I didn't assume that at all. And of course they kept using the kicking option when it worked. |

The last 20 minutes was some of the best rugby I have seen live since the first 20 in 2004. Lockyear stepped up the gas and the rest is history.
It reminded me of the 2007 GF - where Saints hung on for 50 minutes until the floodgates opened and the best side simply destroyed their opponents'"
Completely agree he and thurston had so much time and various options on every tackle in our half.
At one point it was as though they had 17 players on the field at the same time such were the over-laps and dummy runners in motion. |

I actually thought that around 50-60 mins Australia looked to have really lost compsoure / ideas. they were throwing the ball left to right, and back with little or no stucture. Reminded me of leeds in headless chicken mode

Agreed
and the accidental injury to Shenton allowed them to refocus / regroup but we sadly seemd to do the opposite. |

England's inability to hold a lead for any length of time really cost them in that department.
Couple of times they went in front only to then concede and be behind again the next five minutes, removing the opportunity to put more mental pressure on the Australians.
And is it just me, or did England's entire attacking and defensive structure fall apart around their ears when Roby came into the game, late in both halves? |

We certainly didn't look as organised with him on the field. |

NO its not just you...moving Sinfield away from the AHB was a disaster, What Smith should have done is send on a runner to kick the 2 halfbacks up the @rse  |

A few of England's supposed young "stars" had the deficiencies in their games cruelly exposed unfortunately. Whether they have the drive and enthusiasm to correct those deficiencies now they have "made it" will decide whether they become great players or simply good ones. |

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

The ones who realise the way to compete is to play against them week in week out will be the ones who really improve - Ellis is a far better player than he was a year ago - that is the way forward
Roby will be spending another year as a bit player whilst Cunningham tops his pension up - as for Tomkins he will have to have more in his armoury than a simple step off his left foot and his defence - McGuire got a lot of justified critisism but if you use the same criteria then Tomkins cannot avoid similar. As for Eastmond - was he on the field - one speculative kick aside he contributed almost nothing. |

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

Couple of good moments, but other than that I agree. Infact I actually thought Westwood had a better series. |

Some of the play in the last 20 was sensational, the backline almost unplayable - mind you having Bridge and Fox together was a tactical shambles.'"
Just for the record, Anaconda's don't chew, or spit. |

I'm not even going to ask what you have been trying to do with an Anoconda to find that out. |
