NSW arent Penrith. I dont think they manage the same team cohesiveness - we have still lacked the attitude at times .... Qld manage to bring it most of the time and play as a team.

Gus called it out 2 years ago.

We were too Pantherised as great as they are it doesn't translate to origin success.

Game 1 last year Lindsay Collins ran past 5 Penrith players to outleap Tedesco to score the winning try it was embarrassing.

Edwards coming in though is the right call.

I believe 1%'ers and x-factor are different things.

1%ers are considered the little extra efforts that arent overly glamourous, but collectively make a difference.

Majority of Gus' opinions in the media are a loaded gun, for some sort of agenda.

Id take whatever his opinion is with a grain of salt.

Similar to his comments about BA getting the sack.

It doesnt matter that they were 5 panthers players, its that they werent playing for the panthers at the time and I reckon werent in the same mindset.

The NRL Panthers have shit games too, but when they are switched on they have an extra level. ..... i think they DO get switched on for Penrith, but not necessarily for NSW.

I think you're playing semantics.

No semantics.

I was always of the belief ...

X factor == flashy unexpected stuff

1%ers == extra affort, often unglamorous, but makes a difference


Infact, the AFL has an actual stat called 1%ers which is based on things like smothers, tap ons, etc which are efforts but not flashy

Ash "The Flash" Graham was good at the 1%'s but an X-factor he wasn't!!!

This is spot on. No semantics. Gronk is playing stupids.
