Ted was MOM.
Come on mate, you know that's just not true - your hatred is blinding your judgment big time. I thought you were better than that.
Of course its true. When he came off at the 20 minute mark (first interchange lol) his jersey looked like it had just came out of the dryer. NSW started winning the ruck when he was replaced.
Nah right from the start with Woods and Fifita, NSW dominated and Klemmer & Woods still provided plenty of go forward when they were on together in the second half, as well.
As for him being replaced with 7 minutes to go - it was 28-4! I suspect that Woods is still carrying that hamstring injury, so why leave him on until the end when the game is all over. I admit he has played better in Origin in the past, but he still did his bit tonight to help get NSW the win.
Woods is never gonna be a hard running Webcke or a Fifita type prop, so I don't know why people continue to harp on about it. He's a workhorse, metre making prop (like others before him) and he always goes forward effectively, making over 100 metres every week, whether we win or lose - every team needs one of them.
We watched two dirfferent games because the ruck was not lost by QLD until at least the 30th minute when the benches all came on. Fifitas damage was mainly done on the edges not up the guts. Woods was easily contained and his defence was at times lazy. He has a lot of people conned and obviously you are one of them. The WT's will thrive without him next year they just have to spend his money wisely.
As for Origin, I love it when he is on the field. He is a glaring weakness and has been every series he has played. Thats why he gets minimal minutes.
