English led Pitto a merry dance around the ground and ran away from him several times to create a link. Having said that, I thought Pitto was very, very good in the ruck contests (particularly boundary throw ins) because he played a couple of metres in front and blocked English's run - I was surprised that he didn't have a free kick paid against him.
Unless he was injured, I can't understand whey Kemp was omitted. Apart from his recent performances, his presence freed up Young to play back-up ruck to good effect whereas Silvagni was way too small to offer the same contest. Having said that, I thought Jack contested his heart out (when doesn't he) as a spoiler. Also, surely Kemp would have offered much more as a sub than Ed.
