Video highlights – Rocky’s return

Everyone was awaiting his return – you, me, the media, the Irish – so how well did he go?

From about a kilometre away in the stands it wasn’t easy to tell, but stats and the clip below told a familiar story; even with one leg there’s no holding back the Rock.

Name	Position	Mins	Runs (m)	Tack	Offloads	Ruck	T/Ov	Miss
Rocky Elsom	BSFL	81	2 (11m)	15	1	4	0	1
George Smith	OSFL	81	4 (17m)	16	1	4	1	1
Richard Brown	NUM8	81	5 (16m)	4	0	5	3	3

Up until now Antipodeans’ selections have gone with form and merit, but looking at Elsom’s stats vs Brown’s, you gotta think the young Force player is out of his depth. Oh for the return of Cliffy or Captain Claret. You can’t help but feel some poor decisions are starting to be made.
