Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2832685, member: 1899"] I hate to admit it, but losing Dugan early in the second half stifled the Kangaroos. I was interested to see how Morgan would play in the centres given his style but he really wasn't all that impressive. The only play I recall him making in that position was a tackle on Kahu who was more or less like a crash test dummy out there for the Kiwis. From that point on, the game sort of petered out. The Kiwis with a couple of consolation tries which were just rewards for their efforts to make ground but the Australians rarely looked under threat, at least not after the Ferguson intercept. Andrew Fifita is a strange player. On one hand, he's the closest thing the modern game has to Artie Beetson, on the other he can be a real loose cannon. I thought for the most part he involved himself well, but the attention to detail and lack there of is apparent which is why I felt Mal was justified not picking him the first time around. While there were positives in Fifita's game, I don't think you can say the same for Merrin. I think Australia would have been better off picking Trbojevic at lock and I think Daley ought to go with Jake in the upcoming State of Origin series. [/QUOTE]
