We have to swap Hodgson for Clark
and
Swap anyone with Joel Tompkins.

Cronk showing Smith a master class in kicking.

If this is given we have got out of jail big time.

That is theft

If that was Greg inglis finger on that ball, it would have been awarded

Re: Aus Vs. Eng : Sun Nov 02, 2014 7:02 am  

I am actually at loss as to how that was not given. Would have been the luckiest try I've ever seen, but Hall played for the ball and he had his fingers on the ball in the in goal area - that's a try...

It REALLY irks me that they would go to the video ref to make use of the slow motion technology and then make a decision based on it at full speed...

Re: Aus Vs. Eng : Sun Nov 02, 2014 7:04 am  

The downward pressure rule has already become farcical and if that had been given we might as well take it out of the rules. There is no way on gods earth he got downward pressure on that, and only the most one-eyed Englishman would say he did.

But it should have been irrelevant. England were tactically abysmal in the second half and all our key players went AWOL.

Re: Aus Vs. Eng : Sun Nov 02, 2014 7:05 am  

We are out imo.
No way will we be at NZ after that game and them having a day extra rest.

Well played the England lads, but McNamara get a taxi, out thought by a coach with no big ammunition.
Why take Clark off the goon?

Re: Aus Vs. Eng : Sun Nov 02, 2014 7:06 am  

His finger is bent on the ball, it's a try.

Anyone but an Aussie gives that.

Blatant cheating.

Re: Aus Vs. Eng : Sun Nov 02, 2014 7:07 am  

That was a try. The replay clearly showed that. Downward pressure applied. We need to play for 80 mins next week or the kiwis will do the same as what's happened today.
Elliott Whitehead for Joel Tomkins surely. I'd go with Joe Burgess instead of charnley as well. Charnley offers nothing at this level. Hall shows that a world class winger can create something out of nothing.
