no defensive cover on the bench....

I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.

Channel One (12 on the dial) for free-to-air in Sydney.

Spain '82 is where it all really began for me. There were a few moments before, plenty of moments after, but that World Cup was the zeitgeist.

Love that playing out from there back there. That's why Smith is holding his place.

Kotahitanga. We are one.

Jets have all the go-forward in the first ten mins.

OK, good, we've kept our shape, but still, let's have some territory.

Rubbish. We are getting crushed trying to play out from the back. Newcastle have done their homework well

Never thought I'd hear someone say we are missing Ridentons bite... always considered him a little soft in the tackle and on the ball.

More combative than Finkler.

It's a cliche but, have we turned up to play?

Righto, it's an unseasonably cold, wet night but that's no excuse to look flat.

so...our plan when moving the ball forward is pass through the middle and work it around a side, then just before the final third we play a long diagonal ball over to the other side... seems like a waste of possession...

How is Gui a luxury?? 

They are smashing us down our right back and when we get the ball, they are squeezing us and cutting the passing lines off well. This has zero to do with Ridenton or Gui. Watch what’s happening in front of you.

I think we do.it quite well. The problem come when it's too predictable and t hey can lump 5 players forwards to shut us down.

my problem is Gui is not dropping in to the pocket to get the ball enough.

That’s not his job. That’s McGlincheys job.

It is, McG is playing deeper, in Ridentons role.
