People hate on him I rate him as a bloke & player

Same here. He is passionate, articulate, knows the game inside and out.
Great career.

 

[Telltails]

Steven Crichton is a great player.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

Only changes for game 2 should be Edwards and Moses replacing Tedesco and Hynes. Everyone else played pretty well.

Great footy player

Madge, keep his Captain on the bench for 65 minutes

 

[Strider]

Burton would have been good to have on the bench

Yup - so dependable.

Mate, perfect captain. I'd love 2 play alongside him

 

[Tito Santana]

McInnes has been shit

 

[Snidest 0]

Yeah he has been very ordinary.

Not baiting you champ - and I appreciate your objective acknowledgement of what has been a diabolical performance by the incumbent Australian Test captain!

But I have closely watched this fraud and was confident in my assessments of his character! @upthetigers

Jurbo been sitting on that chair like a mascot lmao

Nicho Hynes had a very nice run of form, and since then has been viewed at that standard - where in reality he hasn't been anywhere near it.

Unfair to judge him after this because of the send off, but not looking like a rep player yet. Definitely better options there.

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Dearden is a great player

I think Hudson Young is a useless selection. I'd be replacing him too. Angus Crighton not great either and may be under pressure.

I thought McGuinnes, Leinu and Robson were great.

Don’t disagree it’s unlucky. But he launched himself with his shoulder with little wrap. We have to protect the head. I just see articles of all the previous players with dementia and dying in their 60s. It’s every other week. I’m 40. I want to watch origin when I’m 60.

I know it's sad with the head injuries and truly respect your opinion

But geez

Some things can't be avoided

I know it's hard but that was an accident

I could accept a sin bin but that decision in the 1st 5 minutes of origin one had already decided the series

Why bother as a NSW fan watching after the 1st 5 minutes after origin one?

 

[Year_of_the_Tiger]

Because he was also the successful coach of the no. 1 ranked Test team New Zealand!

He wasn't the right pick - but nor were Freddie or Laurie!

At least we don't have Tevita Pangai on the bench due to a tip from Gus...

My guess is Freddy and Co are quite happy. Has shown that he is simply no where this standard imo. Who is right for the role? I’d take Sticky Stuart or anyone at this stage. 😂 This was a very poorly selected side, starting with Nico. Sin bin ruined it but i don’t think we’ll go close with this team in two dead rubbers

Even without Munster, Dearden played well

 

[Tucker]

This is close to what the score should be when you have a one man overlap for 90% of the game.
NSW have impressed with their fight.
They may go to Melbourne as favourites.

Even without Munster, Dearden played well

Dearden is a cracking player.

 

[Strider]

I'd bring in Api, Moses and Edwards for game 2 and I'd be confident.
