Peats is crap

[davi]

Peats was likely told not to do too much and get the ball to the big men and the halves. I really doubt he was given the Green light to do much more. I actually think NSW should persevere with him and the more experience he gets the more he will be able to take a more leading role into the future.

In fact after game 1 some commentators praised him for sticking to the game plan and not trying to play outside himself. Then when it all turns to crap he suddenly is the villain. Go figure.

A better 9 would have known the ideal times to run, regardless of the instruction given by the big nosed pansy Daley. He's the best option, and he's a solid player, but the depth in this position in NSW is pretty slim

When the alternative is Farah, Peats is the tits.

Peter Sterling confirmed on TripleM before the game they had told Peats to run more and even try to kick if he could. Obviously fell on deaf ears.

He made 0 runs and missed vital tackles and I can't remember him doing 1 single attacking play all series.

Seems he has the same issue as Pearce, afraid to take risks and play what's in front of him.
I think they should stick with him though, he was very good in game 1.

What - they didn't know if he knew how to kick?

If they watched the Tigers V Titans game a few weeks back they would have had their answer - anyone remember his kick from dummy half that night? f**king terrible!

Origin III training

Sterlo - "Nath, mate, next Wednesday at Suncorp.... if you get the chance, maybe take a few quick darts out of dummy half instead of passing it all the time yeah?

Peats - "Hmmm. Yeah maybe, but what about Pearcey, it's his team isn't it?"

Sterlo - "Yeah, but just play what you see. If there's space and we get a quick play the ball, have a scoot. AND - maybe even kick if the opportunity presents itself... you can do that yeah?"

Peats - "Kick? You mean like when they drop it and swing through with their foot and make it go in the air downfield?"

Sterlo - "Maybe stick to the original plan, just pass it to Pearcey"

Peats - "Uh huh, Yep"

Oi, Cam Smith, we have the Australian half and five-eigth. Don't overplay your hand just service the halves.

Ha! You think NSW game plan is based around Peats the way Cam Smith is for QLD? Nice try but no cigar.

That's the point. He is a numpty that all he can do is pass out of dummy half. Typical QLDer have to explain everything.

Are you finished with Peats yet, let's start on Fifita, after him Woods . . . wake me up when you get to Hayne, I wouldn't want to miss him

Just goes to show you how bad Qld were in game 1 without Slater et al

Agreed, even if you must've answered the wrong post

 

[Mulgoa Joe]

Peats didn't have exclusive rights to picking the ball up and having a scoot.
Isn't Mitch the fastest, Hayne the most dangerous, Teddy untouchable etc

Get in to it.

 

[Spot On]

Didn't think much of him before Game 1and nothing has changed after Game 3.

I'm glad the posters here have no real say on selections.

At what point do you think it would have been optimal for Peats to run? The forwards were monstered by the Queensland defence. Their line speed was incredible causing slow play the balls. If Peats tried to run, it would have either meant him getting caught by markers, or forcing a pass to the forwards right at the defensive line.

It's no coincidence that in Game 1 where NSW dominated the forward battle and had great defence that Cam Smith was neutralised.

The key issue with Game 3 from NSW was their linespeed in defence was non-existant (makes sense if Dean Pay is the D coach). QLD beat the crap out of them, and tore them down.

Klemmer made some huge runs. There was plenty of times where he could have taken maybe a step or two out of acting half.
