Well done Slater, Monahgan, and Williams..

Brainsnap Billy is always good for one of those shockers...never lets you down!

What..you are kidding right..Glenn Stewart was the best by far for Australia

Glenn Stewart played ok but he was the one steam rolled for J Smiths try

I've seen some stupid posts on here but fair dinkum Lockyno1 you are the only spastic.
Slater has been absolutely brilliant this year - that play down the side line was crap but the rest of his game was pretty good.
Thurston seemed a second too slow with everything he did tonight and Williams isn't ready for this level as of yet. However calling the boys mongs and spastics just shows you up to be the idiot. Just f**k off you whinging bitch.

 

[Y2Eel]

Slater should have been replaced after that stupid play. It did show why Brett Stewart and Hunt are better Aussie fullbacks. Australia really missed Hodges, as that would allow Folau to play wing and then spastic 1 or 2 (Williams or Monagahan) would be out!

Neither Williams or Monahgan will be in the side agin when they bring back Hodges and Tate...

The forwards really missed Steve Price tonight as Ricky went for the old roosters trick of playing Fitzgibbon as a front rower good job sticky...

 

[lockyno1]

Thurston where was he?

Giving Lockyer the ball. You only need one dominant half. His general play kicking was good.

 

[Bowhunter]

Williams did well to score one, and did very well to save one against Vatuvei.

Monaghan got a shocking bounce, and Hohaia would have scored anyway.

Slater? Yeah well, there's no excuse for a f**k up like that one.

 

[lockyno1]

So how much does Stuart need to take the blame..he played the wrong side. This shows how ordinary a coach Stuart is.

 

[Glory be Lockyer]

thats why Slater has lost 2 of the last 3 grand finals, well actually, make it 3 from 4 now. Locky must be so confused right now, he just wasn't meant to lose grand finals.

Thurston made less kicks than Lockyer in general play and the same as C Smith.

C Smith i thought had a very good game in a losing side, should have put Lockyer in with a try and basically set up the Inglis try by engaging the short side markers.

 

[Glory be Lockyer]

Wayne Bennett is God.

Williams also let one in- the last one, as the bloke can't catch for crap. Whether the guy would have scored is a moot point, at least make the kick harder. Slater was horrid.

You hardly need two dominant halves. It rarely works at rep level. I thought Thurston even though he was quieter was decent. I did think they should have had Prince in there somewhere.

 

[Glory be Lockyer]

Hunt shud have come onto the wing and prince onto the bench.

 

[playdaball]

i love this thread !!!!!!

 

[typicalfan]

you really go right for the throat after the fact dont you? Hindsight is a wonderful thing Locky. Trust me, the performance of your halfback is more influential than the performance of your wingers, especially when the side is already being dominated.

Monaghan a spastic for (maybe) costing us two points when we lost by 14 lololol

This not forget the turnstile Watmough who missed the most tackles of any player on the field....This idiot just cant play in the big games, he showed it in last years gf, origin 2 years ago and tonight

 

[lucablight]

Slater, Williams and Thurston all deserved to be in the side. It's unfortunate for Australia that they had mediocre games tonight but anyone who is proclaiming they shouldn't have been there is crazy.

 

[typicalfan]

yeah where we really lost the game was impact off the bench. Fitzy, Watmough, Tupou and Hunt really didnt contribute.

The Slater explosion also was a major turning point after such a great season he really did bring his name back to the field, although what happened to Williams could happen to any winger whose forwards are dominated.

 

[KHunt]

Hunt should have started and Prince at interchange. I dont know why they didn't do that!
