@scottkuru: Tonga versus Samoa was far more than a battle of size and strength. Structured attack, tactical kicking and beautifully executed backline moves showed rugby league intelligence at the highest level. A long pass that sets up a try and a flick pass that opens up space for a long range finish do not happen by accident. They come from preparation, timing and reading the defence while under enormous physical pressure. Those are the moments that separate good players from great ones, and Tonga and Samoa produced plenty of them. That kind of IQ deserves the same praise given to any other player in the game. #rugby #rugbyleague #toasamoa #samoa #tonga
Tonga definitely played a better game. Their plays were concise and well executed. Samoa was messy but they still managed to capitalise on those messy plays. As an Aussie born Samoan, I gotta admit Tonga was the better team and I actually think they may take out the whole cup.

As a Samoan that’s so true. They usually say talk about muscles without acknowledging their skills and professionalism.

I’ve been saying this for years. This is how they brainwash ppl into thinking players like Cameron smith is the goat. Using words like that.

The smartest thing the ARL can do is bring in a polension team into state of origin . This will benifit the game to no ends , Tri series origin it will be huge .
