2024 International Footy

[Callmack1]

A good time to start this thread as the 2024 International Calendar gets underway tonight with the Aus PM's XIII up against PNG PM's XII.

Looking forward to this international series! A lot of players have been ruled out for all teams, so that could make it interesting.

I love the idea of the promotion/relegation system they've brought in this year, raises the stakes a bit.

Yep, Pacific Cup should be a good watch.

I guess we’re team Tonga and Team Fiji given they have the most Souths reps (2) in each division.

 

[Smiths Crisps]

Australian Schoolboys vs PNG 22 all. That’s pretty poor for Aus but good signs for a future PNG NRL side.

 

[Smiths Crisps]

PNG scooooooooore. Crowd somewhat happy about it. 0-6.

 

[yobbo84]

I'd love to sit in a PNG crowd one day.

 

[Smiths Crisps]

PNG crowd now going berserk. 0-12.

Impressive kick from the sideline with a howling breeze.

How does Reuben Garrick make this side, bloke has been a defensive liability for all of 2024

 

[Smiths Crisps]

JD has the Kumuls defending really compressed. If the Aussie centres don’t hog it, there’s plenty of points.

Hogged it earlier when the winger was unmarked.

A certain PM who ‘chose’ the Aus team would be particularly happy if PNG scored some tries.

 

[Smiths Crisps]

Duncan on playing prop.

Always thought we should play him there. Fittler knows his stuff.

yep, Manly moving him to centre has just always baffled me
