never thought I'd say it, but gotta agree, Freddie's time must be up
I agree. But I think some of our forwards need to take the responsibility as well.
This isn't NRL, yet that's the type of RL they played last night. They need to go back and watch some old games, particularly NSW losses, and really get the gist of what it means to play AND WIN Origin.
Qld had an average squad, yet they lifted and did what it takes to win a series. They always do.
Lindsay Collins? I mean who is he? I'd never heard of him. Yet from the bench, he ran over 140 metres.
Look at the metres gained from our bench? Absolutely pathetic.
And, without even looking at stats, it was clear and obvious last night, just watching the game that they were smashing us and looked the most likely.
I just don't get, after 40 years of Origin, that our players can still go into games without the ORIGIN attitude. Are NSW so arrogant that we just think we'll win if we think we have a superior squad?
History tells us yes.
