Sinfield, Smith and Mcguire

lolol

Lets hope Smith sees sense and drops all 3. McGuires performance was probably the worst I have seen by an englishman in an international

How on earth you get an international gig when you cant even pass to your right ala, McGuire and Sinfield is beyond me

Sinfield played well.

And had England had a bit of luck and posted another score with 7 or 8 minutes left then would they have just "switched back on"?
England got on the front foot from word go second half and the Australians demonstrated how difficult it is to make yards out of your 22 and get a good kick in (just like England found it in the first half).
The Aussies got the bounce of every ball in the first half - yes they have the personell to take advantage, but that did flatter their lead.

You have proven yourself a fool so many times, yet still you have more to give. Commendable effort.

Perhaps if they felt they needed to they would have.

Thurston's sin-binning by Ganson came out of the wide blue yonder. How was that deserving of a binning, it wasn't even deserving of a penalty given the way the game had been refereed to that point.

Does Ganson have an issue with Thurston?

Are you suggesting Ganson was showing "bias"?

I think Thurston was making the age old mistake of winding Ganson up by continually gobbing off - either to him in back play. Hardly surprising that Steve got the card out really was it? An accumulation of several incidents and then Thurston decides to slow down play near the Aussie line.
Yellow.

Yellow for an accumulation of Thurston whinging away in the background perhaps but not for that incident. When Ganson blew the whistle I expected it to be Smith penalised rather than Thurston.

I expect the referee to be bigger than settling his petty sqwabbles in that manner.

He is what he is. You don't mouth off to him, everyone knows what happens. If it had been an England player we would be criticising the England player for being so stupid.

He didn't yellow card him for mouthing off though. He yellow carded him for basically nothing.

Thurston was Ganson's victim today.

I think it was Ellis??? mentioned they played to a specific defensive pattern first half ??? which they then dropped for the second.

To sub Tom Briscoe was laughable as all 26 points were down to Smith and Mcguire's defence in my opinion.

Then i suggest you watch the game again!!!

I appologise. 22.
