Hmmmmm..... I hope Lichaa is having a bad night. He can be the strongest runner out of DH, but if he doesnt speed up his service, its going to hurt us big time
Look at the forward pack England have and then look at Lebanons, no doubt he will strugfle because of that.

I think he's being neutered. Farah is telling him what he can and can't do. And half the time Farah is stealing his position.
I dont think Farah is telling him to throw slow sloppy passes...

Might just be a bad night. I hope

Soccer has refs of different nations reffing unlike NRL. It takes out the bias factor.

Samoa vs Tonga = Aussie ref

England vs Lebanon = English ref makes sense lol @ the NRL

Yep.

I'm happy that next year we will play to his strengths BUT you still need the very basics of dummy half play. And that's good service and his is lacking BIG time.

At some stages next year in games we are going to need a quick flat ball to a half on the advantage line and he simple can't do it. It's slow, takes a big step and his spiral looks forced.
I wish i didnt watch this match. Has got me a bit more worried about 2018

Must admit, it's good to see Abu-Sleiman playing again. He had so much potential for us but just couldn't live up to it.

Nah, that's just Lichaa. That's the concern everyone has. Lichaa has proven that he's explosive out of dummy half but his service has never been great.

Just the quality of his passes... i am not judging him on anything else this game because they can't match the poms anywhere.

All i am looking at it how he services the ball from the ruck to the first receiver.

Keep in mind that we have Lichaa and Nu'Brown next year. So if Lichaa is struggling we have decent backup.

Wouldn't be surprised if we play a 2 hooker game.

Anything else to watch, something more believable, like a cartoon? Lol
