Well tonight proves that if you can keep Nathan Cleary quite and man up in the middle, than the riff are beatable.... provided Sutton isn't officiating

Better side won, and I thought Tedesco was phenomenal, outdone maaaaybe only by Ponga. It's insane that Teddy genuinely doesn't ever seem to tire. So often no-one on a team wants to touch the footy, and then Teddy takes the run at full force, bouncing of tackles. I definitely think he's still the best player in the game.

I don't want to be too harsh, but I thought in game 2, Cleary only really started dominating when we were already on top. I thought Teddy and a few others did the heavy-lifting to get us into that position.
I feel that Cleary showed he has trouble really turning the tide for his team, when they're struggling. He made some good runs, but felt like his kicking was pretty ordinary.

What a game. Old school brutal and good to see a punch up again! Thought Ponga was outstanding, had some mates though.

Hunt and DCE put on a kicking masterclass too

[Lydon]

Hopefully Hunt is rested after that performance

Dragons very rarely rest their players,I’d be surprised if Hunt doesn’t play..

[Monaco's Fan Club]

I Doubt it - Tedesco and Toops will be flat though I suggest - More mentally than physically

We will lose Collins and possibly Crichton as he played the full 80

Plus, I heard JWH probably won’t be ready for Saturday ..

We are in trouble

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Hopefully next series Cleary and Burton start in the halves, with Turbo and Latrine back in the centrrs. Laui plays left right out

[Rocky Rhodes]

It's time to admit it....Fittler is more useless than Fairfax as a coach. Needs to go earthing in the deep pacific ocean with a 100kg noose around his neck........ok maybe not the noose but he needs to go. Did zero to change the game...picked players like that sharks centre who were clearly not up to it. Sure he won us one premiership in 50 years but that was as a player...useless as a coach.

[Johnny Brass]

I'll put my hand up I was wrong, qld were too good.
That's why they should never have got rid of the biff, it's a different game when blokes know they might get one bounced off their whiskers. Takes all the bluff and bluster out of them.

[milanja]

Hopefully Hunt is rested after that performance

Doubt they’d rest their best player when their season is on the line this week too.

[Roosterfarian]

Cam Smith the bias ****. How are the qld commentators allowed to scream on winning tries ever time on telecasts. Its bullshit. Never see a NSW commentator do that.

[Noosa Rooster]

That game was lost at the selection table.
There is no way S Crichton should have been there instead of Jack Wighton.

Best game of footy I’ve seen in a while though.
It sucks living in Qld at times like these!

[Eggspert]

Great game, throwback to the old days of rough & tumble & pure guts & desire to win a footy game.

Proves you don't need a stack of tries in a game to be exciting & what a difference it makes when penalties & 6 agains are put away.

Anyway back to NRL touch footy comp now where the refs affect games.

I know Gus can be biased commentating on games but gees tonight was like the broadcast was only shown in QLD

As an ex NSW coach, his admiration and biased commentary love for QLD is sickening.

[rented tracksuit]

1. NSW clearly missed the presence of Turbo and Latrell this series
2. Burton should've had more kicks (the kid can kick bombs but can't throw bombs ... blood hell)
3. Talakai took up a bench spot unnecessarily
4. Teddy should get man of the series
5. Angus played his best game of 2022
6. Cleary lost his composure
7. No pressure on the Queensland spine players
8. Murray proved to be a crash test dummy at best this series
9. Victor Radley should've got a bench spot
10. Queensland were just more hungry and more aggressive.

I think Whighton could have made a difference in that game.
