@Chris No he hasn't. Made a try saver on the line and a strip on d and has been strong on d in tandem with Papalii and Ardie.
I guess some people would rather see us lose to get their favorites on board instead of putting their agendas aside to get behind the team.

How good has Lomax been?

Nope isolated and gave away a penalty 2 soft grab tackles that got busted through .
And was a fan of picking Akira before the RC but he is not deserving atm.

@Old-Samurai-Jack Really has taken his opportunity with both hands.

Better than last week too.
Good to see a few of the boys who struggled a bit last week step up.

@Chris I recently posted that I think Akira is on his last legs. But he’s done nothing wrong in this game. I think we expect him to play like he did against Australia a couple years ago but it seems to me he’s been asked to play a tight game and I think if you look at some of his tackles him and Papallii have been forcing opposition backwards. I have expressed that I wish he would run more direct lines and with pace but I’m not coaching him. So you can ask the Ryan why this is not happening. And then when he makes a run and no one there to clean out the tacklers so what gives?

Missed 4 tackles, made 7.
You almost need a distinction in missed tackles, clear one on one misses like DeGroot this week and Jordan last week that almost lead to tries are much worse than the slide off or when there is cover.

Good chat Scott....

Difference of opinion then what about the two weak grab tackles not what I expect from a AB 6

@Tim Jordan is much better, yes. Clarke hasn't added much.
What do you think mate? Is Jordie a step up from Havili?
