The way all the halves are playing it'd be Anasta, Kimmorley at the moment wouldn't it? Hurts to say that

If Wallace keeps playing like he did on Fri night then he will be halfback for the Blues there is no doubt.

Campese, like the rest of the Raiduhs, was awful and has done little to deserve an Origin berth yet.

Very proud of the boys, an excellent defensive effort. The attack will get better over time hopefully. Our kicking game still needs an enormous amount of work.

p.s. Good old Pillow :lol:

Talks it up all week then delivers a big fat creampuff zero. Where have I seen him do that before ?

He has it in him, i know he does. There's some days where he plays fantastic because quite simply he has a go (and obviously got stuck into someone's bottle of angry pills ;-)). But they are all too rare days. He's still fairly young though, so who knows how he'll end up.

It used to be agony, now it's utter joy. :D

We desperately need a half who knows how to organise the team. Campese can't do it all on his own. He tried, but got absolutely no support from Herbert. As for the rest of the team, bar Josh Miller and Tom Learoyd-Lahrs, they may as well not have bothered to turn up.

Oh and Maxwell and Sutton should never ref first grade again. You watch that game and then the others over the weekend, and the speed of the play the balls was diabolical. Both teams were allowed to spend forever on the tackled player and the game suffered as a result. It's clear that the two muppets in pink have absolutely zero control over the players.

And before anyone suggests I'm saying the refs cost us the game, I'm not. The incompetence went both ways, and the scoreline probably flattered the Raiders in the end.

wort game i've seen us play at bruce in 3 years. Roosters were kind to us, should have beat us 40-nil. The score line definitely flattered us. We were terrible.

He's had that nickname from us for about 3 years now. I have a suspicion it could soon catch on in Canberra
