NRL 360 tonight had copies of Mulitalo's first two contracts where he denies eligibility for Qld. Then on his more recent ones that he has tried to align with the Maroons, states that he moved to Australia at 14.

At no point was he close to being eligible and it never should've gotten this far. The ARL and QRL should've snuffed it out before it began.

 

[BotanyBorn&Bred]

Latrell was so good. Whenever Qld threatened, he came up with a big play. He was best on IMO.

I am trying not to view it wearing my red and green sunnies and thought Tedesco was the best but Latrell definitely gets my 2pts and wasn't far off getting 3

for mine it would be
3 teddy
2 latrell
1 Murray

3 teddy
2 latrell
1 Murray

Yeah that's what I'd vote as well.
Funny, how the moron offering pts out of ten on the SMH, some dude I never heard of, said Murray was 6/10 and no real impact on the game. But Steve Roach, who I think has one of the best eyes and brains for the game, can see things unfold in a game like 3-5 mins before the actually happen, said Murray was one of the best in the game, and that Fittler would see all the "little" things Murray was doing in the game.

 

[Travitoh]

I reckon Freddy will go with Moses but Reynolds would fit in well and be deserving of a recall.

 

[Jim Rockford]

NRL 360 tonight had copies of Mulitalo's first two contracts where he denies eligibility for Qld. Then on his more recent ones that he has tried to align with the Maroons, states that he moved to Australia at 14.

At no point was he close to being eligible and it never should've gotten this far. The ARL and QRL should've snuffed it out before it began.

I was originally siding with Mulitalo over this, but if he tried to fudge his details to try to claim eligibility then I have no sympathy for what happened to him.

 

[Jim Rockford]

I reckon Freddy will go with Moses but Reynolds would fit in well and be deserving of a recall.

Moses is so far behind Reyno it's not funny. Cleary and Reyno have very similar kicking games, Moses isn't even in the same ballpark as far as kicking is concerned.

 

[BotanyBorn&Bred]

Moses is so far behind Reyno it's not funny. Cleary and Reyno have very similar kicking games, Moses isn't even in the same ballpark as far as kicking is concerned.

Well hopefully Greg Alexander gets a big say, because he'll probably go with Reynolds, just like he absolutely loves Cody Walker

Fittler is pretty keen on Moses though from his time coaching Lebanon.

I don't know that I'd say Moses is "so far behind Reynolds" though. Both are in good form and have their teams in the top 4.

I'd pick Reynolds. It's as close to a swap for Cleary as NSW can get and his team is top 4.

Man, that's shattering for Mulitalo. His dream is now over for good. A bit surprised as I thought he'd get an exemption but this is the way it is I guess.

[handyman2190]

Your a Qlder of course you think he should get an exemption, but, why should he! The rules cannot be just dropped on a whim and a prayer, for years GI plastered us but was from nsw, stuff qld,im glad he didnt get it,its about time nsw got something run our way, this year was very enjoyable, i enjoyed smashing them.

 

[NovoBunny94]

As a Blues fan and Novocastrian I would love for Game 3 to come to Newy! Yeww

 

[Travitoh]

Possible injury for Luai. Could very well be Reynolds and Walker in for game 3
