[QUOTE="Peat, post: 802741, member: 42330"] I don't think there was ever any argument over that! Honestly don't think Burrell was that bad. I guess maybe Eddie was thinking Faz at 12 equals a more aggressive charge out (cos they were passing it from one side to the other in front of us with no dramas) but that didn't pay out too hot. Maybe he wanted Ford as an extra cool head and organiser - I think the main attraction was someone to get some territory. While some had quite the reverse Midas touch. That was genuinely the worst performance you'll ever see score 39 points. Credit to how clinical we were (i.e. Ford and Faz's goal kicking) and our cool under pressure (only 8 penalties conceded while making a number of ruck turnovers is *big*) but our ability to exit our own territory was abysmal, our defence let them do what they like, we struggled with removing Pocock and are very lucky Australia gifted us ten points while failing to take nine (just from kicks, nevermind two turnovers on our own line and a try scratched off for crossing). Feel free to suggest any I should adjust :) [/QUOTE]
