State of Origin 2K19 Discussion

[Fangs]

I think we’re going to miss Maloney a lot more than we all think if he’s gone next year, Luai or Cleary can’t run our side.

I think Luai would make an excellent 7 if given the chance.

Speaking of game management, when was the last time Nathan Cleary put a ball over the touch line for a scrum? I honestly can't remember.

Hope you’re right about Luai, as for Cleary I agree with you, can’t remember the last time he kicked a ball out for touch, his long kicking game is dreadful, it’s just midfield bomb every time. Another reason I don’t think he should be a 7

 

[betcats]

Yeah he was Pretty good second half but he was keep jurbo or Frizz off the field

Fitler ducked up the rotation for sure

 

[Dave's mate]

This crap about "Mid field bombs" is very silly. You can disagree with the tactic of high deep kicks but at least understand what is happening

 

[betcats]

They came within 4 with a QLD try coming from an intercept.

Maloney would have got the ball out left when it was needed. A lot more points in the NSW team. Game is gone now.

Latrell was a passenger. When the ball went to him in the first half he had space and time and was hestitant and looked for passes that went nowhere. The left side lost us the game.

Clearys kicking was pretty good imo. There was two poor attacking kicks from him the rest were good.

 

[forby]

Cleary did what he was told. Walker was supposed to provide the creativity.

Just thought he had more legs in him. He was fresh after 10 minutes off the field and with the game on the line he was the man for NSW. Cook took responsibility and looked as though he didn't trust his halves. Seldom got the ball out to the left.

 

[betcats]

They just to have get someone better in for crichton and get the middle rotation right and should be ok. Keary would’ve been great out there.

Keary plays and no one would be talking about Cleary right now. Except reporters wanting a cute news headline. 'Keary Sees Cleary Now'.

Even Maloney. Just someone to show leadership and guide the team.

Agree. I think the right side was picked to solid and handle Ponga/Munster. They did their job the left and bench on the otherhand

That is my biggest criticism of him. He will never have the vision but never finds space when he kicks

He did when he first came in and a few times since. So why is it not more frequent?

Also last night he got screwed because Walker was completely invisible and the forward rotation sucked.

That is the $5m question...Or gamble we took

I am not blaming him for last night. Like I said he did what he was picked for, Kept that left side quiet.

Mr Walker, the ghost who walks...

I'd say they did their job and then some. Morris' try was a great bit of work and Cotric did some good meters against a rushing QLD defence.

Depends what they wanted from Cleary really but on the surface they did their job

I think there’s a lot of panthers fans in denial about Cleary’s limitations.

The guy is being paid big bucks, it’s not enough just to try hard, he needs to be creating points, he needs to be kicking 40/20’s.

And then theirs people going way over the top with the limitations of a 22 year old

He’s playing State of Origin and he has 70 FG games under his belt. Experience is more relevant than age.

If you haven’t worked out your attacking game after 75 games of high level footy, when will you? Come on, this is denial.
