Ashley Klein bingo:
- Make a howler of a call
- Players get aggressive with each other
- Lose control of the game
- Allows a strong tackler to slow play down, then gives a six again on the next tackle
- Suspicious amounts of successive penalties/six agains for the same team, then later on in the game allows it to "flow" in favour of the opposite team
They probably met him or watched him play…

firstly, there is a register of salaries that the public can look at …if an Origin player is getting only $300k…than no doubt this can and will be questioned ..is the NRL investigating stuff like this now ? We don’t know for certain
Also ensures that the player knows exactly what his salary is being recorded as officially …so if he is getting $800k he will know for certain that he is involved in a rort if this is only being recorded at $500k … how do they know now that is the case ?

Benji Marshall: "We've got young Latu Fainu, who is not far off from getting a real good opportunity in the halves and is probably our long-term option there. He just needs a little more match fitness coming back from his hamstring injury for him to play 80 minutes."

Tigers insist Fainu remains long-term five-eighth
Wests Tigers appeared to have a selection dilemma with the emergence of Heath Mason but Benji Marshall still sees Latu Fainu as his long-term five-eighth.

He has some strong points as you have mentioned such as his strong carries out of our danger zone and he’s a good finisher, but it’s about position specific bod shape and physical attributes, something this club doesn’t seem to put a lot of thought into.
We don’t have any wingers other than Lobb who are extremely tall and a good aerial threat and we do not have any wingers that are extremely fast, Staines is the closest we have.
The blueprint for emerging young wingers should be they are either big, strong and powerful to provide strong ball running and tackle bust ability with decent height to be efficient under the high ball, extremely tall to be a very strong aerial threat, but need to also be efficient in their out of the danger zone carries and fast enough to capitalise on chances and half chances, or be lightning fast such as players like Addo-Carr and Khan-Pereira etc
We seem to continue trying to develop players in positions such as the wing who do their best, but do not fit any of the descriptions I have mentioned above.
Will Craig should have been played as a centre if we were looking at him long term as he simply doesn’t have the body shape of physical attributes of what most NRL clubs are looking for in a modern day NRL winger.
Galvin's farewell card?
Julian Rascagneries or something like that?

Reminds of the story where the legend Noel Kelly was sent off twice in a Kangaroos touring match against France in 1964. The game was played in a ground enveloped in fog, and having been sent once in the first half, Kelly thought the referee would not notice him sneaking back on in the second half. (I love footy.)
Which was good coaching from QLD
Everybody knew that there was not going to be many 6 again restarts in this game after all the complaints after game 1.
Those frog’s referees were the original 14th man.
They had to live there so of course looked after their own 😆
