In the cold light of the next day
Fuck that was good from NSW. You will not see rugby league back play better than that. Every single NSW back had a fucking field. There was space everywhere, and they exploited it ruthlessly. And their "structure" was to have no structure, just turn up and attack.
They were allowed that space by the NSW forwards dominating without doing anything except getting metres and playing the ball fast. Yeo was huge, so was Saifiti. Everything fed off that.
Throw in a relentless NSW defensive performance that was too fast for Qld to handle, and the margin is pretty much bang on
Qld were dogshit, and aided some of the above. No line speed on defense, no solid shots to stop momentum, not enough numbers in tackles. And it seemed they were so scared of 6-again they just allowed the ruck to be lightening. I mentioed it during the game, but the NSW ruck speed was touch-like. With the ball they had nothing. The outside backs couldn't even make the defensive line early in the set, while the forwards did fuck all. Too many flash edge players and far too little through the middle.
Quitting with a quarter of an hour to go was gutless and will make things very hard to turn around. Not sure what Green does, the new interpretations have made it impossible for out-matched sides to kill the game and keep it close.
Well done NSW, that was really fucking awesome to witness.

@mariner4life to be fair, also you did lose a starting prop very early due to a head clash with as Raz put it, the worlds fastest brick. Interestingly the brick showed no signs of decay! That certainly impacts the rotation and go fforward through the middle.
NSW out enthused QLD in defense as you say which is normally a hall mark of every QLD side
those outside backs were incredible to watch when the play started to break up..some scary talent there and fun to watch from othe blue side of the fence

a game played under those circuntances i can't think of a team in history that could compete with that backline last night. Creative fast strong players everywhere.

No loss for me.
I agree there were rumours earlier this week, he was leaving, to be honest Ken and the Fus have been playing like neither really wants to be there for the last 18 months.
The resigning of Bunty was the better news for me this week, still not sure on the signing of Aaron Pene (storm), but we shall see.

He was big but defensively not great IMHO. And he wasn't the quality finisher that Fus was

Will the last NZer at the Warriors please turn out the lights?
Maybe we'll start winning stuff then....
Just support the Storm or Roosters then?
Just being glib. I'm sure we will have a fair few kiwi players
At the Storm, yeah definitely.
The Warriors have shed a lot of NZ players under the new regime, and they mostly get replaced by Aussies. I'm on record as not wanting to watch a franchise made up of Aussies. I may as well just support a Sydney team if that was the case. If only Glebe and Sydney Uni were still in the comp.

I know a guy who works for the Warriors. They have a big academy programme so there will be players coming through in the next few years

Well, this is what you get for saying dumb shit like this
It's reported they are signing absolute spud DWZ from the Dogs
If it's for.any more than a can of coke and a pie each game then we are getting screwed over.
The Dogs are awful and yet their fans are still happy to see him go. That should say everything

DWZ always performs for the Kiwis and was good with Penrith so I’ll hope we get that version. 😀
I haven’t followed how he’s gone at the Bulldogs.
