Busting open bottle with teeth shows the true grit of NSW. Thaiday usually squeezes stubbies between his tits to crack open beers.
I don't know about that. The majority of our forward pack is used to playing 60-80mins week to week. With the rotation they had, most got a good 50mins playing time, which probably helped us a lot with consistency on the field. We have a limited amount of interchanges that we can use, and thus there can only be so many minutes that can go around.

Hayne just shut up a few haters.
Congrats NSW. Must say very confident for next game. Qld play for 20mins and lose by one try, but see what happens.
Toss up between Jennings or Lewis MOM, but I'll take Lewis
They have used utilities off the bench before. You need that cover in the halves, and I am sure that they will have DCE on the bench next game, they could have used him tonight to replace Thurston.
IMO you don't need a utility like Reynolds.
He was the wrong call from Daley.
Personally I'd prefer grant in there , but Sutton would have played minutes tonight and taken pressure off the other forwards.
He shuts up haters every year come origin...... they always return the next year
just noticed i have blue body paint all over my old fella....
love origin
Queensland have put players on the bench whose form demands they be there, those players have also been there to prepare them for future roles. Cronk was on the bench preparing him to take over in the halves once Lockyer retired. Reynolds isn't there for any of these reasons. He is there for the sake of having a utility... A utility which didn't even get used
What if Cam Smith went down?The bench has to have cover for hooker. Imagine if Farah went down early and there was no one who could slot in at 9.
The selectors got it right tonight IMO, even if Reynolds wasn't required.
