Message: [QUOTE="Anonymous person, post: 2434015, member: 2115"] You all say "no unforced changes, they're unnecessary ", but dropping players who are badly underperforming and/or shouldnthav been there in the first place ARE necessary. Before game 1 I didn't want civoniceva there as his form has been shocking. Before game 1 I didn't want gillett there because his form didn't warrant it, and he is still yet to prove he can handle a big NRL game let alone an origin. After game 2 my opinion hasn't changed. As always on BHQ, you all seem to think that because we won game 1 it means every player deserved and justified there spot. It doesn't. Civoniceva was terrible in game 1 and almost as bad in game 2. Who cares if he makes 15m in a hit up if he then takes 15 seconds to get off the ground and play the ball? It puts us on the back foot, and against a defensive outfit as fantastic as this nsw team has been, that is an absolute killer. We saw it in game 1 and the first half of game 2 - we would constantly only make 30-35m per set, as nsw had their line set and raring to go every tackle cause we were too damn slow. Civoniceva was the worst at it by a mile. Gillett has just gone AWOL in both games. Seriously, I can't remember him even making a decent tackle or hit up. Like Taylor, he clearly has problems stepping up to the origin arena. For our best chance of winning we should bring in McGuire and barba. When our backs went down in game 2 we had no one to replace them. I was shitting myself thinking "Gillett is going to go to centre now....." because then its a 30 point ball game to nsw. Just remembers there were a few more less than 50-50 calls that went NSWs way - Tate getting tackled, then hayne or someone giving a second effort to almost put him over the sideline. It doesn't matter that he didn't go over, it's still a penalty every day of the week. Then there was the time the nsw ball carrier, Pearce I believe, dropped the ball cold in a tackle and it was simply overlooked. Every QLDer within a few metres saw it and was screaming at the refs about it. There was also the high shot on hedges where he looked like he was fonna milk it, but the refs just told him to play on. Again, it's a penalty every day of the week in the nrl. Not last night though, not on NSWs designated win night. [/QUOTE]
