what are u on about Farah has been good the whole match ,he just needs to take control cause hes been in everything

hes the only player finding space with hes kicks too

Solid kicking game, thats all he has shown.

 

[TimmyB]

Hayne has been bloody incredible. Creagh and Farah have been very good.

Campese has been pretty ordinary (Skeepe that kick was going like a rocket, Hayne was freakish to turn it into a try) and Wallace has been worse.

Farah's 3 kicks have been the Blues' best of the game. He needs to be greedier with the ball, Wallace is playing awful and butchering everything (I'm usually a fan of Wallace).

 

[TheBourbonBeast]

The only bad decision made by the refs was the forward pass in the nsw try...other than that - perfect

 

[Raider_69]

BTW i think Ben Creagh has been far and away NSW's best. Jennings looks likely, lots of half breaks, might be a factor later in the game.
But the key to this next half is Campo and Wallace picking up the kicking game. Farah looked good early but went into his shell abit late in the half

 

[Harold Bishop]

Is it just me or is Weyman really really slow to getting on his feet after being tackled? Usually he is a lot faster for the Dragons, but is taking an eternity to get up.

 

[Angry_eel]

How sh*t is Weyman. Not one good run so far.

 

[Ref2009]

hi there this is finchys son, suttors mum or whoever else you like to call me (but correctly my names james) when i agree with the decisions of the refs becuase there correct and yous are wrong here

well i must agree tonight officiating is a disgrace. It has wrecked the game. What happened to benefit of the doubt? what happened to being able to catch a ball? its rediculous. Disgracefull officiating...some good decsions but overall poor performance from the whole team except the touchys thus far.

 

[sretsoor]

Because he thought Creagh wasn't tackled. No tackled call from the ref, so it was still play on. The ref might have got it wrong, but not Crocker.

The arm carrying the ball hit the ground - meaning he is tackled.

 

[ElectricEelMan]

lol the nsw fans at my house reckon the ref is cheating em too...tis funny.

Umm ... ahve you actually been watching the game?

Some of the decisions against NSW have been some of the worse decisions EVER!

I mean FFS Creagh got penalised for being tackled whilst trying to play the ball. Has anyone seen worse call then that one?

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

Solid kicking game, thats all he has shown.

he did set up the hayne no try and the laffranchi run which got us the penalty to go 2-0 up.

Done well I thought.

Physics, learn it.

 

[RABK]

Campese - Creagh - Jennings - Hayne

That side is the key... get the ball out there as much as possible. All 4 looks dangerous with the ball in hand, Hodges is gone...

 

[TimmyB]

Also, is it just me or was Gidley's positioning for the Thurston and Slater tries poor?

And Campese should not be allowed kick in general play.

the one where hayne got penalised for taking hodges(??) out.

 

[edabomb]

A couple of poor calls

The Hayne penalty leading to the Inglis try

The Creagh penalty

The Creagh try

Not too one-sided

You forgot the Hayne try. Still evens?

 

[Raider_69]

Campese - Creagh - Jennings - Hayne

That side is the key... get the ball out there as much as possible. All 4 looks dangerous with the ball in hand, Hodges is gone...

agreed
we've looked likely to score every time its gone down that side close to the line

Cant believe that Hayne try wasnt awarded. :crazy:

 

[Raider_69]

the one where hayne got penalised for taking hodges(??) out.

Beau Champion did that exact thing to Jared Croker on the weekend, eyes on the ball and took out a player, it was let go. Now its a penalty?!

 

[Rovelli]

Talking points:

We know who has stood out for NSW - Creagh, Farah, Hayne - all been good

Hayne's heel was in the air (and thus not out)?

QLD showed their class, going bang, bang, bang in 7 minutes

NSW can put plays on in QLD's 20 if given a chance

NSW must score first in the 2nd half to make things interesting.

Should have played Mullen over Wallace. Morris over Mcmanus
