I thought they threw the ball around heaps.
I cant stand that pr*ck Luai but I thought he and Lay Down Brave Teddy were NSWs most dangerous. It hurts me to say it but I reckon Luai is a better player than Cleary.
The ball gets passed but the defense is up there and just snuffs everything every time. Defenses are too dominant

Freddy can't coach. He is the one that needs sacking. Hopeless tactics. Outcoached by a rookie.

We had very little go forward , basically none in the second half. Halves had no smarts. Cleary put up 2 ineffective bombs late in the game, yet Burton has the most lethal bomb and was left doing nothing.

They call Moses a downhill skier, what does Cleary have with no go forward?

They have to choose whether they want turbo or yeo in the team, can't have both. And the only time I remember martin taking a hit-up was when cleary would throw him a short ball when there was an overlap on the outside if the ball had gone to a sweeping tedesco

Junior has played 9 origins now in last 3 years.

Has there been a origin yet where you have felt he has been the best front rower on the ground or close too it.

Just curious I feel he has underperformed slightly

QLD thrive on being written off. Happens year after year they love being the underdog.

NSW fall for the same trick every year.

They lose a game then toss away 4 or 5 fringe players to the scrapheap rinse and repeat every season.

The QLD spirit is a load of bullocks but I do think a lot Queenslanders in general are more parochial about there state then the country.
It's true. I moved to QLD from NSW almost 5 years ago and my second head is growing nicely.

I thought he did pretty good last night. Not outstanding, but who was? Apart from our excellent defensive effort it was our backs who f**ked the game for us. They played like they had never met each other before the game and collectively shit themselves. QLD on the other hand played like a well drilled team and came up with all the big plays when it mattered.

It will never happen due to the Panfers love fest, but a NSW combo of Moses & Cleary would be near unstoppable.

At least when Cleary goes missing or is under pressure you have someone with a decent long kicking game. Trying to pass the ball 3 wide to Burton for a decent kick is not a game plan to anyone except Blind Freddy.

If Moses played last night he’d have countered DCE’s long kicking game, Cleary just wasn’t up for it - the great origin Myth

Jakes not a prop. He has no leg drive. Yeo and Cleary where combining beautifully in first half.
Game changed with a try to QLD just before halftime. Come from a break down Burton's side then a kick that took a deflection and again poor defense by Burton not getting in the way to slow attacker down.

RCG should of played before Jake. Wighton before Burton or Crighton. In QLD and lost by a try. It was a tight game and not sure why people are going on like it was a flogging.

Been solid but not outstanding in anyway. But who has?

Apparently Fox, RCG and Matto were left out and Weighton left languishing on the bench because they don't eat vegetables, refuse to walk on the grass without shoes and talk during meditation.

yeah, it's called passion

he probably has more than Freddy
That’s not passion, it’s sour grapes and sounds like he lost a good whack with sportsbet. Passion is imploring better from your side during the course of the game and targeting areas for improvement to change the result, not making snidey remarks when you’ve come up short as an overwhelming favourite… AGAIN. Just my 2c.
