2 cents:
- No Hodges/Folau... really making a diff... more than I thought anyway. Not having both really made us look like a diff team.
- gunshy ... thought JT in particular was quiet... Locky was OK but could have done more
- 'tackling our way to victory' tactic... not sure if this is the way...

Agreed - as a high schooler I always wondered why Locky didn't get the wraps from the Sydney media - thought I was watching a different game. They used to toot Joey's horn pretty hard.
Then they moved on to JT and so on. Post premiership though they've started wrapping him. At the end of the...
Fair enough - well the success of the Dragons has definitely brought a bit back - maybe it was cause I was a high school at the time, but the Dogs/Roosters in 02 had real big hype back then. The Dogs/Eels definitely created some hype. I guess what I'm trying to say is when those teams do well...
Looooong way to go but definitely needs more time in the NRL. I'd like to see him play as much as he can this sem if we are going to use him next year at 6.
Furthermore - few years ago when we had BIG matches such as Dogs vs Roosters sort of thing, the atmosphere was electric and what not. Ever since those teams went shite and it was basically the Storm for about 3-4 years... league sorta died. I have to say, the success of the Roosters/Dogs...
Re: Queenslander's passion for sport
Well like I said, I think the culture is different - generally in Sydney, a bunch of 20 yr olds will rather do something else on a Fri night then go to the footy is what I'm saying. Saturday night even less I'd say. Hence they are probably losing...
That's the problem. When Lockyer is not there, he can't take the game by the neck. So this means what? We need to buy or we going to Use C Norman next year? For real?
What happened to that gun FB for the dogs? Silva? I was a kid at the time, but Barba sort of reminds me of him? He was a gun player wasn't he? Lightning fullback. What happened to hiM?!
Why is Creagh so shit for NSW but awesome for St George? It doesn't make sense!
Also - I STILL think the non-selection of Hayne was a no-go. I mean... Does anyone SERIOUSLY think Hayne is not part of NSW's future? OBVIOSULY he is - ummm... why would you take away a series, let alone a game away...
Re: Queenslander's passion for sport
Don't know what it is like in QLD but a significant reason why Sydney has less crowds and that is the 'social' factor. It's true what Rock said - Sydney people do like to do other shite on the weekend than go to "every" game they can go to... Families might...
Hmmmm... man with Folau/Hodges/GI/Tonga all goneskii... backline just doesn't flash at all. I guess you have to go Boyd Tuquiri but is he even available? If not then is Zillman really the only option? (Ash Graham please - Origin? deadset ... )
