@hydro11 youll happily vote for Cane who knocked on at the end I see.

Knock ons happen. SBW chose a terrible option. I can get over mistakes - dumb passes, kicks and penalties are tougher to deal with.

Was it a terrible option? He was chipping ahead for Ioane, who we would back for pace..
His offload leading to Ioane's try was high risk, but when it came off it was amazing..
If the grubber came off, people would be lauding SBW for his array of skills.

I went with SBW, Read and Cane.

@mimic in the space and traffic he had, was a very low % option, but agree, had it come off, it woulda been the right one, but it didnt and is now seen as a shit option.

You might, I wouldn't. I hated the praise Garden-Bachop got for his stupid chip kick the other week.

@hydro11 the fortuitous one off the cross bar? Was under penalty advantage so had nothing to lose I guess.

I guess you weren't a fan of Goldie who used to do it and seemed like he had the ball on a string.

SBW had a really good game, I gave him a MOTM vote and he didn't cost us the game, but the grubber in their 22 in the final minutes when we were only 2 points behind was an incredibly low percentage option. Very hard to justify.

Fair enough. Didn't actually realise that.

[ARHS]

Cane, Read, Williams

Everyone made mistakes at times, but those 3 did more than the rest to get us in a position we could win from.

that's a bit different. wilson was generally at full pace with one man in front of him when he did it - and if it wasn't on, he had no problem taking contact. as an option for wilson it was reasonably good percentage-wise, and he was very well-practised at it.
sbw's biggest flaw has always been trying too much on his own. trying low-percentage hero plays. despite a good game, he did it again.
