That is Why you DON'T Pick Players The Media Wants!

[lockyno1]

Fair dinkum Slater was horrid, missed tackles, bombed tries, hopeless returns. Prince to 5/8, hunt to Fullback thanks and Tate can get stuffed as well.

 

[perverse]

slater wasn't horrid, he was pummelled. mercilessly.

 

[Munky]

Slater was fine.

Whoever was playing fullback for QLD would have been smashed.

 

[Shorty]

Slater has issues,what the hell is it with fullbacks and confidence issues.
His form at the Storm couldn't be denied and there was no telling how he could have played tonight.
So you're wrong.

But Hunt needs to return to that spot next game.

 

[lockyno1]

Wrong..his prancing across field was shocking, his returns were poor..we won't mention his pass with a TWO man overlap that went into the f**king crowd!

 

[RABK]

Ahhh Lockyno1... the only person that can unite NSW and Qld on Origin to a common cause...

f**k OFF LOCKY.

 

[Sood]

I thought he was fine- he had a good run, almost a try.
Not his fault he got smashed.

Wouldn't say he played great, but he was far from horrid. A different fullback woulda yielded the same result.

Well we agree, I told you the same thing when the team was announced. Hunt is a better REP fullback.

 

[Raging Rabbit]

Thurston was sh*te!!!!

f**k PoTATEo head off, Prince to half, Thursty to 5/8 and Hunt to Wing.

Yes, Tatey played well but I'm over compensating the belief that Thurston is one of the best in the world.

Bullfarking sh*t he is on tonights performance - Wallace flogged him.

f**kin pissed off - I managed to get even money.

Wrong, a different fullback can pass the ball to the winger, not the touch judge!

 

[Parra Guru]

Slater???

Oh... that pussy at the back who would only run the ball back himself when he was in space.

What a joke.

 

[perverse]

locky... f**k. i mean just... sh*t....

slater makes a curving run, breaks the line and he's a hero. makes a curving run and it works out poorly, he's the villian.

QLD played as well as NSW allowed them to tonight, and slater was a marked man from minute 1. he got absolutely smashed.

 

[Shorty]

The blame lies on everyone not just one person,Thurston had no support he's not superman ffs.

 

[beave]

"Tate played well?"

That f#$ker was woeful tonight. I was praying his pi$$ ant neck would give up on him so we don't have to put up with him in game 2.

slater went ok, actually comparative to the rest of the soft performance the team put in, he went better than ok

i agree on hunt to fullback - that way he wont get smashed as bad as he did tonight

Sorry..does that excuse his pass to the NSW bench when we had a 2 man overlap?

yeh but then we would have to put up with bell!

i disagree

you guys should be blaming one person - mr bellamy

he shut his super stars and the rest of the QLD team down before they warmed up

 

[Charlie124]

Slater was sh*thouse tonight, soft returns and no support play.

Hunt was completly useless as a 5/8. Putting big hits on forwards is fun to watch for a while but he has the attacking skills of a front rower, get him back to fullback ASAP.

where was Cam Smith? did he play tonight? maybe he missed the bus to the game, deadset Thurston looked like the only one with a clue in attack, he cant do everything and it showed tonight in the lack of support he got.

 

[Apey]

Shorty you lay into Slater but stand up for Thurston? :?

Same problem really, I thought they both tried their best but were rubbed out of the game by NSW defence. However in saying that, Slater did throw a shocker or two.
