DK, there is no implied criticism of the crew in the ATSB report. One would surmise that after the engine failed at TOD then a fuel leak may have been one of the scenarios discussed. Better to keep the crossfeeds closed in this case, descend and land on three rather than pump your remaining fuel overboard.

Sounds like the crew did a good job to me.
