The ANZAC day game is becoming a Roosters tribute/love -in/circlejerk game. This game used to get 40+ pages and now gets less than 15. I dunno if it was gaping again or just the non-contest that limited the posts.
Will this fixture die like QLD SOO in 2005 or will Saints get it together and start to get ANZAC Day again? The only highlights for me was the Corey Horsborough lookalike on fan cam and the Finau try.

I'm very disappointed in the saints

They have a long history of over achieving on ANZAC against us. The last two years have been abysmal and I would say this year was worse than last. Last year we were a legit top 4 side and the game just got away from you, this year there was absolutely no reason for that not to be a competitive contest.

People laughing at Andrew John’s calling for Marky Mark to be included in the NSW origin squad. He’s spot on. This year might be too soon but if he continues his trajectory he’ll be impossible to leave out next year. What an absolute weapon.

Yeah this year probably a bit over the top but he has taken to the game well and is improving every week. I think wing is where he needs to stay as well.

Don't see any way young gets back in the side except for injuries and even then Pauga might be a better option.

I liked him at centre as he gets a bit more room but yeah maybe wing for now.

Thinking about it Id probably have him next in line after Too, Lomax and Kiraz for NSW, so a couple of injuries and he'd be right in the mix. Hes played big games for the Wallabies so wouldnt be over awed.

Hey!

With our halves and mental capacity, we did over achieve yesterday. So stick that in your latte.

Mark's defence needs work though, which is why at this stage of his career, wing is probably a better spot for him.
