  • Such a fast team.
    Teddy, Trbo, Roberts, Addo, Cook, Peachey
  • Shocked Timmy didnt get the call up.

  • clean sweep.
  • should have cotric on the other wing. We never seen to learn the golden rule, "don't play people out of position". In saying that it's great to see some youth and enthusiasm in there.

    Maybe freddy could coach us..............

  • The question that hasn't been asked is why the mass changes now when the big qld stars are gone. We should have blooded some of these players already even if it was from the bench.
    I wish fitler was coach years ago as Daley just copied exactly what other nsw coaches did for years and tried defend way to victory.
    I like the selections but feel with 3 defensive liabilities in Maloney, Roberts and Mitchell we maybe should have had Euan aitken as 1 centre to limit our defensive liabilities.
  • Where's Moses? Pfft!
  • Unfortunately still with us Ape as I see him as part of our trouble. 

    • Agreed. 

  • Wheres Aaron Woods
  • Where’s Wade Graham ? , He is to good to leave out , NSW pack is to Soft in defence , NO BIG HITTERS , Graham would get under QLD skin. , 26 to 8 Qld !!
