You just gave the answer. A tweak here and there with players, a tweak here and there with strategies. Simple and small changes -(that I expected to naturally evolve over the series) can be implement but they weren't so it was a complete fail. Going forward it can be easily fixed. Eg. Exist...

ummm we lost 3 in a row and they all get a pass.... So you guys are happy to keep losing as long as it's only by a small margin and we score some tries in-between? I think the high score has created a false sense of security. You know England's game-plan isn't involved around beating us...

"his style of play" That's a problem right there. The players strengths and weaknesses should dictate the style of play.

Does Coleman call the line-outs? If so, I'm liking the idea of a future lock pairing of: 4. Coleman 5. Arnold / Douglas Maybe a year or two away form where they want to be but come RWC they should be firing.

I'd rather Foley at 10 even with the poor kicking. He is our best available 10 by some margin, I think we all need to accept that.

Gits has the advantage of a left boot which greatly takes pressure off Foley from kicking, plus he is probably a better goal-kicker then Foley too. Those 2 areas are key problems - unfortunately for To'omua that gives Gits a huge advantage come selection time. - Which is annoying as hell given...

Is Poey expected to be back in time?

Our backline attack is mostly fine. We scored a lot of tries. Gits will make a difference because of his left foot boot, our exit strategy dramatically improves with Gits in the team. But having said that, I agree with your overall assessment that it still won't make a huge difference. The...

To be fair. Nabuli has barely one season of super xv under his belt and the rest of our wingers are injured or unavailable. Horne is shit, but he was basically the last man standing. The rest are all complete rookies, and their were enough rookies in the squad already. I'm certainly...

Once again I was unimpressed with Cheika's post match interview. Comments were basically "we need to be more clinical" - stating he will not stray away from his strategy because "it works, it has in the past". Blaming100% on inaccuracies instead of any acknowledgement at all that poor...

Frisby is the clear next choice given he is on bench and Stirzacker is not. Cheika stating in the press conference that Genia will return for the Rugby Championship - so he's in favour of Stirzaker also.

So no other option but to drop Foley? See, I think he can kick well enough not for it to be a problem. The problem was pressure magnifying the issue. Relieve the pressure and his kicking is alright. Not fantastic, but well enough. The reason I'm pointing this out and not arguing for a...

We know our primary kicker is poor. Foley. This is not a new discovery, it is a known issue. Their are other kicking options available, their are other players who can kick that can be injected into the team. So no. we don't NEED to get better at kicking. It would be very helpful but we can...

When it comes to clearance kicking Lilo and Quade are better. Miles better. They kick longer and can actually find touch. To'omua was better then Foley last night too - he actually found touch with a nice clearance kick early on. I agree with the rest though, Phipps I didn't think was that bad...

3. McMahon 2. Folau 1. Hooper HM: To'omua, DHP

Fact: Poor strategy and game management led to England being able to easily implement their strategy and pressure ours. Example. How bloody easy was it for England to put pressure on Foley as kicker because they know he is going to be the only one. Or how confident do you think England got...

9 and 10 are problem areas. Phipps passing was horrible in the RWC and has returned again. Frisby is so inexperienced and hardly setting the world on fire but probably a better option right now. Foley's kicking is really doing us damage. if he can fix this he will be a solid option. But that is...

Yeah I would if it was 3 years in a row. And I was the favourite staff member to get a raise as I was ranked second best worker the previous year, now I'm only fourth best.

I wonder how many losses in a row we will get. Almost certainly 6. Can we beat SA at Suncorp to stop 7?

No I think he literally had 2-3 players on him straight away every time, whereas everyone else had 1 or 2 only. They were also hitting him high. I believe they were certainly targeting Skelton to either hold him up or slow the ball down.
