    2020 Origin II - NSW 34-10 QLD @ ANZ

    Apparently Cordner could be out for the rest of the series due to concerns about his head knocks which whilst unfortunate for Boyd is fantastic news for NSW. I like Cordner but he's a defensive liability, his lateral movement is non existent and he's very susceptible to late footwork (And head...

    Likewise, signing a 32 year old Pearce long term is salary cap suicide

    Nsw had zero go forward when Saifiti wasn't on the field

    2020 Origin I - QLD 18-14 NSW @ Adelaide

    That game was an almost exact replica of game 1 last year where NSW just had zero go forward early in the second half. I think Freddy's middle forward rotation left alot to be desired, Payne Haas who averages about 70 mins a game only got 26 minutes of game time despite nsw being down a middle...

    Nsw with arguably the worst 25 minute period they could've possibly come up with

    Btw Cordner has the lateral agility of a pensioner

    Always the fear with Gutho in the centres

    NSW Team - way too early speculation

    Trbojevic will most likely move into the front row when Murray comes on, both Murray and Crichton have played middle and edge this year and Haas is obviously a middle being a prop so not sure how you calculated 1 middle forward

    2020 was statistically one of his best years, form wasn't an issue so much as being the victim of terrible coaching

    That's the issue, glimpses.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Both the Saifiti boys run hard, hot hard and have leg speed, for me it's not so much about mongrel, leg speed, aggression but footwork, none of our forwards have any sort of late footwork, look at guys like Kikau, Yep, Liam Martin, etc all have abit of footwork and can play before the line, none...

    That's the thing, it's not about individuals, aggression starts with line speed

    Rumoured Targets 3

    In previous years yes but I honestly think with the new rules it's really taken the aggression and mongrel out of the game. Refs aren't rewarding dominant tackles, you touch the opposition half even a split second after they've no kicked/passed and it's a penalty, slightest bit of niggle after a...

    That's if Watson can stay on the field which is a massive if

    Rumoured Targets 3

    The point I'm trying to make is having those aggressive enforcers isn't what's going to win you a comp but rather having balance and the impact, we don't need D Saf and klemmer to play like JWH, what we do need is the right players around them. Our edge backrowers this year weren't good enough...

    I think aggression is an over stated thing under the new rules. Look at penriths pack, how many overly aggressive players are there in that pack? Same as the storm, how many old school enforcers do they have?

    Rumoured Targets 3

    I think Klem and D Saf were victims of the ineptitude around them as well as the game plan. D Saf was one of the best props in the NRL this year, averaged 144m per game despite his minutes being down after injury and averaged 10.4m per carry which is amongst the best in the league. He also had 6...
