No, Moses was better tonight than Cleary was in G1.

Wouldn’t move ahead with either 6/7 from tonight though, unless Moses was 6 and AReyn 7.

I think moving forward there's a lot of value in trying 6-Moses/Hynes 7-Cleary.

We keep picking running mental midgets like Luai and Walker at 6. Give two actual fully rounded halves a go.

Predictable result and posts tbh.

I thought Moses, Robson, and even Luai were pretty good. They all had iffy moments but when the most Origin experienced bloke in the list is Eshay Luai that's likely to happen.

The forwards we're all pretty good at worst.

I'd be happy for all the back five bar To'o to never play again though. Funny how everyone spewing JAC missed last year is quiet now. Teddy is literally Paul Gallen with worse teeth. Poor Turbo is probs done.

We lost on coaching and the type of side we select IMO. Freddy should have got the call just after half time in a perfect world. Although we're so stupid we'll give it to Joey or someone and continue the cycle...
Moses was f**king awful.

Hynes has to actually beat some top 8 teams before he can even be close.

He is so far away right now

So do we think that's the end of Turbos origin career? He has probably had the mosy disappointing series of any NSW player

2 years ago he's the best player in the world and basically unstoppable. But his club form this year was trash and his Origin form was worse.

Knocked out in game 1. Suffers an injury 2 minutes into this game. His body just isn't up to it anymore and his confidence in his body is clearly gone too. Such a sad way for his rep career to end if so

It's a fair point but we don't have loads of options either tbh.

Luai and Walker have been tried and not exactly set the place on fire. Same for Keary. And apart from them what other five eighths are there?

Munster and Brown are arguably the best two in the game, neither are options for NSW. Hynes won the Dally M last year, he can play footy. I guess the question is can it go worse than we have already? Probs not

Even Manly would have to be thinking about the value of keeping him on big pay.

ROFL, I do have to laugh at this narrative that treats the game like it’s the NBA.

Honestly, hope Hynes doesn’t come into the NSW team until they get their shit together. Don’t want him anywhere near that Fittler/Johns/Alexander clown show.

There’s no point playing Hynes until they address their attacking structures. Hynes plays deep and Freddy is hell bent on playing flat.

Convinced the nsw coaching positions are a poisoned chalice now. Who'd want to clean up this mess.
