    Nsw are a prop short. Queensland were rolling them when frizz was at prop/ one of rcg-klem were off. Need trbjovic to lock and drop jdb and bring in a prop, or at the very least switch Crichton for Sims.

    Neither will happen so hopefully they just manage the bench better

    Other than that it was really well coached

    I thought Maloney should’ve been man of the match.

    Crichton plays too much unstructured footy and just isn't good enough at it yet to really deserve a position at SOO level.

    I get that Freddy wants a forward on the bench with a bit more skill but that's exactly what Peachey is.

    I thought we really lost a lot in aggression when Klemmer, RCG & De Bellin were all off the field at the same time. RCG & De Bellin coming back onto the field really turned the momentum back in our favour.

    If Hunt isn't good enough to be our 80 minute halfback then he shouldn't be in the starting team. It was ridiculous of Walters to pick Morgan, our best utility at 1, and then force Hunt to play 9 when McCullough needed a rest.

    Not picking Ponga, even on the bench so he could come on at 1, was fucked.

    Hahaha, was going to post wondering what you thought of Maloney's performance tonight.

    Chambers was a fucking joke. If they wanted to bring Milford on, they should have hooked him and put Munster in the centres.

    Who would you pick though?

    I would've said Dale Finucane or Junior Paulo but both are injured.

    I wonder if we could pick Martin Taupau under the current rules?

    Shannon Boyd? Trent Merrin? Nathan Brown? Aaron Woods?

    Agreed. Cunt was absolute pus.

    I think I'd be promoting Arrow to the 13, move McGuire to front row and put Napa on the bench. Arrow is too good to leave out, but a rubbish player from the bench.

    Fuck Damien Cook is incredible. Lock him in for the Australian 9 jersey. What a god.

    Napa was one of the few forwards who actually took it to NSW.

    Scott should be recalled even if only on the bench. We had fuck all go-forward for so much of that match. Just back the cunt to do a Nate Myles and lift for Origin. 9m a run is great even if he only takes 5 or 6 charges. Like Napa, he adds serious aggression too.

    I didn't even notice Chambers knee originally but no wonder Cook was down for so long.

    Cheap cunt.

    Agree 100%

    That spot should go to someone with more impetus in their carry. Maybe Sims?

    I really don't know to be honest, I don't watch enough footy any more to really have a good idea. I just thought it was a very obvious lul in our attack, Fifita would've been perfect but of course he's a spastic.

    I think RCG would be better suited coming off the bench than Woods and Woods has been good in the past, so perhaps Woods starting, Campbell-Gillard of the pine.


    At the very least I think having Tariq in place of Crichton is important, he'd be a better option to throw in the middle than Frizzel.

    Loved watching nsw get up, but fuck it was frustrating watching them finally pick someone who could run out of dummy half in Cook, watching him carve up then thinking back the last decade of shit we've dealt with for years. This site has been calling for legs out of dummy half for years.


    I think Walters would be made not to bring Scott in next start too.

    Also how angry are you Queenslanders at Smith for pulling the pin when he did? I haven't really been here, but thought it was pretty shit of him.

    Yeh, really shitty timing. Why wait like a week out from team selection to make that call?
