They did mate that’s why they had territorial advantage, their backs couldn’t deliver. Anyway, back to the point, Martin is a top player that’s why he is in the Australian team and a very successful side. To say otherwise is being dishonest.
Take away Yeo which other Penrith forward really stood out? I don’t think any did. Martin for me was pretty average along with the vast majority of the Penrith pack. I’m not being dishonest or disrespectful I was genuinely disappointed in the Penrith pack. Farrell’s best days are behind him but he still matched a younger opposition player whose team dominated the possession. To put it into perspective I don’t think Farrell stood out hence why I said I didn’t think the Penrith second row played particularly well because non of the Penrith second rowers stood out.
Obviously Zig it’s all about opinions. I respect your opinion but I don’t need to agree to it. Likewise, if my opinion is the opposite to yours it doesn’t mean I’m being dishonest it just means I viewed the game differently to you.
I stand by my views particularly on Cleary who again failed to deliver on UK soil. Do i think that Cleary is a supreme RL player. Absolutely. On the night though he was mediocre by his own very high standards. This debate started by the statement that Farrell wasn’t/isn’t international standard maybe Cleary could be falling into this category. Do i think that? No I don’t but if he comes over to the UK again and once more fails to live up to his nrl standards then I’d certainly start to question it.
