NSW really missed Turbo tonight

NSW really missed Turbo tonight

Can’t replace likes of Turbo and Trell. Both unbelievable in the big moments and also lift the team that extra 1% just by being in the team

I said this when we lost to the Worst QLD team in 40 years and I'll say it again... Freddy is not a good coach. Team selections are iffy and team movement and tactics crap...

I'm with you regarding Freddy. He's been schooled before and he'll be schooled again in this series by a first-timer. I'd rather be wrong on this though.
Oh, and eff the maroans.

Toups and Teddy were awesome.

[MCMLXVI]

Clearly couldn’t put one kick close to the tryline, terrible game from him.

He should just change his name to 'Ashtray on a Motorbike', or perhaps get a new shirt reading; 'My dad went to 1st grade and all that I got was this lousy nepotism'.

[King Salvo]

He is definitely not of Origin standard.

Matterson was quite good - Not sure what game some watch

37 Minutes

10 Runs - 90 Metres

27 Tackles - 0 Misses

0 Errors

More a case of NSW being rather conservative with their game as when they started to play some footy they created opportunities only to be stopped by last ditch QLD scrambling defence.

QLD picked an inform team and obviously Slater , Thurston , Smith are no mugs so they would have come up with a game plan and tactics to nullify NSW and the main NSW players.

Great game by the rooster boys.

Teddy was immense. Made huge metres, threatened around the ruck all night and was the only consistent threat in attack. I don't know what else he could have done, it's a shame the rest of the spine was so poor. On another note, can we please get him some shorts that fit?

Tupou has some really strong and tough carries, particularly at the start of the match hitting the big boys right in the middle. 26 runs, over 200 metres and 77 post contact metres. It's a shame Cleary didn't set up any kicks to him beyond the first 15 minutes as his aerial threat was wasted.

Collins was a huge asset for QLD. When he came on in the first half he made a big difference, punching holes in the middle and changed the tide. 12 runs, over 130m and over 60 post contact metres. All in less than one half of footy. Hopefully he can carry this over into the chooks because he was a completely different player.

Freddy was well and truly schooled tonight. Queersland knew what they could get away with and Freddy was clueless and won't have any answers. As good a player as Wighton is, he was out of position and NSWs attack was disjointed.

[Eggspert]

Whichever commentator claimed that Issiah Yeo is the best player in the game needs to watch this game

What? Who said that?

[Rooster_6]

Don’t need to, I already know his 1st run tonight won’t come close in any of his runs in either game you mentioned.

I’m not disputing how good he has been this year, I just wish he would run as hard for us on game day.

Like every run for this guy is intense, what level of hardness are you looking for?

Stats don’t always translate.
on paper he looks like he had a decent game but it’s funny how they quote that he didn’t miss any tackles, that’s because at times he didn’t even try to tackle and just let attackers run straight past him.

NSW really missed Turbo tonight

Turbo and Latrell, they were playing to their edges all night looking for the ghosts of Latrell and Turbo.

Admittedly Jack Wighton was great but Crichton and Staggs both just not at level tonight.

[lordteddy]

I said this when we lost to the Worst QLD team in 40 years and I'll say it again... Freddy is not a good coach. Team selections are iffy and team movement and tactics crap. Stephen Crichton has to be the most overrated player in the League, along with Clint Gutherson, Campbell Graham, Cody Walker

How can you say that about a man that had the genius idea to play Anasta at fullback!

Our middle defence went to crap when he was on the field, his movement was just so slow he was off the pace of the game in the middle. Had some good carries but really contributed to NSW’s downfall.

NSWs attack was in disarray. Cleary, Luai and wighton were a circus.
