It's ok, he's only a kiwi...it's not like he's an actual human being.

Aside from looking for an argument, it was only a friendly and it was an aggressive tackle...he knows it, but it's against New Zealand...it would have been more inexcusable if he had failed to make the tackle tbh.

Many of the A team roo's were off there game last nite due to Pims hard training sessions they were all knackered hence the poor play and mistimed rash tackles, Not that that justifies butchering the sheep shaggers who played nobley and well and deserved more than they got out of the game. Don't underestimate our ANZAC brothers whom I think can certainly give the Slovaks and the Paras a hard time at the WC. I would perform the haka on the bastards before the game and watch them shit themselves!!

Aussies, you were lucky he wasn't sent off, for if he was you would have surely lost that game playing with a man down, even more so if Timmy Cahill had also recieved the correct punishment his chellenge warranted.

'probably not needed in a friendly' Grella you are a spanner! That tackle was not required in any game!!!! Red mist is a disease of the ageing pro who lacks speed, discipline and intelligence. You are sending a poor message to younger players in the squad and maybe now a liability to the squad. We will struggle with 11 players let alone 10.......

We have enough liabilities arleady with Verbeek, Moore, etc involved in the squad.

The message being sent to youngsters are the least of our worries.

Grella CANNOT go to SA in that mental state. Played poorly, awful aggressive tackle - his time is over. Besides watching him at club level he has been terrible lately anyway, I'm surprised he even made the initial squad.

Grella, man the f*ck up and admit you lost the plot and that should NEVER happen.

I think the future is bright for our boys, the new generation will be good if they are given time. 2014/1018 Quarted Finals will be the target. With so many players going to the Dutch League and Turkey etc plus our league getting better we can be happy and excited for the new generation.

Hahaha if I was the coach id say that to him any normal bastard would

Someone needs to take him aside and tell him to smarten up, for sure. He'll probably be given another chance, and he deserves that much when he's been such a fantastic player for australia over the years.

Also wasn't impressed with Tommy Oar's challenge on Nelsen. No attempt at the ball. That toe-rag doesn't deserve to be on the same pitch as Nelsen let alone be doing that. Aside from being a low tactic, it's cheap, worthy of a booking, and disrespectful in a way.
