@ACT-Crusader And played 8 mins in origin 2.
Is Slater being forced to play him or something, similar to NSW selections in the past?
-
well, shit.
Congratulations NSW, the better side for most of the series, and thus deserving winners.
I see Billy had a whinge about Klein, who is shit, but it wasn't Ashley who picked the team there Bill.
Game played out exactly like we all thought it would. NSW absolutely dominant in the first half, and for Qld to turn in front was testament to some outstanding defense. Qld were slowly working back in to the game, and actually looked to be getting on top when that first fucking try happened. Credit to Luai, took a ball on the ground from a scrubby offload and turned it in to a try. The Qld had like 2-3 minutes of madness and there was your final score.
Qld never looked like scoring a try all night TBH. We lost the middle, and NSW had the pace out wide to deal was some very horizontal attack.
Deardon was the best player on the field, pity he had no help. I hate Reece Walsh more now than i did at 7.30 last night. Capewell was a net zero, no fuck ups, tackled well, but nothing with ball in hand. That's a better score than most of the other forwards. Carrigan probably the only other forward to come out with his reputation intact. Val Holmes actually played well last night I'll give him that. DCE, Hunt and Grant all very poor.
You need a re-think Billy, because NSW are in front of you now. They have better players in a lot of positions (Edwards is a freak) and their forwards pumped us.
Back to club land where the Warriors are... shit...

oh, and live Origin game at Suncorp is definitely an awesome experience.

think he was credited with 6 missed tackles, still had more impact than Kaufusi though lol
To be fair on Grant he even hasn't played for Melbourne due to back spasms, so he probably needled up to get out there and consistently raised his hand to put his body in first in front of Leniu, which is also why I can forgiven him for getting stepped late by Moses
With Walsh also looking injured early and a Ponga on the bench, Im surprised he wasn't used earlier
Lots of walking wounded, I would be surprised if many backed up except for most Cowboys who Cotter has already declared they are ok.
Ola, Murray - suspended, Capewell x2 fines, (10 players charged) Carrigan moon boot, Edwards injured, Walsh injured, Moses injured lol list goes on

he did put in a couple of real strong ones though.

i've just read some player ratings. Reece Walsh is the most sucked-off, overrated player in the league and it is not close
-
So looks like Capewell and Barnett back up, have to respect that even if I am unlikely to respect final result
Crowdstrike tech issue likely to impact live coverage of the game though already being reported, could be old school bunker

We're a mile off the pace. Kiss the season good bye
