    Forward or backwards is irrelevant. The ball is clearly stripped illegally. Advantage, play-on, try.

    That ^. Nfi what the VR was doing.

    How was GI not in front of him.

    I mean it doesn't actually matter for the call but he was clearly in front

    Lose carry from Thaiday there imo, agree with Voss we see some really soft stripped calls these days. More onus needs to be put on the ball carrier

    Nah disagree. I mean Thaiday does have a loose carry but the Fijians are trying to strip a lot of these. I think in the hope that the ref might give them the rub of the green.

    Great work from Hayne and fuck that's superb support play from Cronk. Was the kicker himself, and ran past his own team mates to score that. Brilliant.

    Not much in that. Bird has a face that needs regular panel beating.
     
  8. Magic AJ Parker

    That was barely a touch. The action of looking to wrap up the ball and raking can look the same but there was no intention there or he would've genuinely raked at it. That was the perfect example of where the responsibility should be with the ball carrier.

    Inglis should've thrown the cut-out there. Doesn't matter now though. Fuck we had beautiful shape in that movement.
     
  10. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Fair enough. Agree to disagree. The outside defender looked to reef at it IMO. Could go either way but I do agree with you we need to put more importance on ball control.
     
  11. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Honestly Johnathan. Pass the fucking ball.
     
  12. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Unlucky Smithy. Beautiful vision though.
     
  13. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Tate needs to watch Naiqama. He's obviously concerned about JT on the inside but he's gotta show faith.
     
  14. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    :laugh: Thought Smithy was gonna score for sure there. Great defence.
     
  15. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Big Papa. First touch.
     
  16. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    What a fucking line. So hard to stop at that speed and angle with that size.
     
  17. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Glad I took Australia -14.5 instead. Was gonna go on Fiji but with a bigger handicap than that. Wayyyy bigger. :p And it looks like I would've needed it.
     
  18. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    lol. Fucking butchered that. Good run but not the best pass from Boyd.
     
  19. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    What a pathetic attempt by Waqa. Nice stuff from Hayne.

    Really didn't think Australia would do it this easily. I thought maybe they'd pull away as the game wore on but they're going at the same rate as they did against the US.
