Can't work out how Cooper got selected. His only role is as a sidekick to Thurston.

Patriot can still remember a game at Purtell Park in 78 ?? , when the clock actually stopped and the players didn't know
Wests Captain Coach was Ron Raper , Johnny youngest brother , he took a shot at goal with Wests down 8-4 thinking 15 minutes were left but actually were only a few minutes left
Great memories for this black duck
Wests bought some premierships in the 70's but paid for it in the long term
My Uncle switched clubs to play with his Brisbane State High mates in about 77 at Easts , he was about as popular as the Nazis were in the 30-40's in our household
Remember seeing him playing a Colts GF v Police Academy at Bishop Park , coached by Bennett
Gavin Jones was one of his best men at his wedding

Footage of 1975 GF Wests v Redcliffe , was a 6 year old at this one
For you young NSW supporters the bloke interviewed before the game was Barry Muir , the man who coined you blokes "Cockroaches "

After watching most of a replay this afternoon,
I wonder why there’s so many saying that the future for Qld isn’t to
Bad.
Ponga is getting rave reviews, for a performance that was reasonable at best despite having an extra player for the last 10 minutes of the game,
However even with Gaining Ponga, (balanced by losing arguably the best Qld full back in SOO history)
There is a much bigger downside to their near future,
Just a quick at their performances show that the replacements that they needed aren’t yet unearthed.
Halfback,…...... Hunt proved to be extremely unreliable in key moments in big games ..... probably Gone with no standout replacement. Maybe Morgan if he comes back the same as before
Taylor the best of small bunch after that.
Centre...........Chambers. highy regarded until this series, but shown up by Mitchel, and plays with his mouth more than not. Probably Was safe at the moment,I
Inglis
Ok at the moment, but Slower than he was, good defence though needs to find someone after next year at best,
No one stands out
5/8....... ok there unless an injury to Munster , then not much
Milford is lucky to be in first grade let alone SOO
Wings...........ok there with Holmes and Gagai , possibly room forOates if needed , or on the bench,
Back rowers........Napa needs to learn something apart from trying big hits which only come off every now and them, possibly safe
Cooper showing signs of being over it.
Wallace hasn’t shown much enthusiasm for SOO
Arrow looks like he’s going to stay
McGuire probably one of the best at the moment
But he’s good for a few stupid penalties in every game
Kaufusi by far the best of the Qlders in both games
And is safe
Hess has dropped off badly this year and has been
a major disappointment as has the Canberra second rower (can’t remember his name), played well in game 1 , but can’t remember seeing him on the field last night
Mc Cullough is about the best Hooker that’s available
And is no guaranteed pick
I don’t care who wins game three, It’s difficult to win all three for anyone , but Qld have much more problems than a Ponga can help, and I can’t see where the better players are,
Especially after listening to the residents game yesterday, where Qld got pasted
Some of the out of form Qlders such as Hess, Wallace etc, May aim up next year, but they’ll have to as the better replacements just aren’t jumping out of the woodwork

Be extremely surprised if he is sacked after one series lost
How many goes did Lozza get ??

Right person , wrong position in post
@ said:
It's not about the series loss, it's about whether or not he's the best coach. The Qld hierarchy seemed reluctant to hire him to begin with… Kevvie just sort of fell over the line after Green was ruled out by the Cowboys. The Broncos seem to have distanced themselves from Walters succeeding Bennett as well. Great bloke, but is he a good coach?

That is one of the most negative spins ive ever read.
Qld isnt going anywhere, its a small transitional phase while they settle on a half back and find a hooker. Everything else is coming along just fine.
