Mata'utia is an outstanding talent. And he'll play a lot of rep footy

But people are just angry he's basically been picked from reserve grade ahead of the likes of Toops and Johnston.

Same with Klemmer over Lillyman, Maguire and Tolman.

Australia got what they deserved. Suck it Sheenius and your selection cronies.

That's not my issue. I seriously questioned his selection too. But going at an 18-year-old who's had a great tournament because he couldn't tackle Manu 1 on 1 that close to the line is ridiculous.

This. Tinight was the first time he was humiliated, but it was aso the first time we played a quality side with him in it.

As a NSW fan I want him to be a superstar. We need it. But he is still very obviously an 18 year old rookie when he faces a decent opponent. 2 years from now he will be the one humiliating players. But it was too soon, as people said when he was named.

Humiliated? Are you f**king geniused? At least he can catch unlike Australia's other wing option who is much more experienced. Yeah he could have come in quicker for Manu's first try but in terms of Australia's f**k ups this series he has been the least of their worries...which is ironic considering how many people were hoping and expecting him to be an epic failure at that level.

Sione did ok, he had some nice touches, he is certainly not the reason for the loss. Our forward pack was overwhelmed. Both he and Mansour showed signs of weakness at times but they will be better for the run.

What a moment this could have been if someone better than Walker passed it?

Vatuvei scored 10% of his international tries against him. He is not unstoppable in those situations. Both times he was in great position to stop him. Didnt come close though.

He will learn from it, butost wingers could have atleast put him into touch on that first try. The defending winger had the advantage from that angle. The second try could have been stopped by wrappping the ball up. He never came close to either.

That's it, that's enough. No lifting of the trophy, Sheens and NSW a embarrassment .
Hardly any representitives on stage.
No wonder the code gets treated like a second class sport.

Johnson owned Inglis, and Evans and Cronk, yet we get treated to second class origin rugby where Gallen is more interested in boxing, Hayne goes to NFL and video refs rule on a try to Thaiday so they can allow a NSW win.

Asada put paid to that, and crowds are voting with their feet.
The codee is lame, and i would not be surprised if johnson joins Hayne in French rugby.
