I agree 100% i would pick Katoa he young really good player

There is no way i pick Moses and Clearly as i said its a young man game look at QLD they drop DEC and pick young Dearen and won 2

I think half the side sitting on thin fence

And i can tell you now i bet next year QLD have 2 home games not like DUMB NSW HAVE 2 AWAY GAMES 1 HOME

  The days of either Sydney or Brisbane having two games in one series are over. The NRL / ARLC are selling one game each series to the highest bidder between Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne. Eventually, that will be expanded to Auckland.

Its a team sports champ ..Hello??lol Clueless blog

Cleary will be an immortal, he has accomplished everything, he may not have the natural ball playing skills like Sterlo, Kenny, Thurston's And Johns etc but his the ultimate professional and ahead of Andrew Johns at the same stage of his career- Brett Kenny shits all the players ive mentioned and still no proper recognition, he out played Wally's regularly but people want to heap praise on Wally's Lewis, Johns , freedy aka space cadet ...lol the NRL is about politics.. and what have you accomplished lately?? NOT MUCH.

  Cleary will defintely be an immortal if he remains on this tracjectory.
  
  In terms of it being a 'team sport', I agree. However, Cleary was honestly terrible last night. He provided little to none in attack, and some of the passes he was throwing were very uncharacteristic.

A couple of clear things came from that game;
1. Cleary is not Origin elite and shouldn't be in any conversations of the all-time greats if he can't win a series.
2. Daley can't coach, he doesn't get another chance after that. They had no game plan and were running one outs like under 9's.
3. NSW lacked speed across the park in that game. We have the power, but couldn't get through them.
4. The Panthers hogs of Edwards, Yeo, and Cleary were attacking handbrakes all game. At Least Luai had some creative moments.

The whole team was extremely poor. Daley isn't an Origin coach

Main thing I see with Cleary is he's so robotic and structured. QLD defence eats that up. Moses plays a bit more eyes up and what's in front of him

Which Panthers players will back up?

  I think Edwards & Yeo will back up.
  
  Cleary & To'o have both been under injury clouds, and Cleary looks like a week off would do him good.
  
  Martin picked up a hand injury in the first half, and came off prior to full time (not sure if hand injury was the reason). However, depending on how severe he may be rested also.

"Cleary is not the only reason why NSW lost, but he's never been a big factor in NSW winning.
Don't get me wrong, he's a great player and is godly at the club level, but he just hasn't been able to stand out at the origin level.
Also a half's job is…"

"His played more games than any other nsw halfback. I think he has won1 series and never won a decider. His papers should be stamped now for sure. Yeo is not a captain or a ball player at that level. IS only a workhorse. As soon as Laurie got picked…"

"Reece Robson is a decent defensive 9 but the difference in class between the 9s was huge. Qld laid in the ruck every time nsw got a quick play the ball. All Robson had to do was fall over the guy in the ruck and he would of got a penalty. If you're…"
