Must be. That said he didn't have a bad game, there were plenty better though.

Thats nuts. Foley was OK.
Kepu and Hooper in the first and McMahon in the second were standouts. McMahon still struggled in the early exchanges in tight. Cant help thinking that Timani should be starting at 8 with McMahon on the flank.
Dempsey or someone else on the bench.
Hanigan had a horrible first 30 minutes again.

I'm pretty sure it is the journos and other people in the media box.

Naaaah....his perfect conversion rate easily nullified his kick out on the full, his charged down kick(again) and his total lack of impact/involvement in our scoring attack moves and pedestrian passing all game! Be fair
Funny he didn't get a mention from the GAGR reviewer.
We'd all love to see Timani really assert himself at number 8 but right now I reckon McMahon is doing a better job of being more physical and winning collisions than he is.
That was a really good game from him and rivalled his game in Bledisloe 2.
When we were under the pump in the first half I think Hooper and McMahon were really key to our scrambling defence and keeping us in the game.

Well isn't that the funniest coincidence....you were just having a go at me in another thread for continually pointing out Bernard's Foleys, which I again explained was because SOOO many people are blind to it....and look what happens! POINT PROVEN I THINK!
(Did he really get MOTM? I don't believe it.....)

Totally agree....I think their mobility showed its potential tonight......it could have been a cricket score with better finishing of some of there impact plays in the first half!

So If it's all bad, Is that a reflection on ME....or FOLEY! And maybe try looking 3 posts above...I comment plenty on other things......(I find it interesting that the haters never debate what I say about Foleys performances.....rather you show a lack of decency and have a crack at me......you do realize he plays a lot of tests......so if he's playing garbage your going to hear a lot of criticism)
I'm not going anywhere.....you may just have to embrace that)

I'm not suggesting McMahon missing out. I would put Timani at 8 to lock the scrum with McMahon moving to 6.
Horses for courses maybe. We got away with a lack of muscle in the back row this week unlike against the Boks

I really struggle to understand the Hanigan selection. He is tremendously ineffective. It's not a lack of effort but into contact - whether ruck or with ball or even tackling - he doesn't get the job done. I saw him twice run all guns blazing into tackles with bad technique to go flying off with the tacklee just carrying on. Very ineffective at the ruck and making no ground with ball in hand. It is really odd that he continues to start.
The crowd in Canberra. Let me guess "it was cold" (it's always cold) or "it's the second weekend in September. Doesn't the ARU know that everyone leaves town that weekend?"
They continue to fail to draw a crowd.
I always thought brumbies should go via merger and I think if that's what you draw to a rugby championship test then send the game to Adelaide, Tassie, or a regional city. You'll get the same or more turning out and it will be a better story

On Dempsey, in this cameo, he appeared to really accelerate into contact and that helped him /us get across the advantage line
