I wasn't. Just interested in your opinion of Stuart. I mean obviously he's got serious issues to be picking King (and IMHO Snowden as well) for a third game after the way they've played in the first two. Fair enough. I'd drop him to send him a message that he needs to rise up to that level before playing again. They're here to win a series. Not hope that in two years he finally comes good. Tolman and Mannah would've shit all over King and Snowden's efforts on Wednesday night.
My opinion of Stuart is pretty low. I just thought I'd give credit where credit was due, and it was with the Jennings selection, in a way.
I even think Snowden getting the axe is totally justified. He was defending for alot of his first spell but thats no excuse. He looked so unfit and out of his element out there. Treated it like a club game and got treated played accordingly.
Again, this is coming from someone who's posts are attacked every single time they're made on this site, because you're so full of shit and such a dumb kent.
YowYeh had a strip on him called a dropped ball too so they cancel each other out IMO. The pass could have gone either way, Pearce's fault for being retarded and doing a cutout to his fullback off a kickoff. Tackle in mid air should have been picked up.
I think these ratings are near what I began to write up, probably would've given Dugan a 7 though as he knocked on a grubber that he really should've just dived on in NSW red zone. I also thought Uate was nearer a 7-7.5. As for King he deserved a 0.
Uate wasn't better than Dugan IMO. Yeah he probably should've dived on it but he still saved about 3 tries that night so he more than made up for it.
A lot of people are going to look awfully stupid if NSW get well-beaten in Game 2. All this crap about actually playing better than QLD in Game 1 or NSW merely having to pick better props to win for sure...
Yeah I get a bit of a chuckle out of that. Just because NSW had good goal line defence doesn't mean they'd played better. It does mean that they defended their goal line better in terms of tries, but QLD built up a ton of pressure with repeat sets, they'd won the battle of the forwards and possesion, two keys points of a match.
