That was the 3rd game in a row that Lockers shouldn't have played in. Gildart has improved so much since playing on the right compared to his indifferent start to the season, its always rewarding to see a player come good after some adversity.

Thought he went pretty well today and challenged the Kiwis defence a number of times. He kept things pretty simple and ran the clock down late on finding touch on a few occasions. He was defensively very sound as usual.

He’s no Jordan Lilley though.

Youre right there!

He's not wrong though is he

I didn't notice as I got a phone call during the game, How many minutes did Lockers play?

9ish.

Yes & your welcome.

In one sentence you have summed up why we struggle internationally, get over club rivalries and support your country.

Stealing a living is nonsense. Lacking consistency and still maturing as a half back yes. He’s still the best half we have who is fit and available.

22 try assists and a grand final winners ring says different.

Bloody hell, for quarter of a mil id want a bit more consistency and maturity.

Dont know about best, definitely the most expensive half back we have fit and available.

Ah, the old club form vs country form debate. We all know how that one goes.

I thought Gildart didnt look out of place as an international centre and Tomkins went well at 7. I thoroughly enjoyed both tries especially Gildarts which got me out of my seat. Hope that clears that one up.

You said he was stealing a living at our spot, don't change the argument because you've been caught out

Thought George went fine today, defended well, kept them on the back foot going forward, kicking needs to improve, but decent enough.
Only player who disappointed me (other than Lockers who shouldn't have played) was Hodgson, I don't get the hype at all.
