Who is to blame?

Nick Berry made it the referee show very early on - along with some selective decisions at times.
Scott Barrett deserves a kick up the bum
Foster for not backing in the reserves early enough
The AB-collectively played dumb.
Beaudy will get a clip in the media, but I don't think having RM would've made a difference. BB did some good things, Jordie was still available to be a second playmaker & kicker.
I would've subbed off Sevu Reece instead of Akira in hindsight - it became a bit attritional in the end - Akira would've offered more plus had we know Australia would lose their 6, it would've made that forward battle interesting.
I blame Australia for being Australia -

I just saw the result.
Who do you blame? Let it out, don't hold back. It doesn't even have to be rational
Without even watching the game i blame Foster and TJP
Should have locked the thread after this lead-off post

I blame the Wobblies for scoring more points

Foster and leadership for not reverting back to plan once it evened up.
This.
We were actually playing quite well up until the RC. It was a funny loose style but it was working and looked like a plan.
After the Red we obviously tried to change things up and not everyone was in tune. Should have adjusted back after the 14 on 14 happened but got sucked into trying to do crazy shit at 14 on 13.
The reffing was frustrating. Not helped by hometown replays and TMO strangeness. It was the inconsistency that got me. At one point TJ was coat-hangered after a kick through (or at least taken out) but no reaction at all from officials. Some of the 'not supporting' calls were extremely subjective and wouldn't have been called by other refs.

We were out-passioned, out-coached and lacked onfield leadership. We choked. It’s Suncorp...
Nah, it just wasn’t our night!

This is actually pretty near spot on.
TJP was the worst player on the field and Foster refused to sub him for 77 minutes.

Okay I've just watched skinny Ioane carry on after a try, and he's heading for the top of the list.
And he did his stupid put-down again. Did he have a bad experience actually touching the ground as a kid?
If he bombs another try because he drops it in this fashion, does he get dropped for good?

Funniest comment so far.

Why do people hate Weber so much? I thought he was good and his cameo far too brief!

Cos he was terrible in SR. His passing was inaccurate and he took a lot of bad options. Had a much better game in the North v South, was good last night too and should have come on a lot earlier. But I still wouldn't be confident if he started a test.

His % of stuffing up tries with that put down must be under 1% yet he gets more shit in this place than Scott of the Barretts who has basically caused us to lose two matches to the Wallabies through a red card and yellow card (and lose to England but even I don't blame him for that stupid selectorial decision).

Both the tries he's scored since he dropped that one he's still done the one-handed put-down.
Where's John Mitchell's attention to the thumb grip when we need it?!!

Yep, he’s not a quick learner on that one

That’s why Weber made my MOTM selections. The difference in those 3 minutes was profound.
