He was very useful when coming off the bench and running the edges, even for the compensation in the NSW defence to defend against him - that alone is worth more than what Gillette has ever shown to offer.
I think he will avenge himself one day for that incident (fight / bashing..lol) but I...
Precisely, GUS would have agreed with that call every time if it was in the NRL.. I have HEARD him do it MANY TIMES! He says things like "you have to be able to compensate for the decoys, it's part of the game"... but when it happens in Origin (oh, and the call is against NSW) and the decider...
and we have a lot more of Taylor's historic SOO performances to go by so the argument you're putting up is really weak.. Taylor would have had a much bigger impact that Gillette.. extremely low chance that Taylor would have performed worse than Gillette..
Well there was a lot of talk about the Taylor / Gillette thing between you two (and many others), so I think some thing needed to be said. As I commented in that thread, all we could do is wait and see the game to judge whether the decision was right or not, and I think that outcome is quite...
Go and watch it again a few times, the more you watch it, the more it is a try. Scott made a big mistake and paid the price - that's what happens when you make a mistake in defence on your own try line. I don't even think Scott saw Farrah's hands go up. He could have jumped and made the...
Maybe the next day might be a bit much, but if it's on the same night I can understand. I know where you are coming from but years and year of dirty tactics aren't going to suddenly disappear. They've just finished watching a great game but at the same time, those off decisions, high tackles...
It's obviously some idiot scoring them....
Give Hodges a lower score because he got that try awarded ... 6.5?? It was Hodges best game ever in SOO ...
Cronk was more than 7.. he gave Pearce 5 and Cronk gets 7??? and by these ratings it says Cronk played to the same level as Bird and Hayne...
There is whinging popping up - especially about the Hodges try.
And can I ask WHY did Tate get pulled up later and put on report for his punch when Hayne got overlooked in game 1 with his punce on Thurston? Is the just the colour of the jersey again?
Any article titled with this is going...
That's actually really refreshing to hear. Hope that is where it stays with none of this "but I hadn't see the replay at that time" stuff.
Thanks for posting Pete.
There was a lot of build up on this forum about whether Gillette or Taylor should have been picked, and I did say the only way we will find out is after watching the game.
Sorry, but to me Taylor really has the heaps up. Gillette redeemed himself from the dropped ball but didn't really do...
