Australia played fantastic against samoa but what is Walters thinking?

What's the point in having Yep, Cotter and Murray in the same team? You have a 6 man bench but only one hooker and one prop?

If you want Yeo to play prop, why not just start him there?

Then you have strange and walker on the bench..

If Grant goes down, you've got Cotter having to play hooker.

Personally I'd have had Tedesco over Walsh as well.

Glad you aren’t the coach then.
They are playing because they are all tireless dogs.
Walsh brings X factor that wins big games like these. He didn’t even play that well the other night and still scored a hatrick. NZ are going the same path with Ponga.

Gosh he rubs me the wrong way. He is constantly going on about "know your worth" well you were being paid $1.2M a season to win games for the tigers and you didn't deliver. So yes know your worth, and it ain't $1.2M! Always chasing the money the habitual whinger!

Victim card played

What an ungrateful turd, most players thank the game for what they have...this bloke has more than anyone...and no gratitude that I can see

You do not get the point.

Its about the composition of the bench.

With a 6 man bench, you have a total of 2 props and 1 hooker, as well as 4 halves.

Even if Strange can play in the centre, then why have Mitchell there?

Cotter is a great player but he's not as good a prop as Smith or as good a hooker as Brailey.

If you're looking at individual choices, id have Mitchell and Teddy over Staggs and Walsh, but that doesn't matter.

The team composition and combinations are stupid.

And if you think having 4 halves instead of a extra hooker or prop is right, you're delusional or just arguing for the sake of it like usual.

What victim card?

There are layers to what Luai and Leniu are asking for.. I'm happy to discuss it but what they are saying isn't false. It does require a discussion.

Kev has coached a team to an NRL GF, SOO series win, Test Series win…he won premierships as a player, SOO series and Test series. This tournament his side has won under different scenarios with a new team and against quality opposition.
You have done exactly none of that.
I think I’ll back his judgement if that’s not too argumentative for you.

Reckon I could coach the roo's Tuck, why do I get the feeling you're laughing right now, gawd, people are unkind.

Again, arguing the poster, not the point.

Im done giving you attention now
