This was a bumbling mistake ridden performance,. Milford showed some spark tonight , but really we are sub standard from dummy half to six. We will probably win our fair share of games this year but I just can't see us troubling the top teams too much. We need an overhaul. What is it with...
Ok . Overall not good , not that bad. But one thing is really bugging me is the number of bad passes that Milford throws. The passes need to be crisp and in front of the receiver. His passes are often slow and wobbly and just not on target. He has had four years to get this right and I have...
Bennett is gone and surely that is the best thing for everyone concerned. The unfortunate thing is that Seibold inherits Bennett's somewhat clunky playing roster which still does not include a proven consistent game manager.
We need to limit the damage by Tadesco and Cook . Granville or DCE in to share the dmmy haldf duties with McCullough . Millford out. Thats it. We were not that far off the pace last night so the rest of the boys deserve another shot.
I had the same thoughts as Wally last year. It might be worth a try. But I can see the logic of a previous blogger who said that the days of the big fullback busts might be over due to the improved quality of the kick chase. He could very well struggle to have much impact at fullback as well...
No one seemed to be playing with any real vision tonight. By that I mean someone continuously planning and scheming on how to sore a try or even break the line.
Some terrible passing tonight especially from Milford and Thiaday. At this level there is just no excuse for that.
We will improve...
Something seems to have clicked in attack over the last few weeks. The halves are just playing with confidence and the fowards are really muscling up . The signs were there in that hard fought loss to Parra.
We are starting to look slick and dngerous. Miilford seems to have regained his...
The only downside of taking the top job in Rugby is that you would actually have to not only watch the the games , but also have to be seen to enjoy doing it. Would that even be possible for someone who has been closely associated our great game?
Hate to lose but I was not disappointed with that effort . Two slick tries in the first half. . Moga continues to improve IMO. The eels did get away with too much in the ruck and the refs were certainly ready to penalize us at even the slightest hint of a hold down. Beside all that the Eels...
Have not seen the replay yet , but watched it live from the rafters and it seem to me that Qld hardly gave them a sniff. It was a relatively stress free origin for us and that's how I like it. Score line could easily have been much more. We did not have a poor performer , but a few obvious...
Hunt might not get that much game time. I am thinking Munster will mostly play 5/8 and Morgan in the centers.
Both those guys as well as Cam Smith can play 80 minutes . It would be very unusual to change halves during the game. And why would you want to move Cam Smith from dummy half...
Hunt certainly has the potential to do the job. And having playmakers like Smith and Cronk will take a lot of pressure off him to concentrate on his running game.
It all could work out for the best , but still feel sorry for DCE. A big disappointment for him .
I think it must have come down...
Hunt would probably make a great contribution off the bench, but. DCE surely deserves the spot more on form and physical condition, with Hunt only two games back from injury. And how does the Courier Mail know unless someone in the inner circle is leaking.
It wasn't an audition for origin , more like a contested training run for the big three and their Qld storm associates.
A convincing hit out for what is the core of the Qld team.
At least we can take Thaiday and Hunt out of the mix for SOO 111 after last nights Storm game.
I think Munster can play anywhere , and get the job done.
DCE woulld probably give us the best passing game at 6.
Morgan is cool under pressure and great to have in there when the game is on the...
Well hopefully that will put to bed any talk of bringing back Thaiday for the third SOO. He must be getting close to being dropped.
Hunt should also be out of origin contention on that performance. But he did show us enough to give us hope of better games to come
I want Muster in our...
Would be a real bonus if we could some how pull this one off. I love beating the Storm,but they have so many excellent players all in great form it's hard to see us beating them right now.
Adam Blair will no doubt be a key for our chances.
Really looking forward to the contest between Hunt...
TBH I thought DCE was not in contention , but seeing his highlights package from this year ,the guy in in best ever form. Mal and Hodgo vote for for him,which may actually carry some weight with Kevie. It does with me.
If DCE is the future for Qld ,then there is no better time then now...
Surel
Surely Milf should still be in his prime and stir posses all his speed. it seems to me that at 5/8 , more of his runs have to involve jinking and stepping back in , rather then exsplosive gap running as he did at Canberra. I could imagine Benji sending Milford through gaps to...
