@Nepia no he didn't
Yes he did I watched thirty four times in slow mo, normal speed and fast speed. 😉
I saw a slow motion replay where I thought a finger stayed on the ball but not 100 percent sure ,
Poor technique though , no need for the ball to seperate from the body, go down with it
-
We were lucky to draw that, Oz the better, more organised team.
Reiko will get rightly criticised for a sloppy grounding, but that is not the main problem tonight.
Mounga was awful, same with Bridge, TJ and many others. We were good at times in the forwards and the backs just pissed it away.

Imagine an All Black team in this game with a backrow Cane didn't have to carry for 70mins.

Yeah shit technique, no argument with that.

@Kiwiwomble Nonsense. Our fringe defence was garbage and Australia made big gains down the blindside all day. Frizzell is a clear weakness.

Apart from his grounding he was quite incisive
-
@Kiwiwomble true but our problems in general are at 6 and 8 where her plays, and also with the head coach.

@Gunner Clarke only played 15 mins, he was good but not that good and his cock up off the post almost cost us the game
He was a hell of a lot better than the innocuous placeholder he replaced.

Smith and Cane were class, the rest of the starters the usual mixed bag.
This is what the team is with most of the security blankets from 18-19 (Beaudy magic, Ben Smith at the back, Rettalick having a monster) out of the mix.
We have very few world class players.

Paps or Grace has to come in for Frizell and Hoskins for Ardie.

I thought most of the backline was a much bigger weakness than the loosies, frizell had more tackles than cane at half time

I don't think he was terrible, but neither do I think he added much.
Pur forwards were not any harder than last year. And that was substandard
Cane is gutted. Easily our best today.

Absolutely.

Caleb Clark nailed down a starting position in my opinion , so strong
He nailed down a starting position before the test started. Picking Bridge ahead of him is just braindead bullshit. There's a lot of daylight between those two players.
Worse still they paired Bridge up with DMac and Jordie. We had no variety and no real power in our back three.
