So if the first two games have shown us anything, it's that the team that features a Raider on debut wins. If NSW want to win game 3, all they have to do is pick Shaun Fensom.

I won't cop the Woods criticism. He did nothing wrong at all. Whenever he had an opportunity to run it he did. He didn't get pushed back at all. He made a lot of good tackles and got less game time than everyone on the park other than Reynolds.

Watch the first 20 again he got owned a few times

Aside from Merritt, keep the team for Game 3. Hayne at fullback again, Dugan to the wing.

Merritt let in 3 tries tonight, completely different game without his constant running in from the wing....

Fatty on the sin binning of 4 players: It was disgraceful.

I don't know if you remember you ranga stupid merkin, but you were the MOST VOCAL in the last game when Gallen punched the shit out of Myles and got put on report.

The rule change started with YOU.

f**k OFF. You reap what you sow.

I know I'm hopelessly in the minority but this conversation is getting a bit silly. The game doesn't need blokes punching each other in the face. It's unimportant.

Mate I am a Tigers fan I watched everything Woods and Farah did he didn't get owned at all. He didn't push the defence back at all in the TWO HITUPS he made but he didn't get pushed back. Both times he was hitting it up from inside his own twenty and Queensland were numbering up. You need to watch it again not me.

Reynolds isn't good without Inglis holding his hand! Merritt was exposed in the same way.

Mate Reynolds was great the 2 games South's have played without their origin players.

On Maloney. Yes he was poor tonight but he was very good in game 1. Pearce is lucky to be there.

I'd give Maloney the benefit of the doubt and pair him with a halfback that can actually direct a game like Reynolds. Next year he should be there

The Dragons are rubbish this season.

I would have been ok with Merrin going to the bin.

Possibly Hodges.

Literally no idea why Tate or Bird went to the bin

This is a deadset myth. He made one break. Other than that he has sat back and let Pearce do everything in both games. The fact Pearce does it all poorly doesn't make Maloney better.

Because the possibility of a fight was the only reason that 50% of the audience watched a massively lopsided contest for the last 7-8 series or whatever it is

Wrong. Gallen should have been binned in the first game. Merrin only in the second.

Farah did well

Woods didn't do anything. If Grant got dropped who actually played well then Woods needs to be out on his arse as well.
Tamou will be taking his spot back in game 3

I can't agree with that.

Merritt's out, but the whole team was shit tonight. The team never slid whenever Thurston moved the ball out to Merritt/Morris's side of the field. By the time it got to Lewis there was already a major overlap, somebody had to shut the ball down

If we scapegoat a winger yet again instead of addressing the source of the problems you can write off game 3
