Great first eight minutes

Okay rest of the first half

Absolutely terrible in the second half!

PNG will be rubbing their hands because we are simply average in our execution and fluidity.

A lot of disruption from changes to the playmakers has made it all a bit scrappy.


Agreed, on this occasion I think it'd be harsh to criticise the players too much as I have some sympathy with them given how much chopping and changing throughout the game has gone on.

What's our threequarters now?

W - Percival
C - Brown/McMeeken???
C - Bateman
W - Ratchford

A centre and FB/HB on the wings and two 2nd rowers/a HB in the centres. The lineup has become a mess from the first lot of substitutions.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Frederick Douglas

I think we have to conclude that we're just not capable of putting in an eighty minute performance. That is very concerning.
It's going to be tough in Port Moresby, I think we'll have enough but no one is going to be worried about playing us.

It looked like an England football friendly, throwing players in loads of different positions and making loads of changes.

First half good enough but the second half was poor. I think Bennett thinks he knows his best team but not many would agree with it.

Trouble is Brown and Gale are well known flat track bullies. They looked great here against a side that gave them space but will choke against any side with good line speed, so what to do with the threequarters is a really tough choice. I hoped williams would look good today , but he was probably our worst player. One thing for sure is that percival must play, and i would go with him and watkins in the centres with obviously hall and mcgillvary outside. I know one of them would have to take the centre position they are not used to in their club games, but better than playing can't pass, won't pass bateman there again.

As to 1, 6 and 7 that is a real problem.

Maybe a spell in prison would do Graham good.

At least he'd lose his virginity.

On a positive note, I think we've found the right spine:

Widdop
Brown
Gale
Roby
Flanders

Should start next week.

I think you are right but feel bennett will revert to a similar line up to the Australia game, with Roby on the bench and Widdop and Gale in the halves.

Brown will be terrible and go missing against better sides, just as he is at club level. Playing well against a sub-SL level French side does not mean he will be good against Tonga/NZ/Aus

"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround."

An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.

Hodgson will probably start and Lomax will be FB.

If PNG can stay in the game for 60 mins they have a real chance.
