On defence or lack of it, That Luke miss that led to To'o's try was very ordinary. Some simple misses there. Hopefully he comes back early and gets working on it

His kick for one of the tries was great but yeah he's a turnstile, not that anyone here wants to hear that. Might end up with Kenny playing 80mins which is a bit of a worry

His attack wasn't the concern. The 5 missed tackles including that terrible one on Suaalli

The great majority I reckon. He’s all limbs and lifted knees. You know what you’re going to get with most middles.

The positive is he should be on for 30 mins or so at the end of games, Tired middles in theory are easier to tackle

Cleary needs to practice his kicking under pressure.

Can be very ordinary.

That said Harry Grant needs to not dick around at the end of the set. Cleary and Munster were set and he holds the ball too long.

Martin an animal in defence, a little ordinary running the ball

Australia need to play off Yeo.

That is where Mal messing up with the halves all series has hurt.

Cleary is a structure half, Get that right and the side is unbeatable. In rep sides coaches try to be too cute

Best player in the game.

I'm upset for him that no media, fan page or podcast broadcasts it. The closest I've seen is Gus's podcast/YouTube show pre the GF where he says as much.

Controls the game in attack and defence like no player I've ever seen.

I'd say if he makes it to thirty playing at the same level he'll be the greatest Panther of all time.

It is because he does the hard stuff, Media are dumb and go for flashy over substance.

Agreed. Backs it up on the big stage now too

Only two poor kicks he put in he was being smashed as he kicked it. Like he's being hit before it hit the boot. Bit hard to nail the kick he wants.

Hunt put one out on the full with no pressure from dummy half. Munster put in some very ordinary kicks with no pressure. Hughes put in arguably the worst (or dumbest) kick of the game murdering an overlap and kicking behind JAC on the first tackle. Brown I can't remember any poor kicks though I am sure he put in a bludger or two.

I think Hunt is definitely a better team player than Grant though. Grant seems to think about what he can do on every play first and not what someone else can do on the play. If he sees nothing for himself he distributes it just fine. But there's often something on for someone else that he's not identifying and throws the wrong pass or goes himself.

He does so much individually brilliant stuff though which can turn a game or momentum.
