What do Australia need to change after this loss?

[RaVS]

I've personally never seen the Kangaroos make soo many simple errors in handling the ball.

My observations are:

- Cherry Evans should play at half-back and Cronk at five-eight.
- Moylan needs to be in the starting line-up over Jennings.
- Yes, Papalli is a big unit, but had hardly any impact on the game. They were hoping he would run through the line like Taumalolo did most of the night.


Also, if Cherry-evans is injured and out of the tournament should Ben Hunt partner Cronk in the halves?

There's not much they can do.

change dce defence coach?:crazy:

He wouldn't be completely out of place, plus he is decent defensively having played hooker for the majority of his career so far.

The whole team sucked tonight, Sheens better pick the right team and get them prepared or we'll be out of the tournament in a whimper.

He needs to go back to 3 weeks ago and pick a better squad.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Why yes, dropping Australia's best performer in Jennings is a great idea.

 

[roughyedspud]

theres nothing you can change...

the players available aren't up to it...

 

[clarency]

They don't need to do anything.

Australia losing is the single biggest thing that can push international rugby league forward.

I just hope it doesn't lead them to poaching more foreign players than they already do.

 

[Tweed Titan]

Australia will be fine. Just need the forwards to stand up next game and get another prop into the team for a back rower. They won't lose 2 spine players again in one game again dare I say it either.

 

[Wizardman]

I think Australia are in trouble. The concerning thing about them is they had one prop and he was quite shithouse.

Thy need at least three genuine props who are fit and ready to go or they will go down.

We don't have a quality five-eighth around as well.

 

[bluey]

We had one prop /
Lost key positions in 5/8 and fullback
Why inglis even bothered to play is bewildering, all he done was hurt the side.

 

[umina panther]

Sacking the Sheens would make the biggest difference. Even better off letting Smith captain/coach.

 

[roughyedspud]

captain/coach lol

 

[MrAnonymous]

We need forwards and not half our spine to get injured.

DCE and Inglis stay on i'm pretty sure we win that game last night. Also need to get rid off some deadwood Thaiday, Parker etc...

 

[umina panther]

Parker is a gun but I agree about 3rd man in

 

[Cold Roses]

DCE and Inglis stay on i'm pretty sure we win that game last night. ..

DCE stays on and I'm pretty sure the Kiwis put in another 2 or 3 tries just by running Bromwich and Taumalolo at him.

 

[RL The greatest game]

Don't despair. There will be a big response from the Kangaroos next week when they England. I expect a victory by 24 points at least.

 

[aqua_duck]

The one prop thing is bewildering to say the least. I'm a josh Jackson fan but he's behind about 6 back rowers in the squad, his selection in the spot makes no sense, they should've gone with Josh McGuire, a specialist prop who can start and play decent minutes, I'd also have Klemmer on the bench instead of Papalii, I'd keep Guerra there because he offers abit more versatility than Papalii.

 

[MrAnonymous]

You go into any game of rugby league let alone Rep level with anything less then 3 front rowers your going to struggle. Lose your half your spine on top of that half way thru the game your f**ked. Expect us to bounce back and beat England comfortably.

 

[RaVS]

They are missing Matt Scott big time, Woods just isn't the same. Maybe Cleammer and Cordner should get a go?

I reckon Cordner should get a go next game for sure.
