Not at all to be honest. We didn't lose the forward battle. We dominated, we were in their 20 for like half the match. That's when your halves have to make a try, they did sh*t f**king all.
Yes. Firstly Woods played like a prop 2-3 years out from being ready for a starting spot. If Gallen played we could f**k Merrin back to the Dapto Canaries or whatever hole he emerged from. Secondly Farah as captain tried too hard and had some of the dumbest plays in the history of origin, if Gallen captain he would have been more composed. Thirdly, Gallen may have belted Mitchell Piss into unconsciousness and off the field. Sure it would have cost him ten in the bin but it would have been worth it.
Bird , Watmough and Hoffman covered his work rate well, but as mentioned earlier, Woods was a wasted spot. Swap Gallen for Woods and NSW would have dominated the middle. Apart of course from Scott, who once again proved he is the best prop in the game.
