| Quote Starbug="Starbug"Ref had a decent match, but no idea where he saw the forward pass to disallow the England try with 10 to go'"
Sorry Starbug, we were sat dead in line a few rows up and it was forward, without a doubt. The delayed reaction from the ref gave us hope he had missed it, I think he did, but the TJ saw it, unfortunately. |

Gildart off to Florida with Wigan first team tomorrow so i'm guessing he's missing from Friday's game.

| Quote melman="melman"Being honest they were generally ( better in all aspects) of the game.
We did not have a game plan, that became evident from quite early in the game. I know that the team did not have anything like the Aussies preparation, but whose fault is that?
=#FF0000Our scrum half was out of his depth and really was a very weak link for us, He ought to have opened the scoring for England but tried a short pass with the line at most ten yards away and a pretty clear run to it. He did not have the confidence to take the opportunity and that reflected throughout his game.
Another player that disappointed entirely was Gildarts wing partner who had nightmares with any high ball coming his way, terrible positioning sense and a pretty weak game overall, he was as someone else has said given a couple of awful balls from his centre for which he should be exonerated from the outcome of, but really he did seem the poorest player on the field, bar none.
Our F/B looked good and the centre's were as good as if not better than their aussie counterparts. =#FF0000WE looked better when Ward was off and the wigan lad was in at hooker,. Generally the forwards tried hard but were clearly second best throughout for the greater part the game.
I thought that we were definitely short changed by the coaching set-up, if there was any and did not really get going until it was too late, and that did not arise purely because penalties were awarded.'"
1) I thought the scrum half did o.k. and opened up the Aussies a few times, but was let down by Turgut dropping the ball twice, one of which resulted in Mitchell (what a player that lad is) going 80 metres to score
2) I've been mentioning Luke Waterworth for about three years now. He has the best passing game I have seen from an English hooker since Martin Dermott, I just don't know if he will ever be big enough. As you say it was no coincidence that the England backs appeared to get more space when he came onto the field. However that's not to decry Robbie Ward who pulled off a fantastic try saving tackle to deny the Aussies a try in the left hand corner. |

That's shown at 1:30 on the very short SLTV match video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMnomxb ... e=youtu.be
Commentators incorrectly said that Keyes put a short kick in. |

I thought that play had twice overran him but he passed anyway, the correct pass was certainly behind the runner at 1.30 on that clip imo

Well that pass to Turget was garbage and virtually uncatchable but let's not facts get in the way of putting blame on the wrong lad..  |

My opinion also. The Aussie line for once opened up and the S/Half should have taken the quickest way to the line, he had little or no reason to pass and did so with the receiving player to close to him and at the last moment.
IE, when the supporting player would be least expecting the pass and would, I believe, have adjudged that the player in possession was going to run with the ball for what was almost an open line. |

I had my ticket which for health reasons I cannot use so my brother is going to reward some lucky person with it, for tonights game.
I am disappointed at having to miss the match as I do think that with a few tweeks and a better, or even a game plan that England can pull it off.
Once again an English side showed an Oz one too much respect. They never backed down but did not play with a lot of fervour over and above containment for too much of the game.
The left winger and S/Half should be changed and the S/Off needs to take more authority on himself with the ball in hand.
But it should be a really enjoyable game whatever the result.
PS: does anyone know if there will be anything to view on tonights game?
