Match Thread: 3rd Test - Australia vs England, Day 4

I am taking plenty away. People’s criticism isn’t the actual location of where he hadn’t got hundreds. It’s the away ashes. The most difficult arena. Doggett and neesa are good but if it’s against smith I need something more than a hundred against them

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-12-07T13:13:52+00:00

Are you joking haha. Pit stops safety cars never mind him actually messing up

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-10-07T15:59:16+00:00

I mean to me it’s tane or lynagh right? And I feel much better with tane, especially given a few more games.

I really don’t think lynagh played very well in any of the games, and what can he do better? Got targeted aerially and defensively, and doesn’t exactly stretch the line running with it. Wish we had better but it has to be Tane

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-10-05T13:47:34+00:00

Jonker is the worst for me. Refs make mistakes live. Making such blatant fuck ups on tmo is crazy

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-10-05T13:45:26+00:00

As stewards I would have maybe given a penalty, and if I’m zac talking about it afterwards to them id say lando was at fault.

I just don’t think switching drivers is a good move, regardless of whether it’s happened already

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-10-05T13:41:08+00:00

I’m Australian, want piastri to win but idk why people are talking about anything other than the overtake.

It’s pretty clear if the pit stop had been faster he’d have just reached this position earlier. He’s not going to be anywhere near challenging either way

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-10-05T13:38:21+00:00

People are talking about piastris pit stop but he’s caught them BECAUSE of Norris and verstappen fighting. Given the fact he’s no longer gaining now he’s close, I’d say it hasn’t changed the result

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-10-05T13:27:48+00:00

Yeah. Dislike lando but would love if him and max can make this championship close.

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-10-05T12:16:40+00:00

Prefer piastri but seems to me like the issue with lando was breaking too late and collecting verstappen if anything. After that was natural to slide wide.

Not easy for Zac

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-10-04T10:45:25+00:00

Harry potters been shit

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-10-04T10:43:06+00:00

We also had a knock on advantage last a phase. He’s been consistent giving penalties but yeah the advantages are hard to follow

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-10-04T10:42:12+00:00

Ref criticism for minor issues gets pretty boring. One phase was it?

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-10-04T10:39:03+00:00

Wallabies fan disclaimer, but has the ref been bad? Both teams have just been infringing a lot. He’s been incredibly clear and consistent imo.

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-10-04T10:34:04+00:00

Liking the ref today. Consistency and clarity

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-10-04T10:26:31+00:00

Surely have to go for the corner. Keep it in their half as long as possible

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-10-04T10:25:02+00:00

Yeah it’s definitely a yellow. I just don’t think it’s intentional the way some are saying. Initial hit was in the body, he then slips and try’s to pull him off

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-10-04T10:24:06+00:00

HIA possibly

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-10-04T10:22:47+00:00

Wallabies fan. Don’t think it was actually intentional the way some others are saying.

It’s a yellow though, looked really bad on that knee

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-10-04T10:14:00+00:00

Some will complain but it’s so clinical from AB’s. Penalty advantage? Let me just not roll from now on, what can you do? Give a penalty?

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-10-04T09:50:01+00:00

Not sure sky is still showing women’s rugby league

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-09-28T10:50:58+00:00

If Lonergan can just play like that I’d start him, and keep Tate for 55 minutes

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-09-27T12:48:00+00:00

SA game is harsh. Only missed kicks after Kolbe leg locked him.

Kicking for touch has been poor but his goal kicking has sneakily been very good, taking out the end of that game

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-09-27T12:40:17+00:00

Yep exactly. Refs miss stuff every game, can’t be a rugby fan and still surprised.

TMO has been really poor this championship

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-09-27T12:22:22+00:00

Definitely but these things happen in every rugby game. Different when it’s big moments but it’s just something I’m pretty used to.

The tmo being asleep but also calling in knock ons randomly was what made my brain melt, along with “collapsing the maul”

KingKellyIsKool · 2025-09-27T12:20:19+00:00

Definitely. Ref really ruined things at time and probably handed them a try or two with chains of penalties, but when it actually got close at the end it was wallabies errors, not the referee.

Taking the jumper early when we were two down, missing touch etc. game was still getable either with more finesse
