Not making touch on two penalties is criminal

We would've had more scoring opportunities ourselves had our penalties found touch.

At least we have started spreading the ball more, this is one of the weakest back lines Australia have put out in years so we should be testing them at all opportunities.

How does Gareth Widdop continue to pull on a number 6 shirt for England?

Soft shoulder charge penealty that

He's wearing number 7 today

that's how he's getting away with it then

13 penalties in a half of rugby that wasn't exactly full of foul play.....Hicks is getting himself way too involved in this.

The one on Watkins for a 'late' hit on the kicker was a classic in awe of the Aussies decision from the ref.

Think we're getting a bit caught out on our right, Oz making loads of metres via Inglis etc.

Missing touch from a penalty (twice) is shocking from any International player, in fact from a player at any level.
It's not like it's blowing a gale.

He killed the game against the kiwis as a spectacle and he's killing this.

The Aussies have been average yet still hold a lead. You still get the feeling they have an extra gear or three to use hopefully they won't be able to find it in the second half.

two stupid penalties and one that should not have been given. twice not finding touch, once again exaction and school boy errors letting us down. we give them way too much respect. think we can pull this off though.

BTW, it was Hodgson who missed the second touch.

How do you suggest we stop inglis? if you know you should write it down and sell it to all the NRL coaches because they haven't figured it out either.

I'll let Bennett figure that one out!

Game over I think, we've lost our way.

Because he's the only half we've got whose used to NRL defence week in week out.

Nobody is taking or organising at all. Where's the captain? Where's the halves and hooker leading? NOWHERE! Brown just kicked to nothing on the third tackle, what's going on?

Definitely over now

dire. stood off Inglis all day long and now he fancies it. hopefully it won't turn into a cricket score now.

Is bateman playing today?

haha same old here we go... not unexpected though.

We've got to get a grip otherwise it'll be 40+

This is just awful!

We were closer to them two years ago over in their back yard.

I'm hoping it's one step backwards before taking numerous strides forward under Bennett because we've certainly gone backwards under him so far.

Until we can find a general at half back, then we don't stand much chance.
