State of origin series

[Black Diamond]

I recall an interview with RCG once he joined Parra saying something along the lines of...he was really happy at Parra and that it was such a better environment there rather than the toxic environment at Penrith. He also said he didnt try during his last year at Penrith. Surely that would have pissed off the players.

It doesn’t matter now mate. I don’t know whether he used word toxic in describing the two environments but his time was up at the Panthers for various reasons Not all his own doing.

Yeah he did use that word, I remember watching the interview and was shocked he would say it as he had always talked about being a home grown Panther and his love of the club and the area.

I'm sure there was more to it as you say but he certainly did himself no favours with those comments.

My memory fades , not doubting your recollection, his exit was rather sad albeit best for all parties.

Pfft. Burton, Best or the Premier of NSW. It matters not. Tago is better than all of them. I'm glad he missed out. I'm getting quite fed up with people lining up to blame the Panthers and unless he scored a hat trick, made 20 tackle busts and 5 assists, he would just cop abuse. I know he is capable of that, but who needs the anguish? Certainly not Tago.

Yeo makes 46 tackles (no misses) and a 100 plus metres and apparently he doesn't work at SOO level. QLD would pick him every time. They would tell him to focus on running, not distribution. The faster defences in SOO means locks aren't effective at distribution without significant decoys and movement, it is too slow and the defence easily resets.

QLD understand toilers with his engine and mental fortitude are gold in SOO just ask Ruben Cotter. Who is doing his work now? Put him in the middle with Jake T and nothing is getting through the line.

I think we are going to cop a flogging, unless QLD are on the turps during their camp celebrating their series win. Slater must have licked his lips when he saw the NSW bench. Its going to be ugly.......

Yeo's (attack) was bloody terrible. He's been figured out a bit and has been passing too far before the line. It is something he seems to know about because he was taking the ball to the line deep against Melbourne.

I think it is a Freddie or NSW thing more than anything.

Qld just too good.

My apologies...perhaps my memory is fading too. He didn't say it was toxic but certainly danced around it in this interview. I knew he had alluded to it.

Panthers still p****d off at RCG's admission that he gave up on them: Cleary

“He makes some silly comments sometimes. It’s just how it is."

He would've won two grandfinals by now, and I agree with you %

All's well, that ends well.

Bit of both I think but we need to evolve a bit

Absolutely. Even allowing for the absence of Latrell, Nathan perhaps, we were poor and sadly I can see another embarrassing loss in game three. The side Freddie has picked IMO can’t win, unless the Maroons turn it up and that is unlikely.

I’m sure others can come up with a list of Gus Gould’s failures, I tend to think the long term re-signing of RCG was one of his biggest retention blunders. The dollars and length of the contract were silly, said as much at the time. It was not good business.

For the To'o try. He had support right on his hip, Compare that to the one out garbage in Origin

Picking best over Burton is hilarious Freddy AND Brandy are clowns

Sideshow Bob

You really need current NRL assistants as Origin assistants

Things like how to use the bench, defensive structures that currently work etc.

NSW have fallen off a cliff since Fitzgibbon left

Exactly, QLD engage astute current/past coaches, NSW has Mary Mcgregor (FFS) Andrew Johns can't put two words together in normal conversation, how does he get a message accross. Sam Burgess is in there somewhere as well.
Having said that I would like to see NSW snag the win, just to wipe some arrogance of Slaters face.

Nothing better than to shut him up.

They moved Crichton to the right and brought Cody in to fix the attack.

Centres not getting any time was and still will be the issue still

Pissed me off hearing, and confirming what i saw that season, he was turning his back into tackles like a coward, fkn asshole

James Fisher Harris and Moses Leota, at times, turns their backs into tackles, and they're not cowards. It is clear that Regean was the problem.

Nah not like the way he was doing it it was a blatent slow down, absolutely no bending the line, it started happening after he came back from origin, i think aaron woods got in his ear about the best way to plodding excellence

 

[box57l]

Two forwards on the bench and one is Yeo. Freddy needs to get off the pipe
