💜 to Billy and his family on the passing of his brother in law
Billy has such a wonderful understanding of the game, & when you hear his analysis or explanation it gives you the opportunity to view instances on the field through his eyes. Young players coming into the Qld side would be salivating at the thought of learning from him.
Nsw will still find a way to lose origin
nah they’ll win
If they lose they should quit. But with how Prince is playing and Qld injuries it should be a walk over.
Scott Prince is retired mate @@icmull
I agree and I'm a NSW supporter!🥴😅
Just field the whole Penrith Panthers in blues jumpers 😂
What he was saying about Cleary is how I look at Thurston. Both werent blessed with gifts but their hard work and determination always got them over the line. Both are good to watch.🤙
Underrated comment 🤌🏿
Ask Val Holmes about getting suspended last year for a wrapping tackle around the chest and the chin whiplashed onto his shoulder
I totally agree with billy on Reece and mays head clash like that is word for word what I would have said and I honestly am so depressed about the broncos situation because I'm a die heart broncos fan and my sister and I have a crush on him (lol) so when Reece got hit we were both acting like he had died and I was just saying over and over again how we r doomed even tho we aren't and than me and my dad are also bid soccer fans and the socceroos were playing authentic same time so when he got hit and then we started losing I just kept saying can we watch the socceroos now but to be honest I was just sad about Reece and the depressing grand final, memories were coming back but I believe that we will be able to pull through again this year but this time Nathan won't be doing anything similar to last year
question?why isnt a time set for goal kicking like goal drop out.trying to speed up game and you have this plot in the game.
With a coach like Billy and the football brain he has, I can’t see NSW winning one State of Origin game! BTW I’m a dyed in the wool NSW supporter.
Whats a double movement? Mitch Kenny's try, was it a double movement? The ball and his arm carrying the ball both were planted on the ground. He lifted his torso and stretched out to plant the ball. If his body moved forward after he came into contact with ground, he would not have needed to lift his torso to ground the ball.
I think its when you stretch your arm out from your body. I thought he kept the ball up. it did look a bit sus but I've seen worse awarded.
Duty and care to win
Billy, have you noticed Javier Savage from Canberra Raiders? Dont leave him out for 2024 queensland team.

Dearden not needed, Hunt half cover.
Billy said the problem at the end of last year was Sam Burgess. Yet in their determination to be fair - and to be seen to be fair, they have allowed a Burgess to play out his contract at Souths. Watch him. And watch the players he seeks to influence.
He's the goat of fullbacks
looked intentional imo just like Billy said he had his arms down & didn’t go for a wrap tackle, could’ve speared him easy.
Saw Billy unfairly being penalized for shoulder charge. Why has he become a YES man.
Think Billy wants to see Tedesco named for Origin yet again this year? If he keeps this up he'll keep his spot at fullback
Back half of last year & this year, Cody Walker is constantly frustrated & having dummy spits. I think he needs a few weeks in NSW Cup Kikau's effort was way above Tedesco
Fat Knt playing fullback who does nothing at all should be first bloke to go to cup. Cody is frustrated because he’s got no help.
PONGA FULLBACK BRING FIFITA IN FOR TINO AND AS FOR OTHERS THEYLL BE FINE
If I was a coach and the club paid a player 1.2million a year I would do everything to stop them playing origin. Why they play this mid year when the clubs are starting pivot for position. It’s insane NFL don’t have it? Why does league it ain’t the best v best either that’s long gone,
slowing down the game .stop the clock when try is scored and checking with video ref.
IF MUNSTER IS OUT DEARDEN IN
and nsw will still somehow lose

i just feel that Billy is being held hostage in that white-walled room and being forced to do this podcast.... Free Billy guys!!! ...
ho hum
Ponga not a bad Plan B.
Panthers won GF in 23 because Bronco's played Crap at the End, ?
reece wont be the same again, nsw 3-0. watch the structure maguire puts into the team. He coached the Kiwis to 12 wins from 18 games for a win percentage of 66.7 from 2018 to 2023.
The more i listen to billy slatter talk about reece walsh the more i think they are sharing a bed
