Message: [QUOTE="Wolfie, post: 3517206, member: 8770"] He does play at a high level week in week out, but thats club football. Origin just isnt club football. I think you always notice him. My main critique i guess is i look at big game players in Origin and they have the big origin moments. Even if they dont play particularly well. Look at Collins. Missed a fifth of his tackles ( 5 out of 25, incidentally, the same as Munster who did a fair bit as well despite playing ordinary to win us the game ), didnt make huge meters but kept competing and going right until the end and his play basically sealed the win. Thats an Origin play. I dont see that from the grubs down south. For me, this isnt a thing levelled simply at Haas. He did his job. Its something i levelled at them as a pack and as a team. They are good enough, they play well enough but as a team i think they lack the players who give you those big Origin moments regularly. I just dont see if NSW go down to 12 men and behind on the scoreboard them doing what we did. I certainly dont see one of their props coming up with the play Collins did. Until they understand playing like a club side wont win you Origins under adversity, they will keep coming up short against weaker Queensland sides. [/QUOTE]
