NSW doesn't get Origin is just a nice way of saying that their coaching setup, selections and players are more often than not inferior to that of QLD over a 3 game series. It's less so a question of understanding as it is competence.

Hiroti and Burns are closer to a 7 for me, they have been good inclusions when called upon Brailey and AFB have carried this squad for most of the season though Better to have 2 blokes carry us than no one at all stepping up Not saying other players haven't made good contributions at times but...

His account took multiple shots to the head 6 or 7 at least, we don't know exactly

Worth mentioning 18 tackles for zero missed His offloads are quality Not stinking it up like some are making out Was good last game against Storm as well, 26 tackles for zero missed He does produce a good run here and there as well I think all these things add up and count for something It...

Sifa doesn't have the speed to get out of the line and pressure the halves like Teig does Tieg wears himself out though defs not a lazy player

3. Hynes 2. Brailey 1. Kennedy HM: Rudolf

Some good runs, much more output and effectiveness than Atko

With no longer having Jack Williams to come on from the bench it's even more important we keep Rudolf

It wasn't just the QLD defensive line pushing up in the middle, the edges were pushing up as well creating an umbrella type defense. Middle cut down the time and then the edges took away the options when spreading the ball. Even the brain dead commentators noticed and mentioned it in the first...

Has Fitz even lifted a finger to unclog a dunny in the sheds? Bloke is useless The problem is that the Steve Price theory defensive theory is to let them come to you and save energy And tbf we do need those energy reserves to keep walking back to half way to kick off

Ref is having an impact by helping NSW not be down by more! 2-3 NSW forward passes missed and QLD copped an utter nonsense disruptor call This is NSW incompetence against a team that has it's **** together when it matters as usual

Lomax

Classic NSW bottle job They do this so often

There are some fundamental issues with team selection and performance that a FG coach should not require advisors to highlight to get a response. It's the fundamental stuff with this team that let's it down more often than not. Alot of the **** talking directed towards the team and coach by...
