@Woodsie (Trent) lurking about, waiting to stick the boot in to old Dessie boy again... but shut down.

Its a fair question, Jake did nothing to demonstrate that he's a $900K player this year. We need to gauge whether this is just because of how he's been told to play or whether he's playing to his potential and we just payed serious overs

NSW have such a ****e mentality. Cull Frizell, Cordner, Papenhouzen in. Didn’t watch close enough but how did gutho go?

 

[Disco]

Gutho out, Crichton in
Murray out, Finucane in

Cordner with these head knocks is a worry, who are the other edge backrowers in the squad?

Guthos hair went a lot better than Gutho did.

Add that to having to remember to ..

Learn and call every player by their first name .
Call the number of every tackle ..
Call players off side and advise them not to get involved ..
Call when to break from the scrum ..
Call when the defence can move up ..
Have 159,413 rules that can be interpreted 879 different ways ...

And the big one. Telling the captain he can use the captains challenge.

Onya love.

Nathan Brown for mine. A gun player who only knows one way at one speed.

He’d be unreal. Not sure wether he wouldn’t clock someone and get sent though.

What are negative plays? Do they mean dropped ball? If so, why complicate the terminology?
Geeze, our sport is being hijacked by idiots.

The Dancing Queen got owned & was responsible for QLD opening try. Also gave QLD an intercept.....basically was $hite!

NSW forwards definitely went missing, and effected Cook threat from dummy half. Thought the turning point was the way QLD forwards came out and bashed NSW in second half and DCE hand his hands on everything from then. Great game.

I think NSW will be a lot better in second game. Went away from their game plan and have strike players like Crighton who I would bring into centre and play Wighton at 5/8. Sonic to come into selection although would not drop walker off the bench. Cam Murray was a big loss.

Listening to MMM this arvo in the car and they had Mark Geyer on talking about the game and one thing he said was pretty much spot on. When Qld came back in the 2nd half, NSW had taken the foot off the accelerator and just could never get it going again. Their forwards were largely out on their feet which as you said hampered Cook's running game, and it also saw to it that Cleary and Keary were kept out of if and it really wasn't until Cody Walker came on that NSW even looked like threatening in the last 20.

NSW will definitely be better for the run because a lot of them hadn't played for a month. But, at the same time ... the exact same applies to Queensland doesn't it.

Fittler & the whole team were too cocky! We’ll win this easy lololol......the arrogant look on his face when NSW scored the first two tries showed what I’ve thought for a long time......useless coach.

What Fittler has proved with his coaching of NSW, as opposed to when he failed as Chooks coach, is that he needs the elite players to be successful.

In that respect it reminds me a bit of Meninga, who also needs elite players to be successful. Can't coach and succeed without them imo.

you really are becoming a sad and pathetic figure with your constant cries for attention ...

Thank you, the one observation I was able to make was that he looked a lot more effective when he played direct, took the ball at pace over the advantage line and passed at the line to a support player also playing straight ... than he did when he takes 2 steps laterally to get some width in the attack ..

But as he played both ways on Wednesday night I guess there is not a lot of difference that can really be introduced into his game in attack ... other than to mix it up ...

In defence I think he always plays a 9/10 ...
