@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.

@Kiwiwomble Nonsense. Our fringe defence was garbage and Australia made big gains down the blindside all day. Frizzell is a clear weakness.
Paps or Grace has to come in for Frizell and Hoskins for Ardie.

@Kiwiwomble true but our problems in general are at 6 and 8 where her plays, and also with the head coach.
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.

Exactly why I was worried about the safety first selections. We have gone backwards since 2019.

Because they were all out of position

Not arguing with that

Ofa doesn't surprise me. To the naked eye he's trying to smash every tackle he makes, meaning he's missing a few. Needs to pick his moments rather than always look for thr big shot
Look at that Sam cane coloured egg all over shark's face
