Was this Australia's best win at this year's RLWC?

With the Kangaroos through to yet another Rugby League World Cup Final, Corey Parker believes the side is peaking at the right time, having delivered their best win to date last Sunday.

Throughout the pool stage, there were plenty of doubts surrounding Australia despite going undefeated in their three games.

In those matches, they had just gotten by a New Zealand side that was better in most key metrics and a Fijian team that held their own and led throughout parts of the first 50 minutes of their match.

But as the Kangaroos got more game time during the tournament, they have continued to improve, having demolished the Cook Islands in their final Pool A clash before a big 44-12 win against Samoa in the semi-finals to qualify for the final, with the 13-time Australian representative calling their result their best of their campaign so far.

“Depending on who you ask, Kevvie (Walters) sort of had the feathers ruffled up a little bit,” Parker told SENQ Breakfast.

“But you can only go by the evidence we've seen, and by far that was their best performance.

“What we saw last night, particularly from the middles, Patty Carrigan and also Big Tino (Fa'asuamaleaui), I thought they were terrific, their best game of the tournament and sort of no real surprise when the middles do what they do, all the other boys can certainly finish.”

SEN’s Kick Off co-host Jimmy Smith was also complimentary of the Kangaroos, with a particular focus on the improvement in Harry Grant’s game.

“(Keaon) Koloamatangi was outstanding in his first stint, and so as a result of that, this is a point that you made last week, Brandy, around we'd never seen Harry Grant be so ineffectual,” Smith explained.

“But because he's got some games under his belt now and that comes back to that tournament play just when we needed him in a semi-final, he plays well, Cameron Munster plays his best game, Tommy Dearden was outstanding, and Reece Walsh was lethal.”

Australia and New Zealand will battle it out for the title of World Champions on Sunday night at Suncorp Stadium.

SEN League will have live coverage of the final on our radio network and on the SEN app from 7pm AEDT, with kick-off taking place at 7:35pm.
