Quote ="the flying biscuit"We shouldn't be too down hearted we suffered big losses with Sam Burgess and Walmsley...
I didn't think Currie was the right replacement for a hard yard making big prop forward to be honest. I think the game passed him by.
Our kicking was woeful. ..was it just one repeat set ?
Added to an error from slater and one kick that sat In the in the goal area, the rest were as good as passes straight to an Aussie bread basket.
Billy Slater despite all the plaudits he still gets now has regular errors in his game we should be putting him under immense pressure.
I didnt think The Aussies were good at all. ....no stand outs they just played very good boring percentage rugby and made us work hard to get off our own line...
If we can be a bit more expansive and go to the wings quicker put Currie in at centre we could cause them problems. ..
No more NRL refs though please. ....'"
I thought the game was reffed very well. We killed ourselves. The game was allowed to flow and the Aussie ref over ruled Thaler who was going to go against us. He reffing was fair for both sides. We just tired quicker due to being under the pump for near enough the full first half.
Some shocking decisions and kicking from Gale saw us bomb every decent change we had which led us to try a ridiculous kick to the corner in the final minute.
