Why dumb? We have lost a ton of spine experience and Slater is likely greatest fullback (outside of Lockyer debate) QLD ever had. He’s also playing better than most guys we’ve picked. Smith looks a bit subpar but no one suggesting wouldnt have had him in a heartbeat. Transitions are ideally...

It’s about mindset. He isn’t bad in the middle of the field, I think he is very good. But he needs to be told he is a prop and that is it. Can offload that’s fine but he doesn’t have the ability or judgement to be a linkman style of forward or have his hands anywhere near the ball after...

Can’t see how Kevvie or any sane person could see a way to put points on with the chosen spine barring individual brilliance and luck. Always hard slog losing for legends but NSW blooded 2/3 of a team FFS so no excuses. 1. Slater (Munster if required) 2. Oates 3. Inglis 4. Munster (Chambers on...

Rewatch if you are a masochist. His defence was shocking. Positioning, grab tackles, hesitation. Afraid of being burned on outside I think. He didn’t pass on a break, he dropped a sitter at a key opportunity, crazy panic 3rd tackle kick, didn’t protect his winger well (NSW were blocking like...

And 20000 were in the rear bars at any one time by the look of the stadium but didn’t look too bad.

Don’t think we watched the same game. He was solid and workman like in defence as expected but didn’t lead the centre defence cause for me only reason to pick him. Attack was non existent as expected, what running, service was very slow, patterns were predictable and organisation was left to...

I thought he was worse... Always thought chambers was just a bit overrated. Good player but has some real downsides. Can have some moves but generally a bit Hoggman like in attack and can be exposed in defence on an off day.

Simply beaten by the better team. You can’t make that many missed tackles and expect to win. Out coached, out selected and simply completed. Queensland looked like broncos team of this year except they muscled well in defence. Middle defence was killer. Fittler was smart enough to fake...

Good on him but hope he doesn’t play 80. Only way to let him succeed is to give him firm instructions that we need an attacking hooker which he is capable of with good coaching and when he’s not trying to tackle half the grandstand for 80 minutes straight especially since he is also carrying an...

Send Bird to the Knights or he could fit well under salary sombrero at Roosters. If Bird could get in shape with a real halfback, Milf at fullback and the right attitude then he would be a well suited 5/8 with Boyd’s salary covering his buy. Could be solid in defence, good ball running 5/8...

Worst part would be impact on love life wouldn’t it?

Yeah the term star in Origin Star is yet to be determined except for 4th take McGuire and forgot how to offload Gillo... Wait till at least Wednesday, preferably end of series.

Not an original thought I am afraid been said since he signed. For me term would be frivolous rather than luxury. Honestly where was he going to play? Lock is only logical position I could see but could have had arrow at half the price. If Wayne was going to suddenly play expansive football...

Hagan wasn’t it? Hagan also played most of Mals games in a menigina suit...

Again madness. Ponga on the wing if Gagai out. Let’s throw a debutant with barely any Nrl into a position he doesn’t know after playing a game on the weekend when if required we have a great wing choice in Oates fresh. Did a great job last wing. Madness he wasn’t in camp in first place both...

Problem with GI at fullback is will his legs handle it? Best option if could (maybe switch with Holmes a little for a break). Milf if he played at fullback in last 3 years would be fantastic, doubt has the fitness now but an extra ball player type would be very useful. Ponga played Saturday...

Its not an everyday salaried job. Bennett is in an elite position. CEOs and sort get moved on all the time for succession planning, performance, culture or whatever. Be hard pressed to go down age discrimination because he was hired after 65 suggesting age wasn’t issue then, we want to pick a...

I agree painful injury. But if truly that bad why was he playing? Had a few injuries but not going to win games playing guys that are out of shape, out of form and injured. And as stated sternum injury wouldn’t stop an exercise bike or a lot of lower body work. At 700 a year there isn’t a...

Don’t really understand why a storm are digging in so hard about 3 years or not at all. I appreciate not ideal to have a coach with a a job elsewhere next year but happens all the time with players. Keeping Bellamy for 2019 gives them a year to succession plan and transition for a team who...

1 year with fairytale dust helping. He’s had injuries which is mitigating but still hasn’t been the same. Biggest issue is drifting in and out of games. Don’t see that happening with Bellamy.
