We have no dominant tacklers other than Cane out there.
That's the problem with this pack.
@akan004 edit Akira was tackling well. SB was ok

I might be lynched here but I thought Weber was miles better in his instant cameo than TJP. He could actually pass at speed and to a player.

@nostrildamus TJP really really cost us with headless chook play right on half time when we were on attack.

He just need to pass Was so selfish

That is why I never shell out to watch the ABs when they're over here. They pretty much always play shit in Brisbane. Shocking record. Even the 1988 team only managed a draw!
So I'm not going to lose my shit and I'm more "meh, flush dunny and move on".
....except when it comes to TJP. Christ he was horrible. What the hell was with that quick tap and kick? Bring back TTT.

We found our 6, our gap at 9, our gap at 12, and 14.
Even Bridge >Reece.
Wonder if Cane is beaten up but tried all night.
I thought Rieko was really good in defense, was oten isolated but that may have been because he is so darn fast and back up was patchy.
I know people are saying ALB/JG but if they play JG/ALB I think I would prefer ALB/RI!
Oh and the NL/ALB was a complete misfire tonight. Is NL matchfit? -

Lynched? You'll get a HJ.

ABs haven't had any midfield penetration since Rieko at 13 in the first test.
I'm really annoyed by putting Laumape in the squad. He's just so far off test level. He has running straight and that's it. He gets dominated and isolated at test level, and his distribution is genuinely terrible.
@Tim Reiko needs to learn how to pass the ball before he gets anywhere near that AB 13 jersey again. Leave him on the wing where he belongs.

Lol, his passing game is very good.

This is the real problem with the ABs game play of just punishing on the counter, when forced to change plan it’s hard to suddenly try and take control of the game, slow it down, play for territory etc
Some of these guys just have the rugby smarts to change from fast and loose everyone can one hand offload to traditional roles etc
I disagree. We held the ball and scored from it early.
Then we decided that we didn’t want to play that way. Went back to kicking it away and trying to play off turnovers. And?
If the question is whether it’s coaching, selection, or player decisions, I think the answer is yes.

Fuck yeah
We started that game, after their bloody clever try, by twice going through 20 plus phases of smart disciplined ball retention. It was fucking fantastic with props not pop passing, holding the ball, percentage ruck and run. Like great decisions being made by each ball carrier.
I loved it! Remarked that it was as good as I've seen for a bit, and surely a portent for something clinical to follow.
Like fuck

@Kirwan he doesn’t pass the ball though that’s the problem.
Umaga Jensen is a better centre anyway.

That’s actually what I was saying, when we did keep the ball and play with it we scored...but didn’t keep doing it, started throwing it around, anyone anywhere in the line, kicking it away and hoping for a mistake
