For NSW, the myth of Nathan Cleary grows ever more. Absolute rubbish game from him.
I see less and less people having issue with this take now he's not being carried by a wish list roster in Penrith.

Geez you go away for a few days and the Courier mail takes over the thread.
Great game last night even if the conditions were awful. Capewell wound back the clock for sure, Munster looked inspired and even Grant had arguably his best game of the year.
Tino versus Martin was fun to watch, as was Spencer vs Collins
Hammy plagued Too was a beast
Hudson Young showed why he deserved to be at that level with some great effort and minutes.
Some really great performances from both sides as well as mixed efforts from others.
Cleary hardly a Myth, playing with a groin strain that even his club were unaware of (dumb from Laurie) almost single handedly brought them back into the game with his no try (Stephano) . Technically correct call but on a very wet ground would have loved to see how close Pat would have got to stopping chasing from behind where momentum often carries players. Will never know but either way showed why he is dangerous even on one leg. As for last 5 minutes according to interviews they were trying to pull Toia out of the line again, which was the play that had brought them back into this game, but with the linespeed and accuracy this time well executed from Qld, the dump was a get out clause. Personally thought Stephen Chricton under used and they should have gone right but never did.
Interestingly Lomax, Critta and Latrell kick at just over 80% for the season, Cleary has 90% accuracy. Could have been the difference....It wasnt
and Im hardly going to complain about a tied series for the spectacle.Lastly NRL reviewers saw Luai incident as a facial not a eye gouge (I dont like either one personally, will be happy when even facials eventually get ruled out of the game), both received fines only
No one except the media cares about the penalty count, yeah rub of the green but didn't change any outcome and the six agains quite rightly pointed out came back to haunt Qld in second half.
Just a great origin battle regardless in awful conditions

undisputed best winger of all time.
Yes he's made for this "carry out of the back" era as his metre stats show. But he's also rock solid under the highball, an absolute weapon with a sniff of a try, and defensively great. A huge part of the Penrith dynasty.

Is that from his publicist or manager?

Mick Ennis, who is the national expert on Nathan's groin

well, @booboo doing a sparky on a game thread he didn't even like was a waste of 25 posts
Alcohol may have "helped".
Kind of lonely in that thread.

Our left edge defence got to be close to worst in the competition. DWZ injury allows an upgrade in winger for next week but today even those covering were just as poor.
As soon as Metcalf was injured attack also stalled. Hopefully not serious and hopefully Marata has no further issues after failing the cat 1 .
Penrith were good for a change today but we still should have put them away. Missed opportunity -

I'm going to the Roosters v Cowboys game tomorrow ... I was planning to take an Irish and English mate of mine to a Warriors game but none of their Sydney matches have worked out (first one we can all get to is the final round) so we picked the Roosters as obviously due to the fact they're Irish and Pom they live in the Eastern suburbs.
So anyway, which team should I support? Given that they're bound to lose I might go for the Cowboys in honour of @mariner4life.

Carn the cows!!!

Latrell is genuinely the best natural footballer in the comp
That pass was ridiculous
