Penrith win comps on the back of a great structure, week after week. Great structure doesn’t tend to win you rep games consistently, and have we seen this again this series ? Dylan Edwards and Yeo fit that style perfectly in club footy, in rep footy, their impact isn’t there to create something out of nothing. Not saying they’ve played poorly, but they don’t look like breaking a game open either. Yeo doesn’t strike as an inspirational style leader either

To’o playing hard as always, but every time he runs, you can see he isn’t right. Cleary and Haas also playing injured, has that cost NSW ? On the flip side of that, Tom wasn’t picked because he “didnt look right”. He would have had more impact than Edwards in the 1, more involvement than Latrell in the centres, and would have matched Lomax on the wing

brickbat of the night, Nathan Cleary. Obviously not fit, but f**k me, I have him challenging Joey at the end of his career as the best I have seen. Inside the first 5mins, Crighton was giving Shibasaki a bath. Cleary then spent 75mins ignoring him, absolutely criminal. His kicking game was bog average, and Luai had far more involvement than him over the course of the game. On the other side of the park, Dearden has been unbelievable and comfortably outplayed him

Only got to watch last 30mins after workplace training.
Hudson headbutt on Capewell would have Warriors player sent off.
Mitchell got a hammer to the balls!
Dearden sold it to Mitchell and scored to seal a QLD win!

Shat myself when I saw that, thought Capewell might be concussed. Reminded me of Steve Price getting KOed in 2007, and Ivan sitting at home going 'oh f*ck no'

Watching the presentation can we have a jacket on Capewell so he doesn't catch a cold? 🥹

It was nice seeing Papali'i help raise the shield. Oh, and Luai will be angry this weekend. Latrell too, but that's not our problem.
