LMAO Utoikamanu. Right

Moses was always getting picked I reckon. I don't necessarily think he's the best or worst pick, it's just so Freddy.

Hynes hard done by, but shouldn't have been picked game 1 anyway. Media selection from the start.

Halves should have been Reynolds & Walker. Not much downhill at Suncorp, Moses wont know what to do.


Critta 18th man is balls too. Pick someone with a bye ffs.

Moses chance to shed the flat track bully tag. I hope he kills it and becomes an option for 6 next year. IMO he and Cleary would be an awesome halves pairing. Two great kicking options with extremely different styles of play.

How good is recency bias, eh? The key to being selected for NSW is playing crap teams in the lead up to selection.

Anyway forget the halves, him persisting with that 11 and 12 is the biggest LOL.

Don’t lump Friz in with Young. He was one of about 4 blokes that had a go in Game 1.
Young played well, his only mistake being a knock on - and he wasn't on his own there. His shape in attack was excellent and set up Martin's try, and he defended well and got under Gilbert's and DCE's skin.

Although if Liam Martin and Cameron Murray are available, given the form they're in, they should be the starters.

Starting Frizell or Young over both Murray and Martin is ridiculous.

They're good players but Murray is elite and Martin is probably the form backrower in the NRL.

Set up Martins try from the bench? Better make him captain.

Young was ok. He probs could have had a try or two early if Luai had hit him with a short ball, he got through a couple of holes with a good line run. Other than that he made one error and one penalty that was TPJs fault for being a dead shit.

He should be on the bench with Martin starting, esp if he's only going to get 30 mins, but no issues giving him another go.

Walker isn’t a downhill skier?

Many moons ago, there was an Australian cricketer named "Peter Who".

Fittler has come up with the NRL version.

"Reece Who".
Freddy: Gee Reece Walsh played well in game 1. I need a Reece to turn the tide. Brandy, anyone named Reece who qualifies for the Blues?
Brandy: There's that Cowboy, so he's probably a QLDer.
Freddy: Just name him and see how it plays out.

Strip penalty given away that led to a try.

Come on, you know how footy works. You keep running the same decoys time after time, eventually the defence moves to counter the ball out the back, and then you hit 'em with the short ball. By keeping his shape and running those lines, Young did his job.

People don't like him, I get that. But he'll be better for the run.
