I think people thought they were lying about Grant being underdone etc. obviously if grant is match fit he would be picked over Mahoney. But yeah that wasn't the case here and hindsight is an easy thing but Mahoney should have played 100%
Harry Grant missed 8 tackles, while the QLD centres only missed 6 between them. Therefore the Blues centres were given too much space, and the responsibility for that was in the middle, where Grant missed all those tackles. If Mahoney had played I reckon it would've been closer.
They rolled the dice and paid the price... Usually, these decisions work out well for Qldrs so it's nice to see them get flogged. I'm so glad Mahoney wasn't out there tonight after that, and glad he won't play in the next game because he would be copping some undeserved criticism if they lose again for sure. Let Harry cop some it.
"Twiddle turns 22 this year. Can play fullback and even 5/8. So his future at the club is blocked. So he would have to go England or another NRL team for a crack IMO.
I would like to see him developed into a utlity player that can cover fullback,…"
"Teancum will make his debut this year. I think he will battle it out with Doorey and Tuivaiti for the bench rotation. Not just making up the numbers "
"EA how old is Twiddle i watch a few lower grade games last year seemed to have a good future . Has he been training with the top boys . What's your opinion of him going further "

Few people here were defending Grant's inclusion over Mahoney. Funny.

Not sure Mahoney would have changed the outcome - maybe he was lucky not to be responsible for QLDs worst ever loss
yea Mahoney wouldn't changed the outcome but he deserved to play over Grant.
Mitchell and Turbo were sensational tonight.
