I'm not sure if you actually read my post, you would have seen that, although i think their were better candidates for the job, i never said these guys weren't going to perform, because of the low quality of their opposition. K might have done well - whats not to say Slater or bowen would have carved up NZ, seeing as they have been doing it to similar quality sides all year

you have proved nothing, Australia cantered home by 24 points and all the commentators could talk about was this "below par peformance" throughout the game. I said if the aussies tried hard enough they would win by 50 and that would seem correct after last night

to stop this thread spiralling hopelessly out of control, bviously we will just have to agree to disagree, personally, i think that if Nathan Hindmarsh thought that this game might jeopardise the Eel's chances on Sunday then there is no way he would risk injury - and you think he will just go in as hard as he can, for the absolute pride in the aussie jumper and the amazing honour of winning the Anzac test

Mate,

you can't change the written word.

You can bandy it around (post match)to save face or whatever.

Brent Tate was one of your "old overrated players"and he had a blinder.

You questioned K's selection ahead of Bowen,he had a blinder.

As I stated,he is at his dangerous best when he chimes into the backline.

As to whether Slater or Bowen would have done same is not the point,they weren't playing,K was.

And on that performance,they won't be displacing K anytime soon either.

Let' just agree to disagree and leave it at that.

Well, I don't have much to say but, I was wrong. This was my worst bet of the year. I still don't think that the aussies gave it 100% though go4it. It was also a closer game than the 30-6 scoreline.

Btw, it's a public forum mate, everyone's entitled to their own opinion so leave the personal crap out of it.

*Just on a side note, how lucky was that bloke who put $10,000 on Aus to win by 19+ He was going to lose by 1 point until that very last try they scored
