Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2498277, member: 1899"] Not a whole lot to be said about the second half. Maroons were a tad better but weren't good enough while NSW kept mucking up before they could get to their 5th tackle so they didn't give themselves much of an opportunity to score points. Couple of points I was mindful of when watching. Refs. - That was a soft penalty against Smith for offside. Klein took us 12m back from the Blues play the ball and he never called Smith off - just Corey but because Choc makes a mistake it's NSW ball. The Hayne penalty wasn't much better, that's a milk everyday of the week. I can live with the Ferguson penalty though - GI dragged both his feet towards him at marker. Dumb penalty from GI who really looked to step up defensively. In saying, I don't think the refs. were that bad. Obviously they blew a few home town penalties but that's just part the parcel really. Gillett - Admittedly, I was too harsh on the offload. :laugh: I must have gotten it confused with Slater's and Hodges' earlier one and while it still wasn't a great play it had little bearing on the game as Queensland received a six again not long after. He was solid with little game time - made a couple good runs in attack and made a nice tackle on Fifita coming over. The tackle on Gallen was also good, but I'd just call it a good tackle as opposed to a good hit - it wasn't as good as GI on Fifita - it was more like a Te'o on Watmough shot for me. If I was going by the CM scale, I'd shift his score up to a 6.5. I thought we looked at our best when we strung some passes together. In fairness, we didn't have much of an opportunity, but we still should have chanced our arm more than we did. Cronk was the worst offender of this - way too many 'sacks'. Felt like I was watching Wallace out there. [/QUOTE]
