[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 3632183, member: 9256"] I watched the game this morning again. Saw a few things that atood out and a few things are different then what I originally thought. Holmes had some great carries when we needed them. Played better on replay then I thought. Thought he was horrible originally. He still has the bad errors. S Chricton really helped that edge once he moved over there. Just a great defender. Shut down a number of things. Especially covering Hynes the liability. Luai was the only spark they had. Hynes and Tedesco were awful. Hynes kicking game was horrible. He had the wheels turning every time he had to make a decision. Alot of the time it ended up with a nothing run himself. Why he ran 128m. Tedesco just gets involved too much. He has fallen off a cliff as a creator. Leniu was great for his role. He looked pissed when they took him off for that last barnstorming run. He had only just come on in the previous set too from the "HIA". Not sure why they didn't keep him on for the next 10mins atleast. Was one of the only forwards bending the line. Felt like Madge having too many forward options and trying to get mins for all of them. Bad interchange use. Haumole came on and went mental for 3 tackles in a row and was spent for the rest of his stint. Looked like he was playing in the middle. A nothing selection. Trbojevic. 29mins. What is the point. Was a token last 4mins too at the end of the game. He had 2 runs in a set in qlds half where he fell to his knees trying to get a quick play the ball and they were rightly called surrender by Klein and QLD got to reset their D line. Offers nothing unless he plays 60. Yeo is struggling to find his way in origin. I thought he was ok just his ballplaying isnt as effective at this level. Maybe because the synergy isnt there with all the other components of the shape. Still think his leg speed in the middle was good. Lomax was very good for a debut. Fotuaika and Hopgood really offered something in their mins. Collins and Cotter second stint was excellent. Grant was awful. Just had looked a bit off the last year imo. Workload might be getting to him. Looks fatigued alot. Hunt was great as usual. DCE came up with every big play. Dearden was solid. The timing was off sometimes with that edge especially when Walsh went off. Got better towards the end. Cobbo was awesome with the ball. He might not want to watch that Liam Martin run though. He looked like the backrower on that play. Sometimes he looks lime he is in cement defensively. Got better as the night went on though. I thought QLD could have played alot better tbh. Like people have said its hard to take much from the game. The mindset and intensity completely changes when you know its 13 on 12. NSW were.desperate and QLD were just going through the motions and that was always going to be good enough with a man advantage. Cameron Smith I thought nailed it in the post game. They looked like they went into their shell with the ball and Billy will mention that. The errors werent exactly from them trying to create chances. Was just simple drop balls. [/QUOTE]
