Brown's having a great WC, esp considering he was a late replacement callup to the squad for that mid-season Samoa game.



If you'd have told me earlier in the season that he'd not only be on the plane, but getting the nod at 6 ahead of Williams and Widdop, at the business end of the tournament, I wouldn't have believed you.



And it's completely on merit. He's taken his chances and shown he's got something about him.



I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing him back in P&B next season.

Like any half back you’re only as good as the metres your pack makes.



Hope Hill’s blip in form is temporary and we see the proper Mike Cooper next season. I still feel we are a bit light up front compared to other teams. Maybe Westwood will be a regular prop providing some much needed biff and grunt.

I'm hoping Akauola and BBM can ofset the weaknesses or form dips from Hill and Cooper to carry the pack on a front foot so Brown can do what his does.

And still to many mistakes.

Gale has been awful so far in an otherwise good performance. Defence looks good. Brown doesn't have a kicking game but has been decent.

We've passed well, and scrambled brilliantly when we've been opened up.



Individually

Graham has been immense

Burgess hard to handle

Widdop improving at FB

Brown done OK, just wish he'd take the line on, more

Gale and Bateman are not international class

Hill is miles away from the player he was

Attendance is 30,003

WTF

They just won that and the ref gave us the win

Ridiculous last 10 minutes. The Aussies will have had a few concerns for the previous 70, as we showed a lot of resolution.

The end showed our soft underbelly.

Worrying. Very worrying.



Next week, we MUST find a kicking game, to open them up. At the moment, we don't have one. One decent single attacking kick in 80 mins is pathetic. The Aussies will simply lap up our pressure.



If we don't kick well, we've no chance

What was that, seriously.

Rewound it numerous times, seeing it as a loose carry now but got away with one big time



We will get annihilated next week if we defend like that
