    @nzzp this and more. Reappointing a guy ahead of a planned review smacks of arrogance and dodginess.
    If the review had been done at the agreed time Foster probably would have been gone after the 2021 EOYT.

    Yep 2 right. he should be long gone. The board should be cleared out also for total incompetence. How did Robinson even get the job on the board? Unbelievable !!

        First half:

        A lot of mistakes from both sides.

        AB kicking game good but over done.

        Backs look sharp on attack, but forwards (aside from Barrett) not having much impact in close.

        de Groot really bad. Penalty machine who does nothing when it comes to cleaning or carrying.

          Given the red card danger should Jordan be dumped? And which loosie will they fly in? Finau or Ethan B? I'm guessing the latter for his utility?

                @KiwiMurph
                To be fair Barrett was at first receiver inside our 22 most of the time,but Mounga did do it as well,
                Barrett was at first receiver a lot from broken play and defensive situations and generally kicked poorly.

                  Really bad missed tackle from Taylor at 46 mins in.

                    France didn't play as well as SA
                    Basic handling errors hurt us.
                    Pleased with some of the long defensive kicks.
                    Start ST. Roigard bench TL will make a difference. DMac 15
                    Biggest challenge this team faces now is leadership and confidence

                          51 minutes in Barrett shanks it into touch, then beaten to the kick.

                                ABs did quite well to stay in it for most of the game. Ultimately they don't have the forward pack to put pressure on the defence, nor to force turnovers with big tackles.

                                Kicked way too much in the last 20. Needed to take risks on counter attack.

                                Jordan is pretty thick ...
