@Chris No he hasn't. Made a try saver on the line and a strip on d and has been strong on d in tandem with Papalii and Ardie.
I guess some people would rather see us lose to get their favorites on board instead of putting their agendas aside to get behind the team.

Nope isolated and gave away a penalty 2 soft grab tackles that got busted through .
And was a fan of picking Akira before the RC but he is not deserving atm.

What was the free kick against Taylor for? Did he take a step to the right? That was about as unusual as the Foley call last week.

@Old-Samurai-Jack Really has taken his opportunity with both hands.
-
Gotta say the D was good in that half to hold them to zero, they had plenty of time in our 22.

Better than last week too.
Good to see a few of the boys who struggled a bit last week step up.

@Chris Don’t know him but you’re gushing over him which I don’t understand.
Not gushing mate I just think he does the hard yards better than Akira and can see why the picked him.
I wouldn’t have picked him but hey he did a good job when they bought him in.@Chris I recently posted that I think Akira is on his last legs. But he’s done nothing wrong in this game. I think we expect him to play like he did against Australia a couple years ago but it seems to me he’s been asked to play a tight game and I think if you look at some of his tackles him and Papallii have been forcing opposition backwards. I have expressed that I wish he would run more direct lines and with pace but I’m not coaching him. So you can ask the Ryan why this is not happening. And then when he makes a run and no one there to clean out the tacklers so what gives?

Missed 4 tackles, made 7.
You almost need a distinction in missed tackles, clear one on one misses like DeGroot this week and Jordan last week that almost lead to tries are much worse than the slide off or when there is cover.

Good chat Scott....

Difference of opinion then what about the two weak grab tackles not what I expect from a AB 6

@Tim Jordan is much better, yes. Clarke hasn't added much.
What do you think mate? Is Jordie a step up from Havili?

Taylor needs to go.
Lineout is too easy to read.

@chimoaus not to mention if the man that was supposed to make the tackle, doesn't it is then the second line which cops it as they might be sliding right and have to jink back left to try cover.the hole

Our link game hasn’t been working as well. We are creating space and making metres through line breaks but we need to be smarter with the ball and in space

He's basically sealed the deal to start the next couple of tests I reckon. So much more composure with him there
