Think that's harsh. DH was never a controlling playmaker, but he does the little things right and his defence, previously impeccable, had dropped off, but, that has visibly improved of late. He was very good last night. You mention international recognition as the yardstick by which he is judged, so then, by your judgement, Clifford is poor, as he has been nowhere near an Origin squad, let alone an international cap. Dwyer, while occasionally box office, scares me to death a lot of times, his decision making is, at times, very poor and he seems to make spur of the moment plays, especially on the last tackle, which only he can read and which have been poor and cost us territory .
Taylor was excellent again and another player whose improvement is visibly evident .
Australia has a far bigger pool of players that comparison is just ridiculous and Houghton fan boy clutching at straws
Clifford is 25 and already played in the PM 13 game
Even when Houghton "won man of steel" he still couldn't get an international call up
