Figured I'd make a dedicated thread for picking the teams, rather than clogging up the main World Cup thread which can be used to talk about other games/topics going on across the tournament.. Also I miss picking the teams during the NRL season lol

First pool game v a weaker side.. Id give the players who missed the Rhinos game a run.. then the next pool games work on the combos leading into the knockout stages..
So it should mean about 10 or so changes... the line up should look close to the side v Tonga earlier this year..

No chance of getting up at 230 for eng sam but does anyone know if there’s replays on sky? Or just on spark

 

[Wrighty]

Hopefully Nikora (the sharks player) doesn't get picked for any matches. Was great in 2020. Not so great any time lately.

replays are on TV3 apparently,

Spark Sport will stream all 61 games of the men's, women's and wheelchair events live and on-demand, while Three and ThreeNow will carry delayed coverage of all New Zealand fixtures, starting October 17 (NZ time), when the Kiwis face Lebanon.

Rugby League World Cup: Three, ThreeNow to screen free-to-air coverage of NZ Kiwis, Kiwi Ferns bid for world crown

The NZ men and women last won their respective trophies in 2008.

i might get a spark sub for the knock out rounds, the pools are going to be thrashings all over, except england samoa

Just checked and TV3 will show this game at 9:20am on Monday. Pre-match is 9am.
