NSW origin side.

[Old Kogarah Boy 1]

Vaughan is running sideways every time.
Cordner is playing really well.

 

[ST Tangles 01]

Good straight run by DeBelin got us on the front foot for that try.

 

[rednwhites]

Tedesco is an origin player.

 

[Ben_Kusto_magic]

2 blues tries off quick JDB play the balls

 

[rednwhites]

NSW wins YAY!!!

More importantly, no apparent injuries to our boys!!

 

[Old Kogarah Boy 1]

Great stuff!
Blues win.

JDB is still injured.

This is like the ideal situation, a Blues win and Ben Hunt solid for QLD. Happy for all our players

 

[Mickthedragon]

Wow! Great win to the blues.
Some of our boys were a bit quiet at times but thats origin and they had solid debuts. Frizz was at his damaging best and Benny Hunt was great in a losing team. Probably the best scenario for all of us tonight.

Did Jdb play any 2nd half? Not meant to be having a dig but didnt notice him.
Has to be still injured, surely.

Didn’t come back on till the 65 Minuit or so, thought he was underused, his defence was outstanding, again.

Had concerns with Friz playing the full first half, especially after he was asked to move into the middle. JDB is carrying that hip injury so I believe that was considered by coaching staff in his longer stint on the bench.

I'd have Aitken or Peachy over Roberts for game 2 based on tonight's performance.

Actually, yep. Remember him being back on now and getting a few touches. He did have some trademark tackles early on and went well considering his injury management.

 

[Frank Facer]

Teddy man of the match. I would have picked him for it too.

 

[Crush]

What did everyone think of Freddys use of the bench?

A bit harsh on Roberts as GI has his best game in 2 years or more.
Also Fittler had blokes moving around all over the place with back rowers swapping sides and also props and then Frizz going into the centre 3rd so it was all a bit clunky on his side.
If the Maloney pass isn't intercepted Roberts scores so he deserves to be given the spot in game 2 as he will learn from this.

 

[rednwhites]

I would not even think to change the side (barring injury). They can learn a lot, stick together as a complete unit and push like crazy to wrap it up in Sydney.

Everyone on Twitter is giving it to Hunt. Under the circumstances he went well especially on 1 leg. His pack didn’t help him as well.

If so, a bit rough. Inch perfect grubber for Gagai's try, solid in defence and kicking game was decent. If anything, Munster was pretty quiet and had suspect defence. Anyway, better for us if they drop him but would be harsh.
