Blues Have To Find A Way To ...

[some11]

Remember when teams threads used to be huge.

Not much excitement about this years series.

To'o is giving off Anthony Quinn vibes. Hope I'm wrong

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Not with Collins injured and Papalii suspended.

NSW gameplan will be tire out Fifita so he becomes ineffective in attack.

Will be interesting to see how he goes with the intensity of origin. I saw him in the game against the sharks, there were two tries that were scored where the centre and second rower shot past him and he just stood there looking. He was left pretty quiet that night.

Wouldn't have been the Sharks. They didn't trouble the scorer against us.

Brian did get caught out against Manly not trusting his centre (Burton) and coming in resulting in Saab scoring. The same happened with the Mansour try against the Rabbitohs. He needs to stay on his man and trust his centre. Turbo has broad shoulders, he can manage.

Edit: Sorry you were talking about Fifita I think.

I am not worried about Luai playing. He was won nothing in his career. lots of NRL games but no premiership

Of the 38 players named, 23 have not yet won a premiership in first grade (but some including Jarome have won a stack of them in the junior grades). Most of them have had a lot more than Luai's 52 first grade games in which to do it.

He did pretty damn well tonight.

He is a weapon. I don't care if people think he's a wanker. He is only young but supremely talented. Here's hoping bud can be our J.L

I like that he's abit of a wanker, you can tell he's not overawed, he went out there and played his game, wasn't afraid to have a go. Probably one of the better debuts by a NSW half that I can remember

Luais style is similar to Munster, I was worried about his defence but besides that if we had our far share of momentum i knew he would do well, he’s a great ball player and ball runner and he will give his centre’s quality early ball as often as possible. When the centre’s are turbo and latrell Luai will take advantage.

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Luai deserves far more credit.

He used Latrell and Sims very well. Early in the match he threw two passes to Latrell that led to a line break and the one of those was converted into a try. He then threw that nice short ball to Sims that resulted in To’o second try. He followed that up with that break where he used Latrell to pull in the opposition defence then finally passing it to Latrell and Trbojevic his second.

He really set it up early for NSW but his efforts have been overshadowed because of the score line.

He did well

But Walker did well in game 2 last year when it was a blow out

More interested in how Luai pans out when things are a bit more of a contest

Read the last line. It was a contest when he created those plays and set up what was to come with the early dominance.

He shits all over Walker

His early service was exceptional last night. Obviously didn't want to overplay his hand. The best origin debut from a NSW 6 for a long, long time.

Yeah when he went down the short side to Latrell who then tippy toed done the sideline for 20-30 metres that was great vision from him and a great run by Latrell obviously. That was one of the few times NSW were under pressure, they were smashing us that set and looked like they would keep the momentum and field position in their favour but that little play under pressure was big.

They were both brilliant last night.

Tom may have gotten MOTM but I would have given it to Latrell because of that very passage of play that you described. That was the pivotal point in the game and he delivered.

 

[myrrh ken]

As a qlder, pick luai. Please!

This aged well

 

[Spot On]

So only one change to the losing backline that qld ran through last year. Did you not learn that you need specialist centres?

Qld certainly don't adhere to you advice. Turnstiles the order of the day for you blokes. Gags managed to miss his first four attempts in the opening few minutes.

Wow. Never thought that stat would be possible - ever.
