Good penalty to give away by Slade. That was tactical to kill quick ball.

Yup. Hate to say it. He's currently the player that the media pretend Ford is. Fantastic highlights but just has too many flakey moments.

Debatable knock on..

On another note, if a player is tackled if his knees are on the ground, why do refs continue to allow players to hold them up or strip the ball?

I wouldn't go that far. Couple of nice breaks though.

Great question by Hooper - "Someone came in the side? Who was it?"

Literally pick an Australian forward mate. Any and all. That maul was going places before it was killed.

Good decision to go for the 3 though -I'd lay money we'd've screwed it up if we went for the maul again.

Really? I was more thinking that his passing has actually been quite good.

Or have I missed some of the usual howlers? I'm not sure I've been paying as much attention as I should.

Bear in mind I haven't considered any of his performances particularly good for several years.

Daly has been utterly dire. Ignoring the failure to tackle, he's been tentative sweeping, and that whole attack came from him refusing to compete for an eminently competable high ball.

By no means terrible but there have been instances of the passing lottery as usual.
