JB, ALB and Dalton Papili. Will Jordan & Bladder close.
Voted for ALB as he was the least shit from 9-13
-
-
3 points Jordan because he did exactly what he is supposed to. Star
2 points TJP because he tried to put a hit on
1 Point Christie because he wasn't part of the shitshow

Blackadder and Papalii
Threw one to Retallick but not convinced I should have
What???? Our loose forwards got dominated. These two were completely ineffectual

Maybe their defence? Those two are probably one of the reasons we didn't lose by a lot more.

I have no idea.
Might give one to Jordan just for his try scoring rate alone.
Might give one to Rieko because of the shit he's copped in the thread and as I said he makes a lot of tackles.
Might go with JB although I think @profitius has hugely over egged it, he had an ok game (was guilty of a lot of the average kicking) not a fantastic one, but in the context of this game, and with no brain farts, ok is good enough to get a point.
Might go Akira to keep him on top of the ladder for the shitfights at end of the year and also that might cause the stats peeps to notice him.
Might not give any because fuck it all.

Alternatively they are the reason Ireland were rolling all day

I tend to think we have far bigger issues then our loose forwards at present.

Interesting, I didn't think they were terrible and thought they pretty much played what was in front of them. It is very hard to go forward when you don't have the ball. I don't think even a Goat, Read, Kaino trio would have changed the result today. Guess we will have to agree to disagree.

If you don't think one of those guys would have made a few game stopping hits, or had an influence at a few key breakdowns, thrn I can't help you.
I don't expect that level though, 3 all time greats. But our loose forwards are another significant symptom of the overall malaise.

@mariner4life I agree with you, I thought Akira, Jacobsen and Paps was our best trio this year and I would have preferred that, but unless the loose forwards can play in the backs there is only so much they can do.
The fact we couldn't exit our half and literally kicked away all the possession speaks more of the gameplan and wider issues with the backline then the inability of the loose trio to make an impact.
The fact it was almost impossible to select 3 players in today's poll tells us we got problems.
