One thing that I've not seen discussed (probably has elsewhere) is JP & the captain issue. I think only the myopic would claim JP doesn't lead by example, however after Saturday I am convinced he cannot handle the communication side of it. The incident that stood out was where the 3 English players drove Lance Hohaia (little sh/t) back over the line. The legitimacy of the tackle is another issue, but the ref's treatment of the incident with little sh/t banging the ball into Wilkin's face (I can see the attraction) was pathetic. JP knew this but he seemed so caught up in the inequity of it he coudn't even speak & looked like he was about to cry. Farrell or Sculthorpe, talents aside, would have been straight in the ref's face.
