Shaun Wane boring football.

[MZH]

Absolutely white hot. I don't want to be too hyperbolic about it but I honestly can't remember a better start to a game by any team in any game. Can anyone seriously tell me that the current Australia team are as good as this lot?

Drives me mad! I hate when the commentators just assume everyone watching doesn't understand the game.

Baldrick in now, skidding across the wet grass. He wouldn't have scored that in the dry.

Who cares

[DavidM]

Brilliant stuff . It’s been so dominant I’m loving it 

[snapski]

Sod the neutrals, its a quarter final. Time to make a statement. Wonderful rugby league.

There will be some people watching in the pub or on a TV whilst on holiday. He’s not talking to them.

[Balmainboy]

very impressive, very dull.

Well my 30 point win prediction is going to be surpassed in 40mins.

Err 24mins

[Wellsy4HullFC]

C'mon, PNG. Greece put up a better fight than this!

England though, wow! Unplayable at the moment. The southern hemisphere teams can't handle us. 

[Desert Skipper]

We needed a stiffer test than this before the next two games.

However, it’s great to watch from an England perspective.

Right I'm staying off the forum.... my Firestick is a good 60 seconds behind and you're all ruining the surprise.

Theres only a few that play in the NRL

Yeah I know there is. It was just another dig at all the NRL fanboys who live to put SL down at every opportunity.

Absolutely unbelievably important.

I don't think Noble realises, it's just a part of his broadcast vocabulary.

That said I have muted it so I can listen to 5 Live football.

Some of the Australian podcast I listen to said this could the the most balanced qf 

[Archie Gordon]

Cannot be a try because he blew his whistle.

[MZH]

Surely that's a try?

[LongbridgeH]

The most impressive thing is that PNG haven’t completed a set off memory

It was a compliment - he went for the try-line, knowing that he had a good chance of sliding further than normal. Great awareness.

[MatthewWoody]

For our viewers at home, I'm happy.
