Same old story, Australia just asphyxiate the game by excellent kicking, late and early, with ours being predictable and lacking.

poms are doing ok scrambling in defence, whilst their defence has been poor in midfield, they are desperately getting to the tackle close to the line

I suspect that they won't be able to keep it up though, Australia look rusty, they should run away with it if they can get some rhythm

The other thing is they are used to a rest every five minutes for a penalty. 1 penalty in a half is unheard of in Super League.

They also play more games. Kallum Watkins is playing his 33rd game today. The player with the most apperances in the Australia team this season (Morgan) is playing his 27th.

We seriously need to tackle this stupid idea that Super League clubs cannot be sustainable businesses unless they flog their players to the brink.

Key difference as always is that despite our so called strong pack, as the game gets going the Aussie pack dominates them, we tire and fall apart.

He wouldn't be any better because our pack isn't getting them on the foot.

Maybe but Gale has a track record of going missing in big games, Sneyd won back to back Lance Todds due to his excellent kicking game.
