Just watched a bit of the highlights on AP site cause I missed the first try.
How the hell was that advantage over! IMHO a pathetic decision by the ref, we were still behind the gainline.
Also for the second try at least Tonks give it has all to chase the kick. Did you notice Coka just jogging to it? No commitment, if he had the receiver would have been flattened.
Little things but given the final scoreline, they mattered.
You're having a laugh aren't you? Tonks did not give it his all to get to the receiver and no wonder he was bloody miles out starting on pretty much the other side of the pitch. Steele had a stab at it, but didn't get that close. Even so... How do you expect anyone to cover that much ground (Tonks or Joe) to flatten the receiver?
Yes the kick was a little too long but Tonks was trying and made it to the receiver but didn't execute the tackle. Joe was barely jogging and didn't try to tackle. Steele wasn't even in the frame for any of this, so I don't know what that is about. Have you watched the replay? You can find them here.
Highlights
In fact I don't think we are even talking about the same bit on reflection. I am talking the leadup when Tonks kicks and chases not the actual kick for the try.
