Wallabies v Argentina @ CommBank Stadium 7.45pm Sat 15/07

[qwerty51]

Got to laugh at all the people blaming Argentina for diving and cheating, if Quade or Kerevi don't go high or tackle late it's not a penalty. They're the ones to blame.

 

[Marce]

The WBs are going to be destroyed by whoever they face in QFs

 

[Wilson]

What positives can we take away from that performance?

McReight, Nawaqanitawase and Bell's return

Has @Marce actually contributed anything constructive to this thread?

Just this thread?

Carter Gordon made HUGE unforced errors and everybody says he's the new Larkham

He is. Wright? Not so much.

 

[Highlander35]

Fix the discipline and that's a tough but comfortable win.

 

[Ignoto]

What positives can we take away from that performance?

That the Cooper and Gordon 10/12 is our Lynagh Horan combination for the WC.

Len looks busted and you can't count on Hunter or Lalakai to not be busted.

I think McReight needs to stop pushing the pas offload in low percentage plays. Always feels like a big part of his game.

Bell was a monster when he came on.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Kerevi looks slow. Slow in D and couldn't stick to Carter earlier.

Too slow and as events showed at the end, lacking a bit of smarts too. Cooper, Kerevi and Koroibete all well below par this game.

What positives can we take away from that performance?

Skelton had a strong match.
Holloway had a strong first half.
McReight is up to it
Gordon is up to Test footy comfortably
Marky is a special outside back talent
Bell looked ready to go

 

[Confucius Say]

That’s the most gutted I’ve seen an Aussie captain.

 

[molman]

Nah it's just dumb, it's his MO - he doesn't care about game situation. He's done it time and time again.

It's his semi-final performance last month all over again.

I think it depends upon which lens you decide to look at things with. I don't disagree that he tends to push things and contextually that wasn't the time for it.

 

[PhilClinton]

I hate Atko raising “some conjecture around the try at the end and have you spoken about that” to Slipper. Fark sake sports media in general gives me the shits lately, don’t go looking for him to provide an excuse for the loss.

 

[Confucius Say]

Everyone blaming penalties but the interpretation was shite

 

[Pokinacha]

Fix the discipline and that's a tough but comfortable win.

How do you fix discipline that comes exclusively from an interpretation by a ref? Especially one that seems to be unable to be consistent with both teams

 

[tighthead show and go]

The WBs are going to be destroyed by whoever they face in QFs

Brave to assume they make quarters

That team is much closer to the mark than last week.

 

[Pokinacha]

Too slow and as events showed at the end, lacking a bit of smarts too. Cooper, Kerevi and Koroibete all well below par this game.

Don’t tell me, more brumbies will fix it right?

 

[PhilClinton]

That team is much closer to the mark than last week.

Some big questions though about who now plays 13 and we need a new 15.

Except the high tackle or late tackle were both marginal decisions that wouldn't have been looked at if it wasn't for a soccer dive. But all power to you if you're happy with that shit creeping into the game.
