Moto, he did tackle well but seemed to just move the ball along the line a lot, it was only midway late in the second half that he tried to take the line on and move about the line (not always stuck out wide on the left).

One instance in the first half made me smile, the Nz forwards moved the ball along the line to the left and Tommy passed it on to the centre, the commentator said " structured play is not the Nz way the play better with power up the middle.


The Aussies were by far the better team.

Yes, they were. The Kiwis had that little patch just before half-time, but overall the Aussies won at a canter.

Todd Carney released from Catalans. Worth a year?

If the rumours regarding Albert Kelly are true and where suprisingly in the hunt for another halfback which IMO could mean one of two things A Williams has had his head turned by Warrington or B Leuluai is being used as a "bit player" switching his attentions to coaching rather than playing week in week out.

Can't see a bloke who is playing as a first choice half for the Kiwis being happy moving to a club to become a bit player.

As unlikely as it sounds what else could be the reason for us to be in the market for another halfback unless the rumours of Williams leaving is true? Or perhaps the injury too MM will eat into next season?

Jeez if Williams went and we got Albert Kelly as his replacement I think I'd curl up and cry.

I wouldn't touch Carney with a barge pole either! He's been very poor when I've seen him when you consider his billing.

When George leaves it will be for the NRL.

Correct and he would do a good job in the NRL too.

Where have the Williams/Wire rumours come from?

One of your fans has been putting it on various Wire social media groups over the past few days (I won't name him on here). He is convinced it's happening, but as a Wire fan i'd be VERY suprised if it does. Warrington desperately need to sign a centre & winger to replace the poor standard that we currently have (Evans, Penny, Lineham). So why would they go for another halve, unless one of ours is leaving ?

You're assuming Sandow will stay, then?
