Vs the Kiwis, if Walsh gets pressured, he gets outworked by CNK, who’s a similar effort fullback to Edwards. Edwards will bring that safe, big yardage game no matter what.
Rugby League includes both attack and DEFENCE.Latrell & Turbo are our best centre pairing when fit and firing.
Walsh is better than Edwards at his best, as is Ponga, don't need three fullbacks plus fullback options in Latrell and Turbo all in the side.
Fair call on Chrighton, chalk that up to QLD bias
He was putrid on Wednesday. People are forgetting the first half because we won. His kicking was awfulMoses is a god tier halfback now
split hair between him and Nathan Cleary
never thought he could rise to that level tbh
His long kicks out of trouble were fine. 1st half wasn't really one where halves were going to dominate. Objectively I think he was ok, all he had to do was stay patient and not shit the bed. He managed to pull it off and then jag a try when the chance was presented. Luai carried the short kicking game, no problem with that, there is a reason we have 2 halves.He was putrid on Wednesday.

2 easy kicks went dead, somehow 1 was missed by the ref and touch judge. He did a Myth Piss grubber into the defence. The best thing he did all night was run past the 2 most overrated players in the game in Walsh and GrantHis long kicks out of trouble were fine. 1st half wasn't really one where halves were going to dominate.

I love a Mitch bash as much as the next Man, but his Origin performances this year just dont warrant one.
I remembered one shit kick that went dead. The other one we got a bit lucky. The grubber was ordinary, but he isn't the first and wont be the last to do one of those.2 easy kicks went dead, somehow 1 was missed by the ref and touch judge.

Luai was the handbreak in attack running Infield all the timeHe was putrid on Wednesday. People are forgetting the first half because we won. His kicking was awful
Again you simply choose to ignore all the other facets of fullback play almost as if they don’t matter.
Edwards has won 3 premierships, Clive Churchill medal and man of the match in an origin decider, normally I’d tell you to come back when Walsh can match that resume but that would be unfair because Walsh will likely never match that resume.
Ok sure we disagree. Walsh isn't in good form at the moment because he hasn't played a tonne of footy this year, but let's not pretend like he's not right up there at his best.Rugby League includes both attack and DEFENCE.
Walsh is a complete bum in one of those areas
Walsh needs a good coach which isn’t KevvieOk sure we disagree. Walsh isn't in good form at the moment because he hasn't played a tonne of footy this year, but let's not pretend like he's not right up there at his best.
I mean Edwards is so good that he's only been able to crack the Blues team in 2024?
Anyway you think Edwards, I think Walsh (at his best), Ponga and Turbo are in front of him for that Kangaroos spot. But Mal may even pick Tedesco and we'll all be wrong.
Doesn't have the tickerWalsh needs a good coach which isn’t Kevvie
he will end up the best fullback In the comp with the right coaching

I was including his short dropouts in my assessment. But surprised it was only 3, not doubting you btw, I guess we remember the good ones, the bad ones and the ok ones just become filler. All his were in the good range.Yeah Luai carried the short kicking game with all THREE of his kicks for the day. Especially in the second half where he didn't kick the ball once.
He played as well as he was allowed, like Moses. And you're not trolling like your mate I get that. But it's a weird take.
So what your saying is everything Mitchy actually did well Burton would have done betterI was including his short dropouts in my assessment.

I may also have been giving him credit for the Critta and Best ones that resulted in drop outs. Either way Moses was great with the long kicks, the rest of the team took care of the shorter ones for the most part.
Needs to be willing to work hard.Walsh needs a good coach which isn’t Kevvie

Ha ha , no, not really. I love Burton but his accuracy can be a bit off.So what your saying is everything Mitchy actually did well Burton would have done better
