If Freddie could coach, NSW would be celebrating 5 in a rowthis is all on fitler, in so many ways - be real, that qld side shouldnt win a game, let alone 2
I am never usually a defeatist but I am a realist and thought once Munster was out that was too big of a hill to climb.be real, that qld side shouldnt win a game, let alone 2
In my humble opinion kick pressure, along with line speed and good kick chase are cornerstones. Even just wrapping up the kicker to ensure he can't run through and put someone on side. If you can snap the **** early even better, even cop a penalty or 2 it will put a little more hesitation in them.It was evident quite quickly that QLD had come to play.
Every time Cleary got the ball on the last for his kick he was tackled. Every time DCE got the ball for his kick we barely touched him.
I'm not so sure about that.I am never usually a defeatist but I am a realist and thought once Munster was out that was too big of a hill to climb.
On paper that QLD side shouldn't get within 30. Let's not forget QLD came within a whisker or 2 of scoring 4 or 5 tries, it could have been a flogging.
NSW needed a utility on the bench, why wasn't Wighton selected?NSW just seem to lack the culture QLD have built. Part of that has to be down to Freddie. He hasn't handled these moments well. QLD rope-a-doped Fittler in game 2. The handling of RCG and JAC was also really poor. He'll need to answer for these, likely by losing his job.
Talakai was a pretty left field selection. He'd been in emerging blues camps, but to put him in ahead of one of your most blue-blooded players in Wighton... defies logic. Would things have been different if Wighton could have come into that contest instead of Talakai? Yes.
Teddy's great, but he doesn't have the x-factor moments Ponga can produce. Cleary can be great, but he doesn't have the experience to understand how to inject himself the way a DCE or Hunt does when the going gets tough. Luai... second fiddle to Cleary. Cook didn't produce anything of note... our 'big' players dropped well behind QLD's when it mattered.
You're thinking of Cook? He's a straight up and down hooker. So is Api.you had a utility on the bench, you just didnt use him like qld used theirs
Probably be Burton at 6, Latrell at left centre and Turbo at right centre.NSW needed a utility on the bench, why wasn't Wighton selected?
Teddy is great but sometimes I feel like Turbo is a better selection. Won't happen though because Teddy is a coach favourite.
I would like to see Burton at 6 next year also.
And JAC needs to be playing.
