Paul Gallen - he gave away 3 penalties last year, which led to 3 Maroon tries in the 2 games we lost. This year he threw a horrible, undiscipline pass on the first tackle, when we had the ball near the Maroon 20s, and 2 plays later, he did not move up and did not assist Gidley in the tackle and let in Maroon's first try
The guy is not a playmaker, he does not bend the offense line, his defense is average, he is a similar player then O'Donnel and NSW cannot afford ot have 2 back rowers who does not bend the line. He was a -20 in SOO2, which is the worst of any player (Qld was 24-4 when he was on the field)
His lack of discipline regularly costs NSW, until he fix up that part of his game, he is not up to Origin standard
Justin Poore - he is soft he does not bend the line for a front rower, he get hit and goes backward too often. He made a few error is not up to state of origin standard
Wallace - his kicking game is poor and he rarely finds the grass. His passing was inaccurate, he does not test the line, he is not up to state of Origin standard
Barrett - a very good defensive 5/8, his kicking game is not consistent, his bombs can land 5 in the ingoal, or 20 meter out, he throw his passes too far in front of the ball runners, gave a hospital pass to Creagh and gave another bad ball to Lyon
Robbie Farah - he is not a good kicker, too many of his kicks hits the fullback on the full, he takes too many steps from dummy half, often the forward has to slow down to wait for him to pass and the team end up going backwards, that pass which led to a try is shocking, his defense is average. He is just not up to SOO.
Wolfman - those 2 drop balls were horrible, he also kicked on the first tackle 20 metre out from Qld line, late in the game, he did not handle the presure of SOO.
Joel Monaghan - Too slow to be a SOO center, when Creagh made 2 half breaks, he was not backing up on Creagh shoulder which is where he should have been, was caught out on defense a few times. very ordinary game.
