NRL 2024

This is so hard to watch.
After 30 minutes we get our first set inside the Titans 20 and we come up with an error on tackle 2, then give away a penalty and put the Titans hot on attack and they score again.
24-0.
I can’t watch any more of this, I’m turning it off.
Glad I’m not on the Warriors bandwagon. They seem inconsistent as ever. Not sure why they get so much hype in the media these days.

How's the refereeing been?
-
That was as bad as I’ve seen us for some time. Could make a bunch of comments about how our forwards defended, the high error rate, that lack of effective kicks (and chases), but not worth it.
We are still a chance, but can’t see it happening this season. Something has seriously derailed.

Ummmm.....WOW!

Went to the pub (which is helpfully just next door) with colleagues to watch the game.
Seems like it was a 50/50 crowd.
Not surprising as tourists from cold climbs come to Port Douggie in school holidays.
Really surprised NSW supporters didn't break out the old

what the actual fuck was that?
Firstly, NSW were so impressive. Their outside backs starting with Edwards got every set off to a good start, then their forwards just rolled us, and their halves were taking the ball on the run, and did what ever they wanted. On the flipside Qld did none of that.
Hard to pick stand outs for NSW because everyone was big, the outsides ran hard and scored, the centres ran hard and scored. The halves put the ball where it was needed. Their back row ran hard, smashed everything that moved, and played the ball really fucking fast. Payne Haas just rolled guys. Their bench lifted everyone when they came on. Really impressive performance.
For Qld the exact opposite. Reece Walsh had an absolute shocker. He's in very poor form this year, and this game was everything that is wrong with him as a player. The wingers didn't do much because they were constantly working off their own line (and the Qld kicking game was off). Holmes was given nothing, and had a mare defensively. Hammer scored as usual, but was shut down otherwise. The halves had nothing to work with (credit to Deardon who kept trying despite Moses towelling him up). But up front Qld were awful. In a huge shock Su'a, Kaufusi and Capewell added nothing. No one put hard shoulders in. They lost contact on both sides of the ball.
Qld need to make changes. Can Billy admit he got it wrong and actually make them? Get David Fifita in FFS

on the plus side, i get to go to a decider at Suncorp.
-
Perhaps Billy's plan is to have Reece concussed and NSW play with 12 for the match?
-
Brutal game, it actually appeared NSW finally understood Origin. Whether or not they can replicate that effort next time, knowing that Queensland will be hell bent on redemption is the big unknown.
NSW still looked vulnerable when they were down to 12 and when you play defensively aggressive there is always a risk you will lose a player. However they had done the damage before it occured this time.
Lets see if they can all make the decider and not get suspended while playing for their own teams in the interim. A few of them play pretty close to the line.
Billy what did Dfif do to you? Seriously WTF
and Nico who? Great ball player but is he even really a 7?
