Chase isn't given any responsibility in attack, so it must be hard for him to impose himself.

1. Tomkins - anonymous, poor on taking the high ball - 5 2. Hall - tried hard, did as much as a winger could be expected to do to try and change the game - 8 3. Reed - Didnt really notice him - 7 4. Yeaman - poor, him and Briscoe didnt seem switched on at all - 4 5. Briscoe - same as Yeaman - 4 6. Sinfield - tried hard, good pass for Hall's try, not expansive enough though and kicking not great - 6 7. Chase - always tries hard, I like his aggression in defence, but simply didn't do enough - 5.5 8. Graham - worked his balls off, can hold his head high - 8 9. Roby - worked hard, some good runs from DH, but occasionally too slow distribution hampering 5th tackle kicks - 7.5 10. Peacock - tried hard, but that knock to his knee is obviously hampering him, good in first half, not very effective in 2nd - 6.5 11. Wilkin - solid, tries to do something different but not much happening - 6 12. Ellis - works hard as always but was expecting more from him - 6 13. Westwood - disappointing after last week. Got a big knock early on which seemed to affect him - 5.5
14. Widdop - did ok, but enough time really - 5.5 15. Morley - One of our better forwards, strong runs and strong defence - 7 16. Jones-Buchanan - Did well I thought, adds some speed and dynamism to the back row - 7 17. Carvell - The odd decent run but nothing that noteworthy - 5.5

He isn't good enough at 6 at international level. Pure and simple. For all the solidity his organisational qualities bring, he is the reason we didn't push them closer tonight.
Score at 8-8 with nearly an hour played and we are on the Australian 10m line with a full set. Sinfield steps up as ever and pops two of his trademark short lateral passes that are around the ears of the runners. All the pressure gone and so were our chances. He did it again the next time we were in that position and it characterises the 4Nations for England. The pack has laid a decent enough platform but we've not been able to apply any pressure at all when it mattered.
He was dreadful today.
I'm one of them and I'm here. Sinfield had a very average final by his own high standards (as in my opinion did many England players) Last week, however, he had a hand in 20 out of England's 28 points and there are still know-nowts on hear claiming he was terrible. In the final, despite his below par showing, he had a hand in all England's points. Tomorrow Sinfield will still be a great player and you will still be tragically blinkered.

Hall got a bit of a panning by Peter Sterling at half time.

Saying he was positionally poor in defence?
