But no, the reality is you actually missed a gilt-edged opportunity there.

I think parts of the game he did really well.

You look at that kind of hot spell that we had in the second half where we get the two tries and then we're pushing for a third.

His ability to pull defenders out of the line, play long, play short, he carried the ball well himself a few times, was really good.

But you're talking about a 15-minute spell.

There was...

parts of his game that he'll be disappointed with.

And I think he'll be frustrated with players around him as well.

There's a couple of opportunities that he would have wanted players to do different things than what they did.

And you think, the game's really getting away from us at 29-0.

We get a good opportunity around our 10-meter line.

The game's kind of breaking up at this stage.

And...

He's got Crowley on his shoulder, and Nick Timney runs a short line, and then Jacob is kind of on the long ball.

And I just think it's a combination of poor communication, poor running lines, and then a poor option taking from Prendergast.

It's always a multitude of things that's going to result in an intercept like that.

But that was a disappointing passage of play for me.

And I'm not looking for you to toast him.

I think the inconsistency of it.

Even in the first half, we're trying to get ourselves back into it.
