[Brumbieman]

Nearly ruined by Beale - shit ball, and Hodge - over running the ball carrier AGAIN

But they didn’t, take what you get with the Wallabies.

 

[Brumbieman]

Wow, its amazing what happens when you pass the ball straight off the deck, put the ball in front of the ball carrier just before he hits the line and run nice angles.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Gees but how much spark has Beale provided so far...

 

[Up the Guts]

Really bummed we didn’t convert there. Could have been 17-3, instead defending on our own 22m.

 

[Derpus]

Genia having a great game.

 

[Tomikin]

Rory having a blinder massive at the front of the lineout actually Rodda too.. Good after bring a bit quite last week

 

[Up the Guts]

Genia having a great game.

A lot of guys have done some great work but mixed it in with a few errors. Kerevi, Naisarani, Koroibete, Arnold have all been great and there’re plenty more. Pretty classic Wallabies.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Beale pushes the envelope but

If we're experimenting, then I think Beale as a roaming winger would be better then either DHP or Hodge. I think banks was solid enough to keep a spot - I'd prefer to keep him at fullback then wing.

It won't happen but it's an idea

nah really like what seeing from Beale at fullback as he craves space to be creative. I was on the bandwagon for banks to start at 15 but tonight’s performance by Beale reminding me his strength is vision on what to do with space. Not saying banks not got role in match day 23 either as for sure great prospect with pace.

 

[Derpus]

Naisarani has that 8 jersey on lock. Still think Samu would be better than LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto).

Keen to see Jones on.

 

[chasmac]

LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) looks better than I was predicting. Keep it up.

I think LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) playing well

Yep, my standouts so far.

 

[Up the Guts]

Hooper has been a nuisance around the ruck. One turnover at a crucial time, slowed down the ball at others. Definitely can play as traditional 7 when he’s tasked to.

Really? Argies are all over us in the rucks.

 

[Up the Guts]

Good Nela.

On defensive rucks they have been. Attacking rucks we’ve slowed the ball.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Agreed, our inability to deal with rush defence makes it even stupider to put a second playmaker in the squad. Have Kerevi and TK in the middle to get us over the game line and if we can get quick ball, you will put the defence on the back foot reducing the effectiveness of their rush.

If you put a second play maker in the backs, he will suffer the same fate as Foley with the rush defence. But in any event if people think we 'need' a second play maker, Genia is able to be that person from the 9. I'd daresay it being his final game at home, he'll start.

With a kerevi you have another nonu which means 12 who makes metres

 

[dru]

Llea has been good. But has it been better than Foley?

 

[Up the Guts]

Good defensive passage.
