His man didn't get the ball. He gambled and lost, but he had to gamble and the odds were long whatever he chose.

im not saying they wouldnt have scored if he hadnt shot out, they prob would have, im just saying if you make your mind up to come out of the line then you have to make the tackle or suffer. i thought he did well last night, 2 chances 2 tries and ran the ball back well all night

There was no line! He was the lst man with three Kiwis running at him from 20 metres out. Morley not sliding quick enough and the centre jamming in when not needed caused the problems. At times we do not seem to know if we are playing a sliding defence or a man on man and that is what is causing the problems when the ball gets shifted.
He did well, his work running it up from kicks was more impressive than his tries for me.
WEST COAST PIRATES NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......

He was in a damned if he did damned if he didn't situation. He was one on 3, if he'd have stayed on the wing the centre would have gone through the huge gap left by Bridge. If fox was to blame for the 1st then Briscoe was to blame for the 4 Autralian tries that came down his wing (which he wasn't).
Overall I thought fox looked a little nervy early on but once he got settled he lloked pretty good, took his tries well, took a very difficult high ball defensively and his only knock on came from being tackled before the ball got to him. Will be interesting to see how the team gets on as a whole at the weekend against a team that wont turn over the ball anything like as much as NZ did this week.

Not according to some of your more 'blinkered' fans on VT, he was poor as was Briscoe. Why doesn't it suprise me that the two who should be dropped are our players, everyone else was fine
