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexjc Posted November 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 It sure makes a change to see the Kangaroos getting tonked. It sure makes a change to see NZ beating Australia in a league series. This is just the positive boost NZL needed as the ARL Warriors struggle once again to perform. The'res hope for the code yet in an over excited Rugby Union nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwebb Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 There always was hope for rugby league in New Zealand, which can only be built on by co-hosting the next two Tri-Nations series and the 2008 World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team need some fresh thinking and fresh blood. Bennett's been rusted on the position for ages, just as he's been at the Brisbane Broncos. His style's just too predictable now.
