Too many mistakes and at critical times.
Our new "winger" with 2 horrible errors although, he was a very effective runner and nothing at all from our new "centre".
Our kicking game was awful, again and their halves are on a different level and why dont we go with Clark at 9.

Ken Mamaulo was the best player on show over the two games.
Beast of a player.

Ken Maumalo was the Dally M Winger of 2019.

"Look, I'd never use injuries as an excuse..." Daryl Powell:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23603.jpg



Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "The try by Joshua Hodgson showed the wisdom of Wayne Bennett's selection of the Canberra hooker.

People need to stop the Wayne Bennett bashing. The former policeman is in the Clint Eastwood mould, and he certainly knows what he is doing.'"


There are clear parallels. Eastwood is also 89 and the punks are doubtless much luckier than was once the case.

Thankyou for correcting my spelling on Kenneth's surname.
Just to let you know that you spelt Steven McNamara's surname incorrectly on another thread.
The Mc is devoid of an 'a'.

Our tactics and style of play has been APPALLING!

We haven’t played with any intensity in any of the three first halves we’ve played.

We are eye wateringly boring to watch.

The tactics this morning when we were camped on the Kiwi line for three sets, where our half backs were not involved until the final play of each set and we just gave the ball to our forwards to run in and run in and run in at the line, has to be a sackable offence on its own for Bennett.

Absolutely TERRIBLE!

Get Bennet OUT... NOW!

He’s the most boring and one dimensional player in the squad. Arguably been the least effective player on the tour. He doesn’t do anything to attract defenders before making a pass, all of his teammates hang back when he gets to dummy half because they just expect a straight up pass from DH or three steps and a pass. We are never on the front foot when he’s on the pitch. He’s a safe, consistent, boring, ineffective player.

He doesn’t create space, he doesn’t attack space, he doesn’t create panic, he doesn’t create confusion as the defence know exactly what he’s going to do, he doesn’t create positive play. He’s just safe.

Which is why the use of Clark is inexcusable

And how many points did we score with Roby in the WC final team? What a difference Clark made today also, right? Or maybe it’s just the poor players around him? Another one who only watches SL.

Same as always, our hb pairings are weak in comparison to the teams down under along with most of the back line.

I've see Hodgson's entire career, everything about him has always been average. slow passes from DH, never runs from DH, and is no more than an OK defender.
He's been excellent for Canberra, but at the highest level, his average skill set gets exposed.
Clark's 20 minutes last week was better than anything Hodgson has ever produced at this level.

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid. Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal. Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif



It’s not like we didn’t expect it.

2 scoots, 2 drives and a ballsup on the last, we’ve had that all your.

His negative tactics makes me want to take out my eyeballs and grate them with a Parmesan cheese grater.

Rugby League is in a state of flux, we are in the entertainment business whereas the coaches are in the results business and one cannot be sacrificed for the sake of the other.

I’ve followed rugby league since the age of 6 and I live my life my it but SL and the international games are turning me off. I’d much rather watch a game from 15 years ago where there was skill, passion and intensity in every international.

Our forwards worked hard, they are grafters, however with the exception of Bateman, theres no aggression. If NZ want to employ Maguire tactics at the ruck, it's down to the GB forwards to prevent them doing it. Where have all the nut cases gone?

You can have both. They are not mutually exclusive.

Losing a test match isn't a criminal offense but there is a way to lose and the way GB have lost the last 3 test matches has been nothing short of terrible.

NZ didn't have to work hard for the win today. Their defensive line was barely challenged. Throwing the ball around just for the sake of it isn't what people want but it's not too much to ask for some actual ball movement, clever lines being run and two half backs who are allowed to actually take a risk.

Playing centre for GB/England is pointless as you won't get the ball.

There was an example where GB got a scrum 20 metres out and one would think they would actually have a set play to attack from such an advantageous position but no, nothing.

All coaches need to be put on alert that 5 drives and a kick isn't cutting it. I don't know what it's like at Jnr levels but one has to ask the question on why does this county fail to produce genuine world class halfbacks and fullbacks?
