The ref let the game flow, what more do you want, if he'd blown the pea out of it, you'd still be whinging, he gave both teams every chance to show their wares, yet, we still have all this butt hurt whinging, sad

He gave Aus a penalty that lead to a try in the first half when he let the same thing flow the other way three times.

He gave Aus a scrum for a knock-on when the tackler pulled Gerry down twice after the tackle was complete which stopped our flow.

He gave Aus a penalty that was kicked when it was a loose carry.

Toddle off. Next world cup in 4 years?

See you then, you can crawl out of your cave and masturbate over pommy whingeing again.

We've now had 12 loses against the Aussie with the same old comments of "lots of positives to take from the game".

Anyone ever going to turn all the positives into an actual win?

What on Earth has Heighington done to justify his selection? I could think of a dozen average SL players who could take his role in the squad.

“I don’t care”... but come on the game thread and reply to every post

Luke 'it's all about me' Gale didn't really do much.

He was only a touch better than his invisible man 'performance' in the Grand Final.

agree with Shaul but at the risk of going over old ground i can't help thinking Sneyd would have been a good partner for widdop - leave him to do most of the the kicking and let widdop use his running game more. hope they will at lease look at this potential partnership in the next couple of years

It's certainly something to look at in the future. I agree that Widdop is better when he has someone doing the organising and kicking. Would imagine that this would be a last hurrah for some of the players.

Trouble is international rugby is so random that we might only get 1 or 2 tournaments before the next rugby world cup to try out these combinations. And you can't really just turn up at the WC without some previous experience of them playing together. And hope it turns out well.
