  • Go Blues!!! Suck sh1te to Yellow belly Snake and Fanny Fung two headed Qld c@ck chokers
  • Damien Cook is a star!
  • I thought Cleary was average

    My fears with regards James Roberts defence against GI were justified, even if it didn’t hurt us on the scoreboard.

    Cook & Teddy are a brilliant combo.

    Wade Graham needs to come back in.

    QLD’s middles are average at best.

    JAC & Mitchell are gonna have long Origin careers.

    QLD are really gonna miss Cam Smith.

    • Wade Graham? Lol. Blues would have lost tonight if Graham was playing. Qld would of slotted 12 pts in penalty goals alone.
  • Damien Cook showed once again a) how damn good he is, b) how important a quality #9 is and c) how far behind we are with our 2 #9's. Yes, we are in need of another big body up front but I actually think the 9 is far more important. A top shelf 9 can make even an ok forward pack go a whole lot better... combine them with a good pack and sky's the limit. Sadly we have neither.

    • I'd like to do a calculation and compare which team's dummy half was better in any match, and compare that to win/loss ratios. I hundred percent agree with you as to the critical nature of getting that position right.

      • which begas the question - why did we not make any attempt whatsoever to replace Peats? Bizarre.

      • It would be interesting and you have to think massively lop sided in favour of the team with the better DH. The Warriors surprised a few early in the season and I think every conversation I heard when talking about them was how well Isaac Luke was going. Souths are the same with Cook... Dragons and McGuiness... there's 3 out of the top 4 teams on the ladder.

        Panthers maybe bend the rule a little - they certainly don't have poor DH options but not up with the other 3. Damien Cook showed his potential so clearly at the Dogs - very, very smart pick up by Souths... he was always going to be this good. Most important role on the field I think as so much stems from it.

        King and Kaysa... oh well...

    • Agree, I've been saying it for ages, we need direction & that comes from our 9.
  • Both teams pretty avg to be honest from pat origin games.

"Whose going to do the main goal kicking this year? Moses, Pezet, Russell ? Or maybe another? Pezet is very good. Moses very good, Russell ok but struggles with kicks that are closer to the sidelines. "

"Just no injuries please. I dont care if we lose. Means nothing if we rock up to Melbourne round 1 and get flogged.
Mitch should kick a few balls, make 1-2 tackles, pass the ball once or twice and then come off.
