Moses was pretty average last night ... he started ok, kicking was decent, but as qld started to roll us he ended up just running sideways - like the times for parra when we are getting done and our backline movements crab to the sideline.

All our potential threats just crabbed around sideways - Qld just kept their line and defended like stars.

Cleary is still the best halfback NSW has - though the way Qld played he probably would have achieved little last night too.... might be ok with a 7 Cleary, 6 Moses combo

Qld were just too good ..... they REALLY care about origin, so much that they take it personally. NsW cares, but nowhere near as much.
I'll be honest i think Mitch threw the towel in the last 25 mins.

But I don't blame him not many others were having a crack. And at 26-6 the game was done.

I think he is a big enough to handle the criticism he knew he would cop it if they lost.

Mitch should replace the standard "no comment" response to any media questions about his performance in Origin with a simple "Team Game, hey!"

On what planet do you only play Barlow for 30 mins ? Reading hate for him this AM. Blah blah he only ran for 70m. Well f**k.

Just don’t pick him FFS.
Fresh for the Phins on Saturday BA should be happy as Larry.

Has Juniors form warranted selection though.

His best game was against Souths after Latrell bitched him in a tackle which embarrassed him into action which coincidently was the week before Game 1.

I am not all surpised by the result ... though it seems like Fittler is .... though he is a moron when it comes to coaching so that is no surprise.

My opinion of Slater as a coach is increasing expoentially with each game. He won this game for Qld before the first game even started, possibly even last year. The criteria he uses to select players, to his in game management, to his motivational impact. Borderline genius.

Fittler in comparison is a deadet moron. Mind boggling selections, putrid in game management, little motivational impact.

Fittler and co is why NSW lost
Slater is so much more savvy in everything he does compared to Fittler. Slater comes across respectfully when quizzed on coaching selections, tactics or question marks.

Fittler seems to get rattled when there's criticism and question marks and resorts to "don't really care what so and so think" type answer's....

But the bottom line is, as @strider said, QLD simply care more about Origin than NSW.... Always have bar a few years here and there....

Billy has pulled his head in a bit.

He was always a turd who hated losing and do anything to win and would resort to sly cheap shots by any means necessary.

It's get forgotten about but I remember the game he sledged Cory Paterson about his depression.

For all the things he did on the field that was the lowest.

With Moseseses knock on at the play the ball there was a defenders hand on the ball. It should have been a penalty. I could be wrong.
