As I mentioned in another post - Taylor played better Origin when he had all the pressure of form and selection on him (when Tallas was talking him up and others were questioning his fitness). That urgency seems to have disappeared some what now and his performance is flying under the radar as...

That try was very soft - usual QLD defence would have him almost over the sideline. Snake dug deep for it but, you could see how bad he wanted it, we just didn't have the same to match in defence.

First thing I wrote was congrats to NSW and their effort etc (at the start of the Post Game thread) - no one has overlooked it. Can forgive Cronk for the hold back at the time, he wasn't to know the future. QLD have held so many times with 1 man in the bin (in hind sight was a big mistake...

Completely agree on Slater - how much more QLD can you get? He has an injury which usually puts players out for 3-4 weeks and defused VERY difficult bombs with players in his face time and time again. Without Slater's effort, could have been 20+ to 12. Damn legend. Plus he was so close to...

Yeah - felt wrong when I read that word in the article too and when I read it, it was spelt wrong (maybe an omen that it shouldn't have really been there? "controversail" - probably fixed it now). I know Barba has a lot of flare, but we have seen Taylor and Gillette (recently) come into...

Quite a few injured in last nights clash, but none more so than Parker and Slater. Slater is still remaining optimistic about being there for game 3 (hope he is), but the history of the injury would suggest otherwise. Parker is just about a certainty to miss and they now have serious concerns...

Taylor played his best Origin when he was under a lot of pressure to prove his fitness and prove his ability (if any remember in preceding years). I think he will get his wake up call off field from the coaching staff and have a big game off the bench in game 3. Let's face it, we have just...

Yeah - can't drop Parker. As someone else said, keeping Gillette but dropping Parker would be a joke. Gillette will be a great origin player but not quite yet (yes he needs experience but maybe not in a decider). Have to stay loyal to Petro, things will be different next year anyway and he...

Congrats NSW - they deserved the win. Cronk decision definitely didn't pay off, but can't blame him. Lots of good defence online by NSW and we blew our chances - they shut our plays down pretty well (when the plays came together that is, we shut quite a few down ourselves). Don't...

I agree completely - which is why I pointed out that if it were $3 million as they said, the players are only getting a fraction of that (and don't forget this is only the money put forward by the NSWRL, not the money/revenue generated by the whole game). So I was curious how the 'rest' could...

Thanks for the congrats Rock, but you replied to it with quite a lot to say so musn't have been that 'pointless'. I was just questioning whether the money is well spent etc (which you gave your opinion on). Would be good if more of that actually went to the players though as they are the...

Not sure how much is 'usually' spent but caught my eye when reading the article (not sure if this includes player fees of $20K each - but even if it did that would only account for $340K for 17 players - leaving $2.6+ million for...?) "It's estimated $3 million has been spent by the NSWRL in...

Now it makes sense ... should have written that in the first place..

This makes absolutely no sense dukey.. Having passion and being upset over the first game are not related enough for you to offer a statement like "Are we shit for not caring, or are we shit for caring too much?" - and to take it one step further, being good or not has nothing to do with...

Yeah, well said Brizz. I know they have to ramp up (from a promotional perspective), but why not try to keep a low profile for a change - might make QLD at least start thinking a bit more. It is about passion and that 'thing' QLD has, Ricky has just run out of ideas and is trying to replicate...

Well you know, they doubled up on that article with this one - birds of a feather... http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/nsw-state-of-origin-greats-agree-with-coach-ricky-stuart-that-queensland-are-arrogant/story-e6frexv9-1226390681885 I liked Dave Brown's comment though: "To be...

Re: NSW sink to new whinging level record - SMH article 10th of June- Hate Queenslan Dead set - this has been going on for years (things missed in origins), but this is the first time NSW have found themselves on the other side of 'so many' controversial decisions (as they say). Ricky is just...

Re: NSW sink to new whinging level record - SMH article 10th of June- Hate Queenslan lol.. awesome replies :)

Re: NSW sink to new whinging level record - SMH article 10th of June- Hate Queenslan Mate, everyone has morals and limits - just surprised (or not surprised I guess) that someone could stoop that low. But obviously you have now proven to me that possibly other NSW supporters are also capable...

Well, I feel that one Malcolm Knox has seriously gone over the top now... at times I read some of the rubbish that comes out from south of the border, and while a lot of it is the standard whinging we've grown accustomed to, I feel this guy has pretty much lowered it to a new level I didn't...
