I know its early in the game but we now see why Merritt has never played SOO - what a terrible read in defence.
 
Some here were blowing up about Ferguson being selected ahead of him in game one. Chalk and cheese.
 
I would have gone for Taufua over Merritt, stronger player all round IMO.
 
Worst half of football by an individual in my Origin memory.
I think he's earned a big red line through his name for future selections.
Not surprised though, we all knew he would be targeted.
 
Wouldnt matter who you had out there. Queensland has blown 4 scoring opportunities. Score should be in the high 20's.

Only blueman having a go is Fifita. The rest better change their attitude fast or she'll be a flogging.
 
hope they put woods back out there soon. fifita and woods will loolk good

maloney needs to get the boot and reynolds should be there now.

farah needs to lift his game, too many stupid options in the opp. 20.
 
Merritt was dreadful. He should never play rep footy again. I thought Maloney was very poor too. Falling off tackles all night and some stupid penalties.

Did matter - Merrit useless like we all thought .
As usual in QLD the referees gave the game to the home side

Dont think that affected the game in the same way.
Should have been no one in the bin - and if you take that line then Bird shouldn't have gone either.
Maybe a sore loser but can see we we get short sheeted by a ref overawed by the situation.
 
Refs won the QLDers the first half, but we lost the 2nd half by ourselves. No gelling of plays, no go forward no anything. QLD won it and would have won it with proper reffing but you can't deny that it WAS poor reffing.

We better play a lot better Game III else we'll be seeing 8 in a row.

Someone with common sense and fairness mind you if the refs affect the first quarter it has put a mindset on all players and the game overall thats the problem with the game the power the regs have

The refs won the first half? what a crock of BS.

Qld out-enthused and smashed your side off the field. When we didnt score we forced repeat sets. We played Rugby League and you got schooled.

If you want a scapegoat, blame your forwards for giving away so many penalties because they tired too early, blame your halves who showed no leadership and blame your wingers for their defensive reads.
 
I say it all the time, put Hayne, Morris, Uate or Ferguson on the wing for Souths and they will score 25 tries a season. Unlike Merritt those guys will create something out of nothing. Thank god Hayne will be sweet for game 2 and we can have a winger who doesn't need a 10m hole to score a try.

Daley admits on TripleM he instructed Merritt to jam in on GI as part of game plan. Daley has NFI…

Why am I not surprised?!
The winger is suppose to defend the way the centre defends. If Morris jams in, Merritt jams in too. If Morris slides, Merritt slides. Morris slid all night and Merritt rushed out of the line jamming in all night gifting Queensland opportunities to score which they took. It was just poor defense and something that shouldn't have happened. Trust Morris to cover Inglis which he has.
