First 45 minutes we were dreadful. Defence out wide was useless, we weren't completing sets and were trying playing basic 1 up rugby through the forwards who were getting dominated in the tackle area due to no support runners and therefore the lack of an offload threat for 2nd and 3rd tacklers to worry about. Really we should have been dead and buried at half time.
Then the terrible Atkins went off hurt and it changed everything. Tomkins moved to full-back and it gave him the space to do the damage he does in Super League. Westwood started making some big runs and then Graham, who I thought was our best player, started to get on top of their tireing pack also.
Roby's try was a bit lucky. But the break by Shenton, who I thought was outstanding in the 2nd half, which led to Widdop going over was world class.
Don't know what the video ref was thinking when he chalked off Brown's try this isn't ballet
Then they went straight down the other end and killed the game off.
If we play like we did in the second half we can compete against the Aussies but if we see a performance like that in the 1st half we'll get murdered.
