Yeaman was poor, he and Briscoe looked like strangers.

Wtf was Chase doing with that restart and Westwood lost his head after Williams took his off.

Agree with most of that Sinfield was very, Peacock didn't look interested (scared maybe), Westwood was just a penalty machine today, i thought chase showed some passion and tried things. I was impressed with JJB tackled and took the ball forward well.

he was trying a Briers special 40-20 from a tap 20 restart.

How many minutes did Peacock do?

It was rubbish.

never said it wasn't

i'd say about 40 mins

Part of the defensive problem is that both half backs today weren't strong in defence (Chase is woeful in defence) and that leaves both outside backs to do so much more. I agree with others that Chase is a one trick pony and we need a half to move us around the field. We seem very right sided, when with ball in hand, we could have caused problems with both wings.

much as i dislike yeaman i thought he held his own today his defence was good he didnt get much chance in attack i dont see how sheldon could say he was poor

Quite easily, he lost the ball at least 3 times, which at international level you can't do.

His runs from dummy half were also ineffective.

Didnt have a great game yesterday and I dont think he played that well against France and Wales but I doubt he will be dropped, not with only Abblett(sp) as his replacement.

Briscoe looked all over when attempting to take the first real high kick of the day at him but he recovered well from that and had a good game.

I didn't think yeaman was that bad other than a couple of errors with ball in hand. The main issue we have is that our half backs are rubbish and don't provide any decent ball for our outside backs. The one time they got they got some space we scored the try before half time (which was produced by a 2nd rower, not a half).

We need to move tomkins to stand off for me and play widdop at full back for the NZ game. Bin chase. He's a luxury player we can't afford and his pathetic attempt at reaching touch from a drop out was stupid

The last two games have made me glad we didn't sign Chase, he's no better behind a beaten pack than Horne, how Morley and Graham are even getting a look in is beyond me, both did nothing yesterday.

yes cudjoe is in the squad.

I thought the pack did ok considering Peacock , Ellis and Graham have been carrying knocks for most of the season. How can Carvell be left out infavour of crocked players is beyond me.
