Yeah can't be holding that one against him can you

I'm a bit torn on Barnett - he contributed to the bad start but I'd almost rather start him that plays a bit more aggressively, and then introduce AFB later.
The main issue for me is once again Murray isn't starting. 8 Haas 10 Yeo 13 Murray - you have Young and Olakau'atu to play a bit more aggressively and dynamically. Bring on Lucas' speed once Ola has softened them up.

Agree. It's not that hard is it?

Laurie Daley - “By the Thursday they need to be humming because you don’t want to take guys in that are underdone”. I'm not seeing how Moses could possibly be anything other than underdone then since he hasn't played in a month?

Wow. Media pin up boy Reece Walsh feeling the pressure. In an interview with QLD press he replied the following:

When pressed on whether he can lift for an Origin game following some lacklustre club form, Walsh said: “I think the only opinion that matters is you guys, I guess. How do you think I go?”

The reporter replied: “I think you go all right, a lot better than I can do. But what do you think of your form?”



All the **** questions that Nicho has had to answer over the years (ie. His mental health), imagine if he answered like this.
 
Might go watch this next week, got a ticket on hold encase I decide to go.
 
Is it just me, or is anyone else surprised that Isaah Yeo is still being selected at lock for NSW?

I just don’t rate him at rep level. He needs to play prop or not selected at all.

Cam Murray is the best lock in the game.

One of the biggest problems with sports media today is the lack of independent thinking.

Too many media personalities seem to follow the same narratives, talking points, and biases rather than forming their own opinions. At times, it feels like they’re simply echoing what others have already said instead of offering genuine analysis.

What’s most frustrating is that some commentary comes across as though the games haven’t even been properly watched. The same recycled opinions get repeated until they’re accepted as fact, while alternative viewpoints rarely get any airtime.

And when was the last time anyone in the media had something genuinely positive to say about the Sharks? Most weeks, when Cronulla wins, all I seem to hear is how poorly the other team played rather than any credit being given to the Sharks for how well they performed.

If you listen to Fitz's media pregame and compare it to the press conference post game you'll hear so many of the same questions asked. It's so tiresome. Genuinely all they have to do is watch the pre game video and they could save themselves the post game work.
