Not totally against it, but Mitch will make sure he is fit in time to put his hand up for the decider.

"Agreed on Tedesco. He's an origin player through and through. NSW selectors need to understand this - they have only had 45 years of experimentation to get it right! QLD often select players that may not be performing best in that position, but they…"

NSW committed the cardinal sin in rugby league they were ill disciplined they committed way to many errors and not respecting the pill and what made it worse they didn't play to the conditions.
The first half sunk them and there was no way back for them regardless of what the score said at the end.They lost this game in the first half with the worst origin performance in recent memory.
Queensland had a worse completion percentage than NSW. NSW didn't capitalize on their chances until 2nd half. I don't blame Klein but 8-0 penalties in first half doesn't help either.
But Queensland still had 3 more errors, they were able to capitalize when it mattered.
Was always going to be a QLD win, Stevie wonder could see the ref giving Queensland a helping hand 6 nil down the ref decided to give them 4 sets in a row to share the love and get them back in the game. I got on the odds of $2.90 for a QLD win daylight robbery.
Then with 20 mins to go after a few too many scotches I couldn't believe my eyes odds of $3.50 for Munster man of the match..
Moses plays we win. His defence alone would've saved a few tries. Luai was ordinary for mine.
Nearly switched it off at half time due to the reffing, and thinking it was a forgone result. Qld weren't that good and Lomax is on target with his kicks we also win. NRL helped get that result for a decider.

Mitchell has unquestionably improved his defence enormously. But Cleary would leave him for dead as a defensive player. I was never a John's fan as to his overall greatness, be he is the only half back comparable to Cleary (he covers every play) defensively that I have seen. Mortimer was a great cover defender, Alf was tricky with his side throws, I could go back to Billy Smith, St George and Australian half back in the 60's to get the type of defence that Johns and Cleary achieve. Don't forget John's was defensively magnificent as a hooker as well.
NB Cronk was handy, Thurston could be good when he needed to as could Sterling.....just some half backs, great ones, are not necessarily great defenders.
Further note, I don't particularly like Cleary but objectively he is the best half I have seen.
Moses would of done SFA more than who was out there last night, the facts are that the rain played against NSW and helped Qld and then we had the 8 -0 penalty count in the first half which in last night's conditions would of been like 16 -0 in dry conditions.
If it were a dry track NSW would won easily even with the lopsided penalty count , we still came back in 2nd half and ended up scoring more tries even with Cleary on one leg for the whole game.
Agree Frankie.
