Kiwis now in off-season
Newstalk ZB - November 8, 2009, 1:23 pm
The off-season has started a week early for the Kiwis league team. They have missed out on the Four-Nations final after losing 20-12 to England in their last round-robin match in Huddersfield this morning.
Kiwis' captain Benji Marshall says the loss was a combination of their inadequacies and England's prowess. Marshall says England played them out of field position and did to the Kiwis what they were supposed to do to them.
Marshall says he has to take some of the blame for the loss because he clearly did not have his best game.

Poms deserved to win fair & square... New Zealand need to give England the Support they showed us in the World Cup final.
it was a french referee bobnewald, the boys had no desire we never got off the team bus looking at our performance.
n.z. versus great britain an english referee certainly somebody on the kiwis management should be crucified but nevertheless to win you must control the football and be prepared to tackle for 40 minutes and then again for another40 minutes the poms showed us how to play total commitment across the ...
i think the next 4 nations we will be a hell of a lot stronger .due to injuries we had this time round not making excuses.,that was as strong as the poms will get they had no injuries.why is it our players are always injured when the international comps come round
The kiwis did not show any vision or flair. It was cart the bal up, the same miss plays, and kicks that went astray. Very disappointing.
