This was a series decided by Mitchells. NSW could not afford to lose Mitchell Moses and Mitch Barnett, nor could they afford Cleary to impersonate Mitchell Pearce.

Qld improved throughout the series while NSW went backwards. He failed to pick the best props the partner Haas. Max King and Stef are not Origin standard. He picked injured players, which meant a disrupted preparation. Qld looked slick and well drilled with a team of fast, fit players. NSW...

Slater focused on selecting fit players so he'd get full sessions done together. Daley hoped a bunch of hurt players would remember their old combinations with minimal prep. It looks like Slater's approach has worked better. Qld are humming while NSW look clunky.

😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃 The Fainus and Turuva killed it

Oh yes he was. I was gobsmacked at just how bad he was. Every time the Dogs got on a roll he'd kill the momentum with a hospital pass. Reminded me of Benji when he was playing badly before moving to Souffs. The coupe de grace was a dud pass resulting in a spilled ball that the Broncos picked up...

Depends on the result of the Roosters game ... can't be smug if you're getting pumped

He needs to be dropped to reserve grade to recover from what's happened. Sexton is much better that LG at this stage. I used to work in OH&S. I saw over and again how people who made dodgy stress claims were always messed up more by playing the victim. Playing victim is unhealthy, and the kid...

Galvin's hospital pass turned the game. Well, one of his hospital passes. As a lot of people figured, the Dogs getting Galvin disrupted their season

True, but they thought they'd at least get a year out of Galvin. That screwed so much of their pre-season work - and it shows. WT did not expect Isaac Moses to pull the same stunt as he did with Mitch Moses - the good ole fake bullying/stress claim. I'd favour a lifetime ban on any player...

Isaac Moses has now derailed two WT seasons. Tigers trained all pre-season with Galvin, Luai, Api and Bula as the spine. Ever since Galvin (re)played the classic Moses move - the mental health card - the team's defence went out the window.

Did Daley ever compare how Stefano and Terrell operated in a team that's on the back foot? Not even close. Big Papa will eat him alive.

Thing is, the WT have become a feeder club. Other clubs can keep promising youngsters as reserves and in lower grades but young players won't wait their turn behind at the Tigers. The club can never build depth. It started with losing Teddy, Paps and Moses. Ever since then, it's been a trend. No...

The team looks less well coached than other teams. Benji's coaching strategy looks like: Plan A - Unleash Galvin Plan B - File not found

It's like the commentators are trying to will Manly to win. So one sided.

At the WT, Galvin could take risks. So he did hotshot plays and made mistakes. He played close to the edge. At the Dogs he's a small fish in a big pool and he has to play percentage. That makes him just a good link player like Brooksy, but with worse defence. Based on last week, I prefer Latu.

Can't stand Ashley Klein. During games he goes through phases where he's really strict and then he eases off. It's hard to know WTF he's going to ping or let go. Well, the league has their live game 3. Yeah, and Stefano was a bad selection. Koloamatangi was the obvious first choice, then May...

Big probs if both Cleary and Moses are still crook for game 3. Katoa is the best HB candidate left but maybe too young and raw for such a big game? But he seems like a cool head ...

I laughed at Galvin talking about how everyone has each others' backs at the Dogs. Let's ask Jackson Topine and see what he thinks about that. Such a wank.

At one point I thought they were going to go down by 50. It was a good comeback, but this team needs more wins to stay away from the bottom four.

It will be interesting to see the effect on the Dogs. They have a stable pairing in Sexton and Burto that's working. If they put Burton in the 7 to accommodate Galvin, they will fail because Burton isn't a 7, and nor is Galvin. I can imagine this derailing their season too, unless they have...
