GC18: Boomers vs New Zealand

Can we see these college guys playing in an open league before people keep bringing their names up Landale, Cooks and others have played in weak conferences with out getting their teams to the March madness dance.

I'm not a huge fan of Lemanis but the big difference is the vast majority of the Tall Blacks play and train together every day at the Breakers, the Boomers don't have that luxury.

There should be some big changes to the squad over the next year.

Not likely to see these guys who are now 32y.o or older.

Lisch
Newley
Kickert
Anderson

New guys(possible non NBA) to get an opportunity

Landale
Adel
Cooks
Moneke
Others...

We might've been in trouble last night if not for Nick Kay who's no doubt just bumped up his stock.

Looks like Creek isn't missing any quality basketball at this stage.

I would have thought DJ would make the All-NBL Boomers side.

Without Lisch's quarterbacking [to mix sports references], missing Creek to Europe and Hodgsons size - this isn't really a full strength All-NBL Boomers side anyway.

NZ approx 4.5 mil and Australia approx 24 mil

"don't worry Goulding, your hair's okay". did the mics pick up the solid gold heckle on Goulding in q1? I love you Cairns, don't ever change.

Manu, even less chance than there is that Cadee is better than Lisch! ;-)

LOL NBL all stars. Let me start the list of many that are well above on that list than this mob. No 1. DJ only Aussie in the All star 5. Check out NBL stats. And population of NZ V Australia is vastly disproportionate so NZ punchinh well above their weight. And they too have talent like Adams to come amongst others. Performed well last olympics again with reference to population. Aussies should never be in that kind of grief. Cue commentators ignoring impact of Aussies other than Goulding to had a few favoured calls due to his well practiced and fine tuned acting skills. Exhibit A the under arm dance on Terangi. For who he is he has not performed as well as others in the team.

What's the likelihood that Harry Froling is in the conversation for 2020 Olympics?

Cadee is way better than Lisch

Where is Lisch?

NZ saving their best tricks for the gold medal game

This is just textbook New Zealand. Competitive for the bulk but folds under pressure

This is a NZ loss not a Boomers win. They could take thw Gold from the Aussies

He was right to use it on that super soft whistle

Nick "Money" Kay

CG43 playing some nice D

:O

'Channel 7 switched channels without telling anyone'

They announced it pretty clearly

Lol, and you guys thought nbl referees are crap. These umps takes it to an all new level.

Cadee is useless. Martin would of made a play on the fast break.

Channel 7 switched channels without telling anyone,

Absolutely not, Too outdated, needs to be replaced

So does everyione still think this is the right coach

Agree Walker has performed in these games and the bench is giving more than starters. And yeah DJ would never sut this kind of game..... really he would be killing it out there

There he goes showing his true form and faking it to make it with that Academy award crap under Terangis arm. Loser ! Can’t perform without all his mates and home court calls around him. No respect forthat rubbish like he did with Peach years ago and then some.

Martin trying to do too much. Aussies look a mess atm.

why the F*!@ is gliddon and cadee starting?

Back in South Australia. Figure of speech.

NZ up 40-35 at half time and playing well.

Back in Australia?

LMFAO right now. Henare proving what we’ve all been saying about Lemanis. Can’t pick a balanced team or react to on court adjustments, no passion and so predictable. So wrong as an Aussie I am backing NZ but jus can’t being myself to supportthis team. LOL Goulding and Cadee. Even Norton better and he is a replacement. Meanwhile back in Australia DJ is sitting on the bench for Forestville with Simons as hs coach. What a waste and disgrace by BA. Thats it Lemanis bring back Cadee. Creeky made the right choice.

Whatever the line bet is for Australia (I assume it's still in the negatives), get on. We'll win this by double digits

Lol

Plus I'm the ref he swore at

Easy lip reading

It was pretty obvious - camera was pointing right at his face when he said it

I thought he might pull his head in in the green and gold but no

How do you know what he said?

Now Goulding, that's a real OG

Good to see Sobey get the tech.

"That's f***** bullshit" is what he said. Such a BAN

Sobey tooling it up again. Tech for swearing at a call he didn't like.

Ili vs Ca(no)dee is embarrassing

Wish I’d seen those odds earlier..

At $8 on Sportsbet it is hard to go past the Tall Blacks.

Good to hear Case and Gaze commentating. Looking forward to this on.
