Bird was awesome.

Robbie excellent. He's there for good now.

REFS WERE DISGRACEFUL.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Harsh on Tate, Scott & Myles…

 

[clokan]

Tate has a great game, would have given him 8, Slater doesn't deserve 8, harsh on Williams though he was only on the field for a few minutes

Give the Refs a 10/10 they were brilliant….

Creagh isn't fit to run oranges for an under 9's team!

Tate was one of Qlds best along with Hannant ,Myles and Harrison

Gallen and Bird were unbelieveable in a beaten side

Slater an 8 Don't think so

One Qlder I was a touch disappointed in was Cronk Made some horrible reads in defence and kicking game barely average

Robbie will be there in game 2

 

[WestsSupporter]

Tate was awesome so was Thurston.

 

[TJL0811]

Uate 7? He let In 2 tries
2 for Jennings is quite harsh. I thought he played better than uate, & certainly Played better than carney

JENNINGS A 2?????????????

Did you watch the game? He was electric when he got the ball.

 

[stryker]

No way Slater deserved an 8…his worst game in well over a year.

Best players on the field were Tate, Hayne, Myles, Harrison, Bird...Gallen was good, as was Robbie and Tamou.

Far too many errors from the Blues...You have to be fully professional to beat this QLD side...who incidently as a team were not extraordinary tonight.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Tate was awesome. Copped a lot of criticism for his selection, but he was safe as a bank. Feel for Robbie, he busted his arse and was NSW best player

 

[wicked_j]

I didn't think Gallen and Bird were that great.. Surprisingly, I think Jennings (apart from his entrance to the brawl) and Hayne, along with Farah and Uate were NSW's best. Carney and Pearce I didn't notice much either

Slater had an off game and I didn't think Smith did much special either.

 

[happy_tiger]

Creagh isn't fit to run oranges for an under 9's team!

I'd take him in my young fella's Under 9 side

That said we are desperate though

 

[clokan]

JENNINGS A 2?????????????

Did you watch the game? He was electric when he got the ball.

Probably deserved a 7.5 but lost 5.5 for his brain snap that had him sin binned

 

[Flippedy]

Agree with the general consensus that Slater didn't deserve an 8/10 - old Billy had a bit of a 'Moltzen' tonight :laughing:
Tate and Inglis were fantastic, as were most of the QLD forwards.

Robbie was good - really happy for him. Gallen, Bird, Hayne and Jennings all played well, especially considering the latter two's club form this year. Disappointed with Carney, hope he'll be better for the run and Lewis was unusually quiet. Creagh is still a nuffy at Origin level and Merrin wasn't given enough of a chance to impress.

Ricky doing a Sheens and only using 15 players for the most part :unamused: Someone needs to tell him you can't do that in Origin. Gould said at the end that Tamou was great in taking the ball up and making metres, but he needs someone similar to help him out - I vote for Woods :sunglasses:

 

[cnx_tigers]

We lost TONNES of momentum when Creagh came on. It should have been WOODS.

Ben Creagh is a good NRL player, but the bloke just dead set isn't up to Origin.

 

[WestsSupporter]

Did Ben Creagh even get on? I didn't see him at all.
