Locky - you are fair dinkum the only real spastic. You didn't call for Slaters head when he was blowing the Poms off the park. As for cutie - can't remember anyone having more fans for doing f*ck all. What's he done in the last 2 years to deserve the chances selectors give him?
As for Williams and Monas, at least they had a dig. Williams was great in the first half. Monas had to make that play - though illegal. When the World Cup is on the line, would you just stand there and be polite?
Australia missed Price, but Kite was great.
And Inglis was again missing. I re-issue my call that he is overrated. He's great when you are 20 in front and the halves are giving him great service. Yet, take away the fancy play in easy games, he's nothing. He has had many great moments on the bis stage, but he is yet to create anything in a tight game against quality opposition. In comparison, Folau rises to the occasion, and I reckon in a few years time Folau will be clearly a better player.
Jarryd Hayne showed far more passion, brilliance and guile in the finals series than Inglis did.
Inglis was well and truly owned by a converted back rower. Simon Mannering has emerged to be truly world class. Inglis is almost as useless as cutie.
The next Aussie backline needs to have Hayne and Stewart, maybe Hodges.
Miss this years GF Fitz? He played ok tonight ..same as the rest of them.
Where was Greg Inglis ? This years GF and now the WC final ..wasnt sighted off Nobbys!
No sign of him off Long Reef, Seal Rocks or Smokey Cape either.
Bit hard for Hunt to do something when you come on in with 10 mins to go and NZ have wrapped the win up.:?
Topou's the most overated player I've seen.
Yep, outside Lockyer, Thurston, Slater, Folau and Harold Hold Inglis - no chance. :roll:
If cutie is the best option to bring on 8 points down with 10 to go - you'd wanna be playing no-one better than Penriff.
