MotM vs Australia I
-
3 votes as usual.
-
Retallick is obvious and Goodhue practically picks himself too. I thought the third vote should go to a prop and Franks won a few early penalties so he got it.
-
Retallick, Read and Barrett were irreplaceable tonight.
-
The two locks + Goodhue for me.
The locks were amazing in the lineouts. Goodhue looks like an established All Black already.
-
Retallick, Cane and Goodhue.
Ben Smith very close.
-
BBBR, Goodhue and Cane for me.
I see big Sam is getting some love, but I didn't think he was one of the top 3 or 4 AB's on the field, but can't begrudge him some votes on his 100th.
-
@nepia I wish he'd scored that try, would've been neat with one on debut and one on 100.
-
Retallic read and goodhue

Herald rankings:
13. Jack Goodhue - 6
Accidental Liverpool kiss dispatched Crotty. Unruffled demeanour under pressure. Good lines rewarded with try.*
Nuts.

B Barrett for me. As Hansen said we built pressure in the first half which allow us to score the points in the second. "They had the momentum for the first 20 and then we got a bit of ball and forced them make some tackles. Whilst we didn't score the points we wanted, we put them under a lot of pressure and in the second half we were able to take advantage of it."
-
Rettallick, Goodhue, Cane and a mixed bag from everyone else.
-
Goodhue. Retallick. ALB.
I like Crotty but we can’t built a midfield around a guy whose average game time is the first 10 Minutes.
-
Went BBBR, Goodhue and BB.
BB pretty measured but slowly took control.
Thought some credit for pulling away on the scoreboard goes to DMac. He had some very good touches at the right moments with passes setting the outsides free and a nice interchange with BFA to get the Wobblies back-pedalling.
BTW: Isn't it nice to have BBBR back as default poll pick?
Whatever backhanded compliment the NH press throws his way they would all love to have him/

@booboo he usually does.

@taniwharugby looks like it was Andrew Alderson. Would have expected better.
-
Stuuf's Aaron Goile had Goodhue at 9

He's good normally, albeit more of a cricket guy.
-
BBBR was outstanding and great to see him back in open spaces. Vaea take note, you can do the tight stuff and do the flashy stuff...
Cane was great over the ball. I thought he was excellent.
Goodhue was very good but for me Ben Smith shaded him for just the absolute bucket load of tidying up he did.
-
Retallick of course, then Goodhue and Naholo. With the notable exception of his brain explosion (spear tackle on Folau), Naholo was awsome. But he has not a lot of fans here in the Silverfern forum.
-
Retallick easily man of the match. ALB and Naholo just ahead of B Barrett for others.
Hard to see how other teams will combat AB second half onslaughts this year, due to the athleticism of several forwards and instinctive interplay of backs finding space - once they have tired out opposition starters.

I’m a Naholo fan and have even had the shining armour ready to go, but I thought he a very mixed bag last night. His decision making is a very iffy at this level. Not talking about that tackle, it’s the ruck play and positioning on D.
-
I picked Goodhue because he was solid on defense and for his first appearance did not put a foot wrong. Barret is always a game changer and his cross kick and try shows his impact. Same with Naholo. Makes mistakes but also had two tries and is a game changer. Can not underestimate what game changers like Barret and Naholo and Iaone have on a game.
-
Naholo scored a fantastic try and ripped the ball from Koroibete's hands which led to Goodhue's try. This was the game's turning point. I did not see him make too many mistakes. He was greatly involved in both halves too.

It' a mark of how depressed and resigned to defeat Wallaby supporters are that they aren't more outraged about that. Koroibete was clearly tackled and Naholo had to release.
-
@antipodean reckon they have a similar argument for the one BBBR ripped in the lead to his try too.

That's a law that is randomly refereed. In the Magpies v Southland game yesterday Nutbrown was completely inconsistent with it and would penalise someone for no release in one movement and then a couple of movements let it go completely.
-
@nepia part of it is that alot of happens either simultaneous with the ruck ball call or +/- a sec and the ref makes his call.

You're theoretically right - but by that argument, a 'tackle' should be ruled whenever a knee touches the ground. Refs don't - I think they should, but I'm out a limb.
Also, if you're meant to release someone, how the fark do you have 'not held' calls.
For me, Naholo was within his rights, the way the game is reffed these days. No major with the no call.

Yep - if anything, that was worse as he went to ground with Genia.
It was still a superb piece of thievery though. And I do have some sympathy for requiring ball carriers to actually hold onto the pill themselves.

A gif was posted on GAGR with someone having a little whine. After watching it I actually thing Naholo was in his rights as he didn't even make a tackle. The ball carrier went to ground voluntarily.
Cant post the gif here as the file size is too big, but here is a link to the thread page http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/bledisloe-1-saturday-18-august-2018-anz-stadium-sydney.18318/page-28
