        I went Retallick, Read and Cruden. Cane deserved a vote too.

          SBW, Cane, Retallick.

          With the forwards it was tricky as they all faded during that "difficult" period. That demands another watch.

          Whitelock made at least one important lineout steal.

              Decided Retallick, Cane and Dagg. Hate to think what would have happened if they weren't on the field.

              Hard done by are the rest of the forwards, A Smith and SBW. Only three votes to give.

                  Yeah, Dagg was as good as any of my picks.

                    Cruden provided great guidance around the field. His only mistake was missing touch on a kick. If Ben Smith isn't there, I hope they pick Barrett at fullback next week.

                      Picked Retallick, Read and Dagg.

                      Thought Cane, Taylor (minus 2 line-outs late in the game) and BB went well, too. Special mention goes to Crockett, who again managed to have a huge impact as soon as he came on, scrumming the pussycats to pieces.

                        Cane, Retallick, and Dagg. Read and Kaino were in the mix also. Actually most of the pack. SBW was decent as well. Ioane good when he got the ball.

                          Fuck! I didn't vote for Retallick, or Whitelock!

                          Cane, Dagg, Read.

                          But I think I fucked up. Can I have more votes?

                            I went with Kaino, Cane and Read.
                            Locks lost some points cos of the lineout work.
                            Kaino and Cane looked as if they were given the order to empty the tank with Barrett and Ardie to replace them..

                                  Went with Whitelock, Retallick and Read. Almost swapped Read for Moody due to Read being the instigator for that first Lions try with the poor decision...but I'll give him a break since he's hardly played.

                                    Well, another of his kicks led to the Lions first try when the AB were going forward and the Lions defense beginning to crack under pressure. He also missed his tackle on Williams. Otherwise, not a bad effort from him but not good enough to be named in a MOTM thread.

                                      Whenever these polls are set up they should have one auto vote for BBBR and then you get two choices

                                        Forwards win matches. Retallick, Cane and hugely impressive in his return, Read.

                                          Retallick, SBW and Dagg (and I am not a big homer for this guy). Although they did not start Ardie and Charlie were excellent.

                                            Yeah I went with the same, whole team faded for a patch.

                                            BBBR just did what he does, Cane was everywhere on attack and defence, and Dagg was the pick of our backs, saved our nuts...although struggled under the high ball #bringbackcory

                                            SPecial mentions to A Smith, Read, Kaino, Ioane, Moody

                                                That kick which lead to a lions try was a fantastic kick. Read should have made the tackle and the Lions are trapped in their own end. It was a poor kick chase - not his fault. I also wonder whether or not SBW was prevented making a tackle in the lead up to that try.

                                                    Cane, Rettalick, A Smith.

                                                    SBW and Dagg unlucky but with a game like that you have to start with the low numbers and dish them out accordingly.

                                                    Smith's crisp passing, clear direction and accurate kicking game was the difference between a real arm wrestle and a game where the ABs largely had them at bay the entire game.

                                                        That seems like the go, although I thought that Cane would be the stand out number 1 pick from this match, he was relentless. Those two runs in a row when he was out of it seem to be counting against him.

                                                          Yeah I though Dagg was outstanding. He may have had better games in black, but I can't remember them.

                                                          There was a semi final at the same ground that was semi memorable!

                                                          I reckon that's his best game since then too - 6 years between drinks, but glad he can still deliver in big tests.

                                                            Brodie, Cane and Dagg for me. All 3 were huge.

                                                            Aaron Smith, Read and SBW very close. Aaron Smith's best test in a very very long time.

                                                            Special shout out to Rieko who was a total baller in his first start (what a test to have your first start in). Hansen can sure pick them.

                                                                Whenever these polls are set up they should have one auto vote for BBBR and then you get two choices

                                                                I would've said Whitelock too, although seems to be out of favour for this test. Didn't he get the steal on the line?

                                                                1 Reply Last reply Reply Quote 2

                                                                  I think Whitelock suffers in these polls because 1) he's a lock, and most people choose one of the locks to give their vote too and 2) he's so bloody consistent one performance doesn't tend to stand out above another. Stealing lineout ball at critical moments in our own half is his bread and butter - see also semi final vs SA.

                                                                        Kaino, Barrett, Crotty, SBW, A. Smith the next tier

                                                                          It was hard to only choose 3 players but BBBR, Read and Cane for me. The outcome in this test was always about the work done up front.
