Origin 1 - 2024

Is he though? He was great a few years ago but he's a shade of that player now.

Strongly disagree.

People have just becone so accustomed to what he does that they take it for granted.

Best winger in the conp by a mile IMO

If you want to bring Mitchell in he simply slots in for Sua'ali'i.

Moses in for Hynes

Get some calves blood into Cleary ffs…

It's fair, he still makes a million metres but he doesn't seem to carry three blokes on his back for 20m as often as he was doing a few years ago

I agree with you here, has lost some speed, other than being a good kick returner there ain’t much else to his game, I would have height and speed on the wings.

I would have had Lomax and Su’ualii on the wings, Lomax was the standout for NSW I thought..

It's a good little pub quiz question, you could win some beers of that

Disagree… To’o is one of the best finishers in the game imo.. there is no other winger I would want in a one-on-one 5m out from the line…

DCE all class..good for us Jake and Hamoule will be ready to go on Sunday... thank God Madge knocked us back a couple of seasons ago, clueless.. seriously.

Why he didn't move Crighton to Right centre and leave Jake on for the 80 (which he does week in week out) and who's one of our better defenders I have no idea. And while I'm at it Nicho Hynes is NOT an origin player..sorry. but .. NO

 

[Dion Johnson]

Maybe, I would think you are better off with height and speed on the wings, kick targets in attack.

I thought Lomax clearly outperformed To’o tonight.

I would be replacing Hynes with Moses as a priority!

I take your point but To’o has his own skill sets that most wingers cannot match…
Many times I have seen him barge over or get a short kick for his teammate to score against 2 or 3 defenders… taller players are often lifted by defenders in similar situations…
Lomax was great - his high ball control is next level atm…

To’o most likely plays game 2, you’re right he does have other skills that make him a very valuable asset to any team.

If I was picking the Australian team I would have Coates and Lomax..

Just on train heading back from game
Blues attack even with 13 men would have not stopped that.

Blues attack was all over the place QLD tore them a new one absolutely destroyed the blues

You could tell how much the QLD combinations were at play tonight DCE Tommy D and the hammer all over us.

Again DCE played the house down tonight best game all year so frustrating watching him

Jake was not seen tonight only would of played very minimal minutes ola on first game had a mixed night but with a few games under his belt will be a blues long stayer

No injuries tonight
Feel for Jake the rest of the team didn't turn up for him

Well done to QLD
Just way too good tonight

 

[Eagle 1]

Agree that Mitchell has X factor but he just does not have the effort levels and imo would have got exposed big time in that game tonight…
To’o is short but actually defends the high ball really well… I thought he and Lomax were very good tonight and we really missed the creativity that Edwards would have offered around the ruck…

Mitchell, Mosses and maybe Edwards as well.

I agree but only because those guys are at the very top also… and also because Cobbo and Crichton would be my Aussie centres…

 

[frank stokes]

I think Edwards and Moses come straight in… personally I would bring Burton in for Suaalii (who will be suspended still I imagine)

 

[The '47ers]

Madge has just screwed every NSW players mind, he blew it. Make changes for sure, but what are going to be thinking coming in 1 game down

That back 4 have some size and speed, I thought Hammer was very strong in the one jumper, follows the ball and is always in support.
