Quote moving on...="moving on..."The problem/difference lies in the halves. You could have put Hill and Graham at 6 and 7 and you wouldn't notice. for all of Gale's swagger, mouth and cockiness, when its comes to the crunch he's a $*******e. Brown looks good to average and if it wasn't for Widdop we'd have no flow in attack at all.'"
spot on, the one defence splitting pass in the Tonga game came from James Graham. Some of Gales kicks were laughable and I mean that literally, a kick that made you laugh.
He kicked one from his own 40 and it went high and landed on the Tongan 40..!! a twenty yard kick and hope at international level.
Just ONE kick landed in the in goal area to earn us a repeat set.... Ive seen Thurston do that 3 times on the bounce in a game.... its standard skills for an international... Gale is not that neither is Brown.
Sadly Matty Smith would have been the only option over those two.
We can expect to be continually pegged back on our line by quality kicks from Cronk Smith and Morgan, and wont be able to get out of our half due to good Aussie Defence and poor England kicks that wont have any distance to relieve pressure.
I don't think this is a game for Bateman or Currie but unfortunately we have no other options..... its a truly poor state of affairs/
I'm just glad we are in the Final, but we dont stand a chance..... and I dont think this is a great Aussie side either.
