    Every year the Kiwis have weak halves who cannot lead the team around so no wonder we get beaten all the time. TMM & K-Nik have shit for brains & aren't even the dominant halves for their club teams so are not used to controlling play.

    Going to be a very interesting TLT indeed.

    What day/time do the players get back to Uas/NZ? Will coaches know on Tuesday how likely they'll be to backup or is it going to be like origin and all guesswork

    Probably depends how the game plays out and how they feel when they get back. I know Seibold has a plan for his bunnies to play and expects them to play, but will wait and see how they are upon return.

    I guess a lot of the teams will have a bye the week after, so you would think those players would play.

    You would think and they would be named like normal unless the coaches have made the decision already beforehand to rest players. Then decisions would be made later in the week.

    I read one article that suggested ten thousand. In a 70,000 stadium. Will be like a Roosters game.

    The same article the American guy was saying that he's spoken with numerous people around the place who still think it's the All Blacks that are coming to play.

    20,000 they reckon. Out of 76,000. Wonder how much they're charging for tickets!

    Just checked the ticket page - they range from US$15 - $69 from what I can see. Reasonable I guess, but not for people expecting to see the All Blacks haha

    20k is a great result imo. Might not look great, but its a start. CBS are showing the game too. I reckon there will be plenty of people who arent quite interested enough to attend, but will tune in on tv (aka every rugby league fan in australia).

    First game of the 2019 season in the states should build off what this weekends game does.
