Internationals All Stars 2019

[Chchfanatic]

Yeah he’s looked pretty ordinary

He’s got a poor tackling technique too. Not quite the next immortal the Aussie media are making out. I do like this David Fifita though. Wow he could be anything

 

[davewjnz]

Hiku is so un-reliable I get the jitters everytime the ball goes to him

 

[Sup42]

They really needed Ponga at fullback, Hiku has been killed tonight poor bastard.

 

[Chchfanatic]

He’ll adjust. He’s too good not to.
But I agree, I hope the Knights leave him at fullback for another season at least.
He’s looking a bit like Benji when he tried to hard tonight though.

Agree. They haven’t targeted him tonight. Which is what you’d do every week.

 

[Trugoy]

Field goal??!
Upto Roberts?

 

[matiunz]

At least had some interest in the all stars game this time- Maori just not good enough tonight unfortunately

 

[Sup42]

Got a hidding in the end.

Good to see it played here. Bring it here.

 

[Trugoy]

Entertaining game. I like the concept and hope it grows. Great way to get the footy season started.
Chur the Indigenous brothers!
We’re coming for ya next year.

Eh. Lame league.
Why do I always feel cheated when I watch league.
And why do the commentators make me feel like I'm being yelled at by morons who watch to many Hollywood films. ( Andrew Voss)
I never feel this way after watching test cricket.

 

[Weno]

Loved it.
Came out on the other side but really enjoyed it.

Hughes,Proctor and Tamou for me.
A Fafita,D Fafita and Walker as well.

Beale looked sharp with ball in hand.
Tohu Harris is going to be vital for us.
Blair was solid and looks like he could stay in the 11-12 jersey for us.
Hiku got blitzed like the rest of the backline.

 

[Navigator]

I didn't enjoy the ref's, at one point you hearc1 ref call for a penalty for the leg pull and the other plays on, it's a worry cause these guys will be ref's for some of our games and I bet we wont get the call's given to us.

Agree with your comments above. Good to see Beale having a run. The Warriors need his experience so hopefully he can cement a centre spot. Hiku should not be allowed to playfullback.
Is Brandon Smith over rated? Fans got excited when Cam Smith resigned suggested that the Warriors should should chase him hard ... I think Roache is a better Long term prospect or even squeezing out another year for Luke.

 

[Stalefish540]

Why was our spine not -

7. Niko
6. Hughes
1. Ponga
9. Smith/Levi

Surely that would have been abit better, and maybe abit more direction??

Ohwell decent product, so hopefully it grows. Good that no players got injured aswell, so clubs can't cry about that.

Thought Andrew Fifitia was looking pretty good last night:

 

[Beastmode]

They really needed Ponga at fullback, Hiku has been killed tonight poor bastard.

I thought Hiku was carrying too much weight. Is he always that big boned?

What happened to all that preseason training with Corvo? he should be slimmer and fitter shouldn’t he?

 

[Miket12]

i just wonder how long it will take for Andrew Fifita to remember one of his grandparents was Scottish or some other country so he can be the first player in League history to represent four different groups/races: Australia, Tonga, Indigenous Australians and Scotland/whoever.

 

[razzrillinger]

Really enjoyed the game, so much entertainment from start to finish.

Would be great to see it over here next time, Whangarei or Rotorua would go off.

Jahrome Hughes surprised me and seems like a good kid. Would like to see him at the Warriors at some point.

 

[razzrillinger]

And on Ponga, it's a shame they're moving him from fullback this year as he's absolutely brilliant in that position.

But I think next to somebody like Pearce who will run the show, he'll make a great half after he's played there a while.

 

[charlie bobmarley]

Bit of brouhaha about the players not singing the Aussie anthem
I was mildly surprised they even did the anthems
The pregame dancing performances by both teams was more than enough National culture for me
