Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2341411, member: 2221"] The Tate try is the perfect example why this "no separation" rule is BS. According to that rule it is a try, but how could they ever say he had the ball under control? Having said that, he did an amazing contortionist act to stay inside the field of play until the “put down”. Agree with most about Kidley, but would like to add Watmough to the culling list. They certainly contributed to the fact that the last 25 minutes of the game were just painful to watch Without Smith and Lewis, with those two ball hogging centres and a very disappointing Cronk, the team looked disjointed, even though you could still see a significant difference in class between the teams. The front row went missing. Myles shouldn’t be a front rower, TLL was continuously looking for the big hit and left the line unprotected several times, costing us a try when their half back ran through our defence like it wasn’t there. Petero looked a bit out of puff and Shillington was the only prop that did a decent job on our side. Gallen was… Gallen. The poor wingers only saw the ball from dummy half or from desperate last ditch passes, except the try from Tuqiri, even though that came after Cronk got a metres forward pass from Lewis. Cameron Smith was very good and by far the most creative player on the field, followed by a Lockyer on cruise control and an electric Slater as always. Some of his pickups were just amazing! Lewis thoroughly deserved the MOM, while Thaiday was excellent, especially that raid on the fullback was eye catching. Hard not to mention Burgess and his enormous potential. Great buy by Russell, but I wish we had snared him before Souths... [/QUOTE]
