Not that it matters but does anyone know why the blues team is named before the maroons?

Yeah, it always seems half a day earlier...

Same reason why they often stay in the dressing room for longer than they should.

Hopgood dropped.

Or made way for Capewell.

Or not considered because of injury, dunno.

Hoppy is injured. Same as Cobbo.

My bro tells me that in rugby, a new rule is that a sent off (red card) player can be replaced after 20 mins.

To be honest I like the NSW team except maybe missing an extra front rower however I'm confident they'll do better with Edwards, Moses and Latrell. Look Latrell's form hasnt been great this year but to me he had to be there, we made him look good a few weeks back and since then he's been in good form. Watson's selection is a surprise but not a bad one.

I was impressed with Watson against us.

And I guess he can play alot of other positions

Form against us is not a good barometer these days imo

Be interesting to see if Moses can play well for the whole 80...

It was a pretty good fend.

It was a pretty good fend.

It looked to be one of those usual nights where it just didnt look like being our night.

Then we just went whack and won the game.

Penrith were in cruise control and we looked clueless attacking the line.

Then we just went bang, bang, bang starting from Waqa from nowhere and poor old Gus who was pro-penrith in the commentary box was in shock we were in the lead and won the game.

Only time Penrith lost that year until the GF. It's amazing to think they were a crazy 6 min period where we scored 3 tries from an unbeaten regular season.

 

[Sensei Cobra]

Was that the moment Waqa staring being shit ?

 

[King-Gutho94]

Keep whinging Ricky

The eye-gouger should be thankful he has already got 3 origin games which NSW have lost and pocketed 90k already.

I thought I’d seen a report that Moses was gonna kick

I thought I’d seen a report that Moses was gonna kick

Strange decision to exclude Moses from goal kicking when his %s over the last 2 seasons are higher than both Lomax and Mitchell.
