OT - WESTPAC NSW BLUES SQUAD

[Special K]

Nicho never played as bad as our halves in this game so far.

I hope they pull it out. Amazing Moses has become our clutch guy.

A couple of key points:

1. The moment NSW appointed Laurie Daley was the moment I knew we would lose the series.
2. Robson - He is only getting to dummy half for 2 or 3 tackles per set - I absolutely agree that Brailey would be well suited to Origin. He may as well through Watson on for the second half.
3. NSW always take the lazy options - always have, always will.
4. QLD could win this by 40 or 50 points tonight - this will be an 80 minute performance.
5. This may be a pre-curser to Friday Night's game between the blue team and the red team.

Nicho kicked one ball dead by about one extra roll then played the remainder of the game with 12 men and got his cards marked. This has been bad so far tonight.

 

[Quigs]

oh dear this is not munch fun.

One side is using the ball perfectly and the other side is playing old style flanno ball.

It looks like it could be a very long week for moi.

And I've got Friday to look forward to.

NSW as impotent as Cronulla.

 

[glenmoresharkie]

That was an all time stinker.

 

[sharknows]

Laurie Daley absolute master coach….maybe the Sharks could sign him

 

[Peach & Apricot]

Another fail by Laurie Daley!

Robson was also a fail at hooker. Brailey should be selected next time.

100%

When madge left and they started to throw his name up that right there showed NSW will never get SOO.

That's okay. It's just origin. It only works if QLD win.

It's the bogans in Qld who drive it.
Qld win about 70% of the time. If it was the opposite it wouldve died years ago.

It's unique in the world of sport.
A two team competition that only works if one side keeps winning.

Why do you all watch it, I don't get it.
I never watch it, I have no interest it.
It is same as finals so as we are out, I don't watch another game, as no interest in watching the remainder of teams

This.
But I suspect there’s some level of happiness in seeing good / overrated players go at it.

 

[Generalzod]

I feel sorry for all those supporters who bought tickets to watch this contrived game.

I like watching good footy. Cronulla can't play good footy so I need to access it elsewhere.

NSW as impotent as Cronulla.

Poofy sky blue jerseys!

 

[Quigs]

First handling mistake in the 69th minute and they let the ball do the talking all game. Very hard not to be impressed biggly.

Gawd I'd rejoice if our mob (Sharks) could replicate something like that.

Right now I get excited if our blokes get through the first set without a f**k up.

They (the bastards) were just too good for us. Simple as that.

 

[Frenzy.]

Whenever this current cohort of NSW players face adversity they slip into to Pantherball and it does not work at this level. It is missing too many components of Pantherball e.g. a DH who actually gets to the ruck as Fiz said. OMG how badly did Yeo overplay his hand last night, Get out of the frikkin' way man.

Daley's penchant for carrying cripples into games every series is also folly.

 

[Weaponhead]

Take Payne Haas out of that pack and they have nothing.

Take Payne Haas out of that pack and they have nothing.

Not to mention the NRL round by round game plan of using up the back 5 while the forwards bludged is not SOO quality IMO

Qld let the forwards do forward things. SOO style. NSW killed off their own weapons by using the threats as pack mules.

It's a different game Lozza.

	Qld metres run	NSW metres run
Back 5	687	995
Forwards (less hooker)	810	597

 

[Weaponhead]

When under pressure, they revert to Pantherball which doesn't work at this level.

 

[Cheese sandwich]

Having an utter imbecile as the coach is issue #1 and easily solved. Unless in true NSW fashion they go for yet another imbecile like Fittler.
