Blame Fittler. He had one of his interchange players sit on the bench for 70 minutes, only coming on to replace an injured centre. He obviously had no plan for Hynes, whereas Slater utilised all 4 of his bench players effectively. Fittler is notorious for making questionable selections, but at the very least he should have a legitimate plan for the cooked selections he does make. Not "We'll pick him to appease everyone, but we'll sit him on the bench for the entire game or until someone gets injured".
Expected hynes to be a hero on debut when he’s been on his ass for 70 minutes. Tedesco shouldn’t of let those two tries in, let alone be outjumped by a prop
@@russoswerve7856 If Turbo doesn't get injured, does Hynes even play at all? Fittler had no plan for him.
@@Mahatheyew Freddy said in the post match presser that he was waiting for an outside back to be inured
@@cmoove3753 Yep. Except this time I don't think Hynes would have even got a run if not for Turbo going down. He literally had 0 plan for the guy. Disgraceful.
Great comment Fred
Got to respect Joey cause he is never biased with his analysis. Even when he talks about Newcastle he won’t make excuses or when he talks about Bronx a team he probably hates he will give a fair assessment of where they’re at
Yep even gave a nod to Cam Smith sitting next to him that he was one of the only hookers that could play 80 minutes in Origin and excel these days. Love to Joey.
Doesnt change the fact that we lost smh
Joey is way more humble at this point than “high & mighty” Freddy
Never biased? Hahaha he routinely calls all the Blues players amazing and the best ever. When they go missing after they lose, then he digs in.
He's the attacking coach isn't he?
Footage of Freddy having a laugh after the game in the sheds. They don't get it.
so many smiles in the NSW dressing room after this loss, wtf???
They don't care that much, it's a Queensland thing, always has been
Wouldn't see that happen in QLD sheds
You said it, its as though they’re relieved that the game is over.
People from nsw just don’t have the same passion.
Dont cry to us, go tell your mate Freddy
🤣🤣🤣
Call Joey a wambulance 🚑
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol he was asked for an honest assessment, gave it and didn't blame bs or qld, idk what else you want lmao
👏🤣, you hit the nail on head
Life long NSW supporter, not surprised one bit QLD won because we just don't get origin. As soon as Flegler got sent (what a joke should've been a penalty play on), I knew QLD would turn it on and win. To all suffering NSW fans like me, the secret is to support NSW but punt on QLD so your mental health doesn't collapse every May to June.
LOL! I thought I was the only one that did that hahaha.
Wasn’t even a penalty it was a head clash should’ve just been play on even Joey was bewildered. NSWRL for a reason though. We did that streak against NSW+ the refs every year only reason those games were close
Haha good one! That's what Joey should do!🤣
I support nsw and punt on qld. Softens the blow
Standing around smiling and laughing after a loss like that in the change rooms shows alot about the blues if that was maroons that lost they would be devastated shows how much character them maroons have hard work beats talent all the time !
Well said. Performance at this level is built on character. Our NSW players are happy to believe their hype.
Beautiful Thursday in QLD- drinking the tears of NSW
Enjoy . NSW sux !!🤣🤣
😂😂😂and I am a NSWelsh man!
We really don't care that much mate, that's the problem
New South Wasted? 😂🤣🤣
I’m not worried about the defence stopping after the kick, I’m more worried about collins out jumping Tedesco for the ball
Where the images from the NSW changing room from after the game? If so, im horrified by the scenes i saw. How can you be laughing and joking after being beaten? I would even tell my wife, mother, children to bugger off after the game, id be that upset.
You would never see a qld team member in the sheds with a smile on their face after a loss.
I’ve seen it on many occasions.
And Tyson with a beer in each hand
It looked weird, looked like a winning locker room.
It looked very strange ??? 4:10 top left corner of the screen
Its funny watching the sheds post-match and it's almost like a game never happened. And the Wags, can't stand them inside there.
Love the passion Joey has for NSW! Coming from a die hard QLD fan ✊ maroons just too good cherry-evans the GENERAL 💥🙌
Martin, Murry and To'o were the only blues to play like they deserved to be there.
I think a few others had good games, crichton and luai put in a solid effort. But didnt feel like an origin game for some reason. Game 2 should bring out a bit more passion.
Api was class.
@@enterpassword3313 they just played at their usual club level. none of them lifted for origin.
@@bigfish6337 I agree, forgot api
Toa was dogshit😊
Honestly there is nothing wrong with a former blues player being upset with a loss...that just shows he is passionate about his state and team. I would expect the same reaction from a QLD great like fatty if QLD played terrible, without any issues from fans. I actually thought the forwards were better for the blues (Based on their defensive performance in the middle), and the backs were better for the maroons (Defended out of their skin on the edge).
Johns is supposed to be the assistant coach. If he's just a commentator it's fine, but that is incredibly disloyal from one of the coaching staff, bagging the team in public. I would be filthy if I was a blues player.
@@owenrees7544 someone has to tell em
@owens I think he was describing how they played, and was not bagging them. He didn't individually call out/undermine anyone. I do agree that an assistant coach (Cameron Smith and Andrew Johns), should not be allowed to commentate at the same time (only an origin game, not NRL). It's obviously tough to commentate and be unbiased when your part of coaching staff.
@@tyronebiggums3853 if you're on the coaching staff you tell them behind closed doors.
I was at the game in the Riverbank Stand behind the goals. From up where I was it was very noticeable that whenever the Blues were attacking in Qld's half, most of their play was going down their left. In the Qld 20 the Penrith scrum base trio of Cleary, Luai and Yeo were all but ignoring Frizell, Turbo and Fox out on the right. Almost all of their attack went left where Martin, Crichton and To'o were. Yes NSW scored twice down there, but it became predictable for the Qld defence on their own line.
NSW need to take a leaf out of Slater's book and make some tough calls. Both Hammer and Walsh came in over players who had dominated at Origin level but were inspired selections. Teddy and Turbo are just not playing well and were exposed. Edwards in and Latrell or even likes of Whighton in for Turbo would be a good start.Given Cleary is not dominating at Origin level Hynes needs his chance in the half back jersey. With hindsight I think Slater won the game before kick off by out selecting / coaching the NSW coaching /selection staff big time.
Wait i thought whighton retired from origin?
What about Cleary and Hynes in the starting halves.
@@jj-lw3zi True forgot that
Blues just dont have the heart for Origin
Penrith doesn’t have the heart.
Face it, NSW you need Latrell and Cook. And put Campbell Graham on. Bring in Dylan Edwards. These players have heart.
lol there was nothing 50/50 about that knock on. A dubious try and an extra man and the blues still couldn't do it
One man down and the Maroons lifted as though they had 14 on the field.
Yep , we got pasted- even with the ref's help🤣🤦♂️
I'm a Queenslander who feels for Joey. He is so disappointed and shattered. He had so much praise for Mr. Toothache Cleary. Early in the week Joey said, "Cleary is about to tick off on the final frontier. The time is right for Nathan Cleary to experience a light bulb moment which will take his game to even scarier heights". Well, there were no light bulb moments from Nathan. Meanwhile, Luai called out Cobbo over ‘grub’ sledge. "If he’s genuine about me (being a grub) then he is going to have to do something about it next Wednesday,” Well, Cobbo did. He touched down, twice.
Loved it when cobbo bounced luai off for that second try
... and both of Cobbo's tries he breezed past Luai.
Joey basically picked this trash side full of Penrith players. Him and Freddy need to bugger off.
TEUILA- Yep, Luai's an empty-headed , over-paid dill...
All you white kf racost against islanders! Get fkd.
He was the one pushing for the panthers combinations. It just doesn't work in Origin.
Yep but he won't admit it. He'd rather divert to excuses
The panthers combination was they reason they were in the game at all. Rest of the team like teddy, ado, Murray and turbo were all hopeless. Freddy needs to go, slater wouldn’t have picked teddy or turbo based on their form.
The right backline of the fox, Turbo and Teddy was the issue, all attacking opportunities arose down the left side. QLD worked that out in 20 minutes. Not hard to defend half a side. Api, Yeo and Clearly couldn't play straight because the NSW forwards created no mometum and ascendancy. Liam Martin was the best onfield for NSW too. To'o Critta and Luai kept it respectable.
Yes exactly lol did you hear Andrew johns pushing for and Penref player spencer Liu we migh as well play the whole Penref seriously
@@bilalarya8392 they never went to the turbo, carr or Murry and no link with teddy they relied to much of n there Penrith play books with everyone else just there
why are ppl harping on the attack attack didnt cause us to concede 26 points we had the lead with 13vs12, we were defensively poor and the main culprit was teddy caught out of position on the first try let cobbo slide in on the 3rd try didnt lay a finger on hammer on the 4th try out jumped on the last try
As a coach , you pick the fittest players that can do the job and the players on top of their game. NSW relied on reputation, which did not pan out . As much as i admire the fox for his ability, coming back from a knee injury 1 month early is not the ingredient you need, Turbo , Tedesco , are so way out of sorts is comical, Graham , Hines , could have been the difference , the game lacked the speed and intensity of days and games gone by , full kudo's to QLD as they never gave up , NSW were poor in execution and never came out after half time and never deserved to win. To all the blues supporters that showed up at ADE Oval , thank you as you were more dedicated than the team that most spent thousands to see.
Changing room looks happy and chatty despite the loss!
Paid the same amount win or lose. Turn up and collect your cheque! 😂
@@multioptioned exactly and get paid well
*Billy picked players to fit his puzzle.* Fittler picked his friends and hyped players. I’m surprised Gutherson wasn’t in the side.
I wouldn't pick Gutherson, but he has more strings to his kit then the one dimensional Tedesco. I wish the experts would shut up about how good Tommy Turbo is, put him at NSW fullback or just shut up, He can't be as brilliant as they say and not be picked at number 1, they are either lying to themselves or making massive selection blunders, take your pick.
Coaching has got nothing to do with it, it's all about enthusiasm
i like the part where teddy passed the ball and nicho sat on the bench for 70 goddam minutes
What was the point in picking him if he was to used as a seat warmer. Should of picked another utility.
I like how Freddie saved him up to come off the bench to make a crucial missed tackle on Munster. A real game changer that Hynes.
What did he do when he came on? Missed tackle and dropped a line drop out both ultimately leading to 2 Queensland tries. No wonder he walked out of dressing room after the game. Not a great impression for selection.
@@multioptioned did he really walk out of dressing room?
What’s happened to Teddy? After the World Cup I feel like it’s been downhill for him
He’s just not a defensive fullback, can’t rely on him to save you
Agree he is attacking fullback but his defence has dropped off
@@theguardian308he also runs sideways and never passes
Never ever passes even with support players on either side of him.
The person yelling out "QUEENSLANDERRR!"😆 Joey be like💭Dude STFU!!😂😂
I thought we missed Angus Crighton on an edge! Big Game Player, bit underdone this season though! Or Liam Martin on the R Side (his preferred side) & Hudson Young done alright on the L side for a debut Game! We need to play to strengths, not just all Panthers style plays! We were missing an X Factor & love him or hate him, that is Trell Mitchell!🐰
Joey can argue that NSW players care about the jersey just as much as QLD do, but it's simply not true. You can look out on that field and see it visibly that the QLDers jersey means more to them than it does to NSW and its not even close. Even when QLD lose the series you can tell that jersey means more to them than anything, There actions on the field, body language and the heart QLD have and have had since 2006 onward in victory and defeat.
My bro goes beyond 2006 it was instilled in 1980 cuz with artie beetson
Maybe NSW didn't recognise their "traditional" sky blue jerseys? 😂 What Westpac wants Westpac gets!
He's talking personally not generally
When a prop forward out leaps an out of form full back you have problems.
Man I knew this game was all over when Fitler wasn't making any good interchanges.. and don't get me started on the 68 min hynes swap in. Nico in 6 jersey could be deadly with Cleary instead of Luai and his dumb decisions.
The most Panther-like thing out there was QLD's scrambling defence. With so many panthers in the NSW team, that's a sad testament to how poor NSW were.
Won't be banking with westpac
Joey's observation at 1:14 was spot on. Those NSW players he was referring to need a kick in the a...
If you can't beat a Qld side in Adelaide when they're a man down and both their wingers off the field how are you gonna beat the with a full team in Qld? Paulo, Murray, Teddy, Turbo, Fox, have all been out of form
ikr i like Latrell Mitchell but i doubt he can be the winning ingredient this year against the QLD side we just saw.
Paulo is to slow for Origin. Lateral movement non existent
Intensity and being up for the game - Billy knows how to get them ready to play. Freddy's weakness is perhaps his laid back approach (which is fine in the right context) but young minds can become complacent so you need the minders/assistants to be on top of that.
💯💯💯
Yeah Freddy needs to hang it up. He’s way too chill socializing after the game like they just lost a training game.
That's the comment you would expect from his mother what have Fittler or ever did or achieved coaching you get the results from what you hire to coach they are a betting delight
If you have rent or bills Qld are always a special especially with bigger odds, licence to steal
Bennett was even more chill then Freddy, so I don't think that's the problem. I just think Freddy isn't a great coach.
I wish Joey would stop talking about it and be about it. He should've been coaching the Blues for years now.
Tualangi Saved that game
oath he is a star!
He was my MOTM
The people in question were our best players out there, Critta, Luai, Api, Martin, the ones that let us down were the ones people wanted in the team, turbo, teddy, young, they were atrocious.
Turbo is clearly busted. You saw on the hammer's first try, he couldn't turn and chase.
He only mentions islanders.
If the NSW attack was consistently poor then its a coaching issue. Joey is part of the coaching staff and I'm waiting on him and Freddy to take the blame too
Most intelligent coment I've read today regarding the origin. Freddy and Joey are not up to the task, plain and simple! Billy has too much smarts for the likes of Freddy and Joey!
I think jarome should get six weeks for that high shot on Cotter
his swinging arm hit him in the chest. but he should get six weeks so freddy doesn't pick him
anyways, he cannot tackle to save his life
Luai calling Walsh weak for grabbing his hair after he stood over a knocked out Cobbo last series lol..
him and Moses are such crybabies, should play tag or touch
Can I ask how is Johns an immortal? 2000 Origin series Brett Kimmorley started all series at 7 while Joey was on the bench at 14? Never saw Lockyer, Smith or Thurston on the bench 😂😂😂
*QLD made so many mistakes and still won.* That game should’ve been 26-12. If QLD stopped losing the ball and played conservatively instead of taking risk on their own half it would’ve been a bigger win to QLD.
Doesnt joey work with the blues attack ?
not this year i think, definitely back in the day though
Fatty's face...he was bursting at the seams to rub some salt. Great control there Paul. 😂😂
This should’ve be the team for the blues, 1.Troboyvic (sea eagles) 2.militao (sharks winger) 3.Mitchell 4:Stephen Crichton 5. Campel graham 6. Nicho Hynes 7 Nathan Cleary 8. Payne has 9 Damien cook (my uncle) 10Junior Paulo 11. Isaah yeo 12. Liam Martin 13. Cameron Murray 14. Api Korisoau 15. Junior 16. Jack Wighton 17. Mat Burton That’s should’ve been game 1 team in my opinion
Dude number 2 mulitalo plays for sharks he can't play origin he got selected for Qld a couple of years ago but wasn't aloud because of eligibility rules he plays for nzl now
That NSW dressing shed looked like everyone was in good spirits. Smiles all round! If Qld lost that game they would be dejected for their team mates, families and the whole state. There's the difference right there.
Imagine having one of the best players in the league in Nicho Hynes and not playing him until you're starter gets injured.
Who missed the tackle on hammer? Fk up.
Again this is exactly whats wrong with modern day athletes. Tedesco smiling and having a good old chat in the sheds. Old days youd have a shed full of filthy athletes after letting there state down. Id be walking onto that team bus and making myself think on every little play i let the team down on. No smiles
You're depressing on your couch AT HOME😂😂
@ethan riice narh mate, just can see that all sports world wide pinnacle was between 2000s-2016. All games losing there passion and what made people fall in love with it due to these modern day princess athletes
@Max-pk6gh maybe you're just getting old and stuck in the past.. it's just game for entertainment. How do u know players in the past didn't go around laughing in locker rooms after? The locker room cam is new
@ethan riice you're on crack bud. You could ask anyone you know and everyone always brings it back to that era. Kobe, Andrew john's, Zidane plenty of others I could name from all different codes of sport, who had that 1%er in them. Always strive for perfection and never give up. Majority athletes nowadays just rely on talent.
@Max-pk6gh Kobe over rated because od his death, without shaq he wouldn't been another player.. John's was always drunk out of his guts or on drugs after every game, sounds like perfection.. Messi is 10 times the player Zidane was ever.. I understand, you're getting old so u just have a bias feeling to your golden days, acceptance is key grandpa
Absolutely No ticket NSW no other way to put it. NSW you believe your own hype and brandy is the worse selector,stop picking Panthers on Panthers!
Why Freddy still a coach?
I'm a QLD fan and I do buy into the heart stuff, but NSW were let down by their coach. No game plan other than hard and fast through the middle. The halves weren't creative, only one running try. Other than kick high and hope for an error, no plan to exploit the gaps in QLD defence. No targeting Gilberts missing edge except the try, then they went away form it and no plan for Hynes! That was always going to be a problem. Now for the heads to roll, Hudson young, TPJ, Hynes, Turbo, all on the chopping block.
Just saying.....That game plan by Fittler, or lack thereof, you would think that did not want to win that game. Give it to them up in QLD and win the decider in Sydney. Thats the game plan of the NRL. Too much money at stake = fiddling
Martin and Too did well. Idk what happened with everyone else
Ok I understand everyone’s views, but if Andrew Johns has the knowledge of origin and so much passion and the insight to analyse the NSW team on there mistakes ( failures ). Why doesn’t he coach the team and bring them up to his understanding of origin if he’s good enough! Others have tried.
drop Crichton for Latrell if he's fit. Drop Luai for Hynes in the 6. Bring in Cook at 14, rather than leave an outside back languishing on the bench for 99% of the game.
Freddy has salt and pepper hair. Love seeing him getting old. Absolute Champion.
NSW has the fastest player on one wing, and a bulldog on the other and they never got the ball. WTF is with that.
The coach and captain I see smiling after a loss isnt a good look . They should be filthy. They need a good rev up
They talk a lot about combinations. But how are the others combining with all the Panthers?
There should be a winning purse and a losing one every game instead of every player getting paid the same amount , Make em hungrier to want to win more
NSW treat these games like they are a club match game. QLD treat them like a grand final. There is no tomorrow, plain and simple
They (QLD) simply wanted it more! No excuses, it was an unacceptable loss. I agree with Andrew, XXXX could only be spat out! 🍺🤮
Love Teddy, but in the last 2 origins he's let in 3 tries and let a front rower out jump him. He's no Garry Jack.
I think putting Adam Reynolds in for NSW he would be gold, can see him winning games for NSW and it would be a great, not only does he play with half of Queenslands side he probably have a lill bit more insight and it would be a mental blow straight up for them he’s in best player in the competition form has been last two years , I’m sure he would slide back in awesome with half his old team in NSW.
Forwards did enough for NSW though i didn't see the aggression from them except maybe once or twice that you get in an origin game, Back line was woeful, Cleary was never in the game, Combinations had zero clue, ball kept go to ground instead of a players arms. First 2 tries to Queensland came from stupid penalty's that cost them, The game over all was boring. Not the origin i remember
A few issues to fix but its doable. Latrell will be back to monster the hammer. Bring back cook and use him and Api. Say goodbye to Teddy and turbo, bring in Dylan Edwards and Burton to test Reece Walsh out with high balls to create pressure. Nico in the halves with Cleary.
Time to cut the missing link and stop comparing him to sterlo or Joey or Alfie or JT. He’s a passenger. You’ll never convince me if Andrew johns or Alfie langer were facing Queensland and saw a middle defender on the edge a prop and a halfback in the centres and a man in the bin. Joey and Alfie put on 18-24 points in that 10minutes and you’re talking about 40-16 score line. That’s what genuinely halfbacks do.
Not in today's game, Alfie wouldn't last, joey could be decent
Lol, Alfie wouldn't last in an eras of nrl suited for fairies, the softest era of all time, Alfie would run rings around these jokers and John's would dominant.
@@Matt-vr5zk old man stuck in the past? Look at the size of the players today and the strength, Alfie walking around talking to their knees🤣
@@ethanriice8456 Alfie was as tough as they come, he would be a nightmare for defenders.
Did Hudson young even come back on in the second half?
No for some strange reason eh
As a Queenslander I see it clearly NSW Panthers combination in last two years come on NSW Blues selectors there must talent in club level give them a go
Dark blues need to stop trying to make it the Panthers vs QLD it hasn't worked. Martin To'o Crichton were good but the whole Luai Cleary thing hasn't worked the attack wasn't there. Walker has been in great form?
Where was the 'independent' doctor to call out Frizell off the ground for HIA?????!?!!!???? Bloke had a clear head knock and was taking a nap on the ground. Don't say the trainer cleared him. Look at his eyes darting over the place.
Maybe if he said positive things about his team, they might play better knowing they have the support of a so called immortal. Great game. Good luck at the cauldron. My brother in law built that ground when it was rebuilt. Been there many times. Whose for a sweep for Billy?
Time and a place I guess. Should you be saying positive things about a team that lost to another team with a man in the bin.
@@andyjcoop can you tell me for what. He didn't even contact the head in a strong tackle. Didn't really matter. The scoreboard is now history. A home game to secure the series and Freddy gone from the Blues.
Matty had a point huh Joey
Api try should of be a no try that was a clear knock on
Thank you Blues for putting up a good game. It is not over yet...
QLD have a 80% win rate at sun corp might as well just give ‘em the trophy now
😂 what on earth are you on about THE SERIES IS OVER! no chance at Suncorp NSW, even Gus Gould been saying that the last 2 weeks…Lose game 1 series is over NSW
Old boy if NSW had the heart of a QLDer you could say that the series isn’t over. They will be playing at the cauldron the graveyard of every Welshmen
I personally don’t like NSW being Pantherised. NSW will continue to loss if they let Panrith dominate selection. Cleary/Luai combination is just not working. Their attack was awful. They need to bring in cook, Latrell, let Cameron Murray play 13,
Joey surely needs to coach his state needs him
Sadly he's said many times he will never be a coach. I wouldn't mind his brother Matthew having a go. He's actually got a good footy head and is passionate for NSW.
Des Hasler
Before Origin, Joey said “.. Matty, we know how we’re going to play, we’ve known how we’re going to play for months”
Something ive noticed about this nsw side is the lack in emotion felt after a loss. I think the players are all far too caught up with their image as a public figure. Luai is a prime example. Sure, they're disappointed they lost.. but it just doesnt hurt in the way it hurts queenslanders. Its a generational mentality issue. Narcissism, to put it bluntly. More about I than team.
Queenslander ! ❤️ 💪
You know what I find interesting ? When you hear Brad Fittler talk about his side in the post game press conference an hour ago, he has changed his language from " us and we ) to ( them and they). Fittler has totally detached himself from his team. I was at the game last night and I truly believe NSW gave it their all and just made a couple of errors with forward passes. To add NSW was down Lattrell. I also am a language specialist and I know the impact of booing. When the Queensland side booed the try conversions and booed the NSW side and the NSW supporters joined in, come on really ? Booing has a detrimental impact on a teams' function and an individuals, so does lack of support from their coach.
Hey joey i lol in your face hahahqhahahqaqhqqq
Ezra man amazing give an inch and it’s over. fox is finished there is a new Sherif in town. HAMMER TIME.
Thankyou it's a footy TAB special those two coaches that team allowed me for second year to win a fortune please don't change anything Fittler unless you change the jerseys to LEMON
Fittler clearly has no idea how to inspire a team to give 110% until the 80th minute. Slater clearly does.
The nsw sheds is like they won the game smiles and giggles!!!! Poor attitude state means nothing to them all about the pay day where there is passion there’s victory that’s what Queensland’s all about!!! I’m on fire with the blues they let us down
Say the same thing every year about NSW Fitler, Gus, joey and Brandy should have nothing to do with the team. Bring in new blood that can pick the right team, get them motivated, and have a game plan.
Should have got nicko on alot earlier in the game not enough game time
Should you be able to PALM people off... with just a gesture... and a victory yell Multiple defenders with multiple arms will...strip you of the BALL...?!?
We need ya Joey
What does Matt think about this?
After 2018 and 2019 SOO, Freddy seems to think its all going to be an easy ride and started to experiment on his teams. It doesn't look good at all...The team looks good but doesn't look as balanced as the Maroons team. Murray and Junior Paulo should have started with Young and TPJ coming off the bench. Blues started poor with two easy tries but after Paulo, Murray and Martin came on the defense and attack looked a bit better. At the end when Freddy rotated again, well, we know what happened. Someone should be telling Freddy by now that his job is on the line and should be let go if the series is over in the next couple of weeks. His team selection have been questionable since 2020...every selection he has made are just not working.
1. Latrell 2. Fox 3. Crighton 4. Turbo 5. Biza 6. Burton 7. Niko 8. Haas 9. Cook 10. Paulo 11. Martin 12. Murray 13. Yeo 14. Api 15. Young 16. TPJ 17. Jurbo
NSW fan here. Queensland were better and deserved to win, simple as that. However disagree with Joey, Turbo and Addo Carr are not 100% fit and it showed. Nathan Cleary probably unfit as well and his game is too predictable. Also Teddy was found out in defence and lacking penetration in attack. I have an issue with Fittler bringing on Hynes too late and not using HudsonYoung after his 1st half stint. Predict Queensland will win at Suncorp and retain the shield.
Good to see Teddy was happy after that performance. Id have been distraught.
Your brother is right Joey , NSW got no HEART
Tedesco should be left out of the next game at Suncorp. He let 2 tries in, by jumper grabbing, for Qld, and was out jumped by a forward that led to another Qld try. He had absolutely NO pride in the No 1 Blues jersey !!!
Cleary out of game 2 and 3. Fittler forced into making changes. Who does he pick as half back and five eighth now? 🤔
