Our link game hasn’t been working as well. We are creating space and making metres through line breaks but we need to be smarter with the ball and in space

@Tim Jordan is much better, yes. Clarke hasn't added much.
What do you think mate? Is Jordie a step up from Havili?

He's basically sealed the deal to start the next couple of tests I reckon. So much more composure with him there

@Chris Akira's defence has been awesome so far.
Feel like I'm watching a different game to some others haha.

He’s been very good but as an example of what annoys me is that he still doesn’t use his shoulder. Can make a small difference but in one passage it was noticeable when he wrestled a player to the ground well then BBBR put a hit in followed by a shoulder. The object of BBBRs defence stayed down longer.

Koroibete should be peppered now

@Chris I recently posted that I think Akira is on his last legs. But he’s done nothing wrong in this game. I think we expect him to play like he did against Australia a couple years ago but it seems to me he’s been asked to play a tight game and I think if you look at some of his tackles him and Papallii have been forcing opposition backwards. I have expressed that I wish he would run more direct lines and with pace but I’m not coaching him. So you can ask the Ryan why this is not happening. And then when he makes a run and no one there to clean out the tacklers so what gives?

Didn't he play well against Australia just a year ago?

@KiwiMurph Not really. He doesn’t have a good insight.

How laughable that Foster kept downplaying Jordie as a 12.
Kind of like not starting Sami.

Yeah nah. They seem to be playing mix and match all the time. Interchangeable backs which is good but I’m not sure you can compare directly.

It's only one game but our defensive system looks so much better with jordie in 12 over havili

You must be watching a different game from me because JB has been central to our midfield gaining the advantage

He finds good players through injuries.

@Anonymous I can understand why SW thought he scored it, but you can't give that, surely
