No subs at half time? What is Arnie expecting to see from duke that he doesn't already know? And Leckie WTF. Cummings and Kuol should be there

That's because Arnie has got most of his squad inked in and he is using this as a practice game for them, not to have a serious look at other options

You can see Arnie's thinking. The 22 who started over the 2 games are on the plane with the exception of today's CBs who will be replaced by Souttar and Kye if fit.

Throw in Rogic, Goodwin and Langerak and there is only one spot left. Knowing Arnie, he is probably thinking Kenny Dougall rather than Kuol

There was one mention of the Australia Cup Final the whole broadcast, at the end as a sign off by the presenter. Why didn't Ten pull out all the stops to cross promote? Even Fox used to manage that.

I'd punt Sains and take Deng

Deng has a great game and your right he should have just punted someone.

Souttar isn't back playing for Stoke yet, I fear he is a non starter for the WC.

I heard one earlier.

I heard one earlier.

I must of missed it, but even then, there was no big promo of it. No flashy video hyping it up. Surely today's game was the perfect spot for it.

He should be on the plane for the publicity alone.

Aus v NZ should become an annual two-game series match up a bit like the Bledisloe Cup I reckon.

If Arnie is still the Aussie coach, it could be called the Bloodyslow Cup…..

I’ll get my coat

From Arnie's post-match. Q: "What does Cummings bring to the squad?"

"Laughter. He's mental!"

Both given minimal time in that game, part of me feels Arnie does not like being pressured and JC and Garanski had an unprecedented amount of Media coverage for this camp. The problem for Arnie is they both performed. Playing Duke for 60 odd minutes didn’t make sense, JC should’ve at least been given a full half. Kuol I understand as he hasn’t started a competitive game and if he goes he will be only used as a sub with X factor. JC still a big long shot in my opinion.

Agree with all that. JC needs to start the season strong and really make his case. Could be an extra bit of motivation for the squad to try to get him over the line.
