Also wtf with strict split halves. Munster can’t be left to control a side he a running (prancing) 5/8. We bought DCE to control - let him control and roam both sides!

Munster is a myth
Runs the ball and looks dangerous but just doesn’t have that playmaking ability in him
Centre or fullback is his likely destination in the future

He's always been a centre IMO.

That was McGuire's fault from what I saw. Came in on Cook and left a massive gap for Tedesco.

Yeah that is true, but as seen earlier this game and many other games this year Cook's acceleration off the mark is dangerous and McGuire made that decision to come in.

I still think this shows Kevvies weakness as a coach. He should never allowed Queensland to be put in a position where we lose Smith, Cronk and Thurston in one hit.

How was that his fault?

Gagai needs to swap sides with Chambers.
Gagai is right hand carrier, he flicks it with his right hand.
He has never played on the left.

Got picked because of his Melbourne combination, which doesn't exist anymore.

No way in the world is Munster a better 5/8 than Milford. Milford is a class above in that role, Munster is a runner of the ball with an okay-ish kicking game, that's it.

For the Broncos sake I hope Milford is continually ignored.

Absolute rubbish. Munster is a centre not a 5/8. Wallace is 3 time proven plodder at origin. Our second row is pathetic in attack but biggest problem is how trying to overuse them. And McGuire is trying to do it all but can’t. Tell him to settle the f*** down and concentrate on being a prop. Tell Gagai to pass the f***ing ball. Hunt looks like he’s p***ed off and going through the motions. Disgraceful from those mentioned.
Perfect summary....

Yeah, I rate Munster highly, but maybe centre is the position for him at this level. He's definitely a gun though, and I'm sure having a dinosaur like Cooper and a hog like Gagai is making him look a lot worse than he is.

Imagine milford had the luxury of debuting with his entire club spine and cameron smith decided to turn up for his game...

Was he supposed to travel back in time to make them be born in different years or force one of them into retirement earlier?

The best thing to happen will be cherry evans making a break and passing it to Oates to score the winning try.

And that's the end of the story really. If Smith actually had some balls and played this last series, we would be playing a decider at the very least. Instead he bails because he doesn't want his ego tarnished by a loss in his final year.

Say what you want about Slater and Inglis, but they actually turned up.

How was that his fault?

He is the coach, he should be talking with these blokes and developing a succession plan. To a point he has no control, but surely he should have had the conversation with the senior members of the group about what's best for Queensland going forward. I'm sure all would have agreed at least one of them needed to be around for this series. With Cronk or Smith still here, we would probably be on the verge of another series win. This NSW side despite having some good players, really arent as great as the Channel nine crew would have us believe
