At the game the tackle upending tedesco first 2 mins surprise no sin bin

Thought Suaallii should have got bin
Klein is a ref who impacts results
Nicco kicking very weak
Lomax ia a dud tackler
Game ruined as a spectacle
Lucky i dont care much to me league is a tribal club game

His defence is twice as good as Api's. Api is the better player, no doubt, but I'm impressed by Robson's defence tonight. He stops them in their tracks

Agreed - and that is why Steve Walters superceded Benny in the Australian team too

I'd still prefer a dual threat at hooker if the defensive gap is not too great!

What could he do?
The kid smashed Walsh directly in the head with full force and intent after he passed the ball.
QLD lose their best attacking weapon for the whole game.
It’s a fair decision.

He dipped his head aiming toward Walsh’s chest/middle. Walsh slipped or ducked a little at the last moment. I think the ref was overawed with the impact of the tackle and overreacted with the send off. Watching the replay there wasn’t intent. Should’ve been a sin bin.

Benny twice as good as Walters.

It is hard finding the right balance. Robson starting with Api off the bench could be dynamite, but also need to find coverage for outwide. I wonder if Craig Wing is fit?

The QLD attack is clunky and defence not brutal enough. Plenty of errors and infringements as well. NSW are completing better, and despite less possession, are leading several stats in attack. Certainly throwing it around more.
Had the Walsh incident not occurred, I’m not convinced QLD would be ahead. Need to switch on….lose this game and they’ll never ever hear the end of it.

Chammas at his best


Nicho Hynes looks like he's suffering from a bout of stage fright! Can someone get Jarome Luai to put the No.7 jersey on at half-time? The Blues need someone to take this game by the scruff of the neck but Hynes looks timid and unwilling. Before picking his team for game one, NSW coach Michael Maguire was looking for players that walked towards pressure, not away from it. In the last two weeks, Hynes has ran from it.

"It looks like the wheels are starting to fall off a little for the Blues. Not a good sign when, on the last tackle, Reece Robson struggles to make it to dummy half, Nicho Hynes fills in at hooker and Zac Lomax is forced to put up an ordinary kick that saw Queensland start the set with all the momentum. Then they just exposed the Blues for numbers on the same edge Suaalii would've been defending. This could get very ugly

Nothing to do with the young Roosters hype-machine leaving them a man short...

Sorry to state the obvious, but how did NSW select the sacked coach of the worst performing NRL team in modern history? And why has Brad, Brandy, Joey and Co been so smug? This was over after the send off (when was the last hard send off so early). But this series is over and poor for the game.
