Alot of the blame should rest on Damian Cook for that loss. His decision making was f**king poor.

Giving it to Jack Wighton on the last, let alone in attacking positions is f**king stupid. Especially considering the quality of his kicks.

It's no surprise we looked better with Api on the field.

I dunno about blame cos they were all shit to a large extent but he starved the right in the first half, then when Api did come on Turbo's carries doubled on the right. Probably also helped that Moses played a lot better second half two.

Unfortunately Teddy had by that stage started starving Latrell....

Something really wrong about NSW on the podium in a series win after losing game 3..

But more that Mitch Moses n Api Koirisau are “celebrating” when they have lost their origin debut games… not been part of the winning games etc…

nothing against them, just not right.

surely present the shield when a team has won it on the night FFS…

DCE should seriously just do a Jamie Lyon, and tell the rep scene to take a hike.
I thought he had a red hot go all series with no luck and a better than decent game tonight. He gets a pass from me with the cattle he had outside him, including Munster.

Yeah, they should just step aside and leave everyone alone. Idiot.

Starving fatboi is a no no

Thought Reynolds should have played but it was Moses’ first origin game… he did ok in parts but the cohesion wasn’t there with Wighton in others.

no excuses for the loss but nsw with new halves, unfamiliar with each other, and Kalyn Ponga back for Qld…. I think we missed Cleary as much as Qld has missed Ponga.

barring injury… I think with all available next year it should be an absolutely cracking series.
I agree, I don't think Moses was too bad, his kicking game was solid and although he didn't take command I don't think many blues fans wanted him to try to be like Cleary but rather just kick well, defend well and not play hero ball, the structurally break down in attack I think lies with Cook and Teddy who in my opinion were abit selfish tonight and decided they were sick of playing 2nd fiddle

For everyone slamming Tedesco for overplaying, did you ever consider why? He knew the halves were capable of absolutely nothing and he was just trying to make something happen. It looked like frustration to me. It never would've occurred had there been a remotely decent half on the field for NSW. It reminded me of when Gallen and Farah would get in the way of everything. Like, who was gonna take charge back then, Pearce? Finch? Hodkinson? Soward?

These are the types of stupid things that happen when a team doesn't have leadership or any form of competence at 6 and 7.
