Please tell me you at least support ditching pappali...

Agreed. It wasn't just that one try he bombed. And he's shown before he chokes in games (drop balls etc and maybe the same reason why Taylor hasn't played origin again?) Besides the necessary changes through injury, I don't think 3 changes is a huge amount. Rare for qld but nothing on nsw

It's just sad that this happened at origin level, so it's a great excuse for nsw to say that we're just whinging and blah blah blah. Would be interesting to see the reaction had it happened in a club game. Oh wait it has and they've all forgotten

Definitely agree re the ref. As usual, nsw fail to understand that 1. They WON 2. This doesn't mean they've got the series (refer to 1995 for proof when qld fans wanted refunds on their tickets when half the qld team were injured and a handful of rookies were brought in) and 3. The ref made...

I was in the front row too and I agree. But I saw that drop ball from Gillet though and it was pretty bad. I know he defended well in the last half but could you honestly risk him in a decider? If qld had won he could be forgiven to a greater extent, had he still made those errors but if...

What happens if Slater is out? He could bow out like he did last year despite Meninga potentially rushing the injury to get him in Surely Inglis to FB and Milford to the bench

How bad is it that Guerra and Te'o were on the field for 2 minutes less than Papalii yet they made 3 times the metres... Numbers don't lie. I just don't get why Meninga would bring him in when he admitted he wasn't in form. Surely if they're on the fence about the player, they shouldn't take the...

Gees Smith needs to up his game though, whatever position he plays

Does anyone know how bad this hip injury is for DCE?

Would be great if Slater was fit to play, but surely he can't be. I don't know the latest but he was initially told 2-3 weeks, QLD would be complacent to throw him in with no games beforehand

I bloody hope so! My only worry is with GI to fullback, are the centres weakened? Especially with Hodges, or would the achilles problem he's carrying and the quiet game he played on wednesday be irrelevant if Chambers can do the job?

I know I need get over it but I just read a comment (nsw supporter) saying that if qld fans compare the Reynolds tackle to Alex Mckinnon, we should be ashamed. Are they dumber than I ever thought? Thank god I've read one or two nsw supporters saying that it means **** all what state you're...

Here's to hoping that this farce about Reynolds, QLD playing poorly, and the fact that the next game is Sydney will be enough fuel for the fire. And surely out of a pack of 17 players, one of them will be charged and subsequently let off between now and the 18th, and there's more boiling blood...

Is that Mal telling them not to (likely), they're just pansies (laughable) or they know they're going to punished more severely than the typical Gallen tackle would (just as likely as the first) Would love to know which it is

Even better, Reynolds and Hayne

How pathetic if that's true. If he had a shred of decency, he'd be one of the best players in history- he tackled someone on Wednesday (can't remember who) and it was a beauty. Why add the grubbiness?

I couldn't watch 5 minutes of the Sterlo show last night. Being Sterling and the most objective of the NSW commentators, I got sick listening to Johns carrying on about how terrible the refs were towards Queensland towards the end there. Funny how the fans seem to think they've already won the...

I hope that when push comes to shove, these injuries (Slater, possibly DCE and Myles), and clearly out of form players that shouldn't have been picked to start with (Pappalli, McQueen) that these selectors will have the guts to make the big changes. Des Morris said this morning that as part of...

This. Lol

What I want to see is a prop with some agro brought in. Based on the constant grubby tackles all night, one can only assume qld are also free to tackle like that (except for Corey Parker who apparently isn't allowed to push someone down)
