AWTA. I know Newcastle at home on a Sunday, they are tough to beat, but they had guys like Gidley and McManus out and the Bulldogs team were in form.

Yeah and Bulldogs were only without Hannant.

Look mate, the conditions were appalling, and we had Robson at half back. Also, our best game plan of the past few weeks, namely "throw it to Jaryd FFS", wasn't availabel to us.
Fair to say Mortimer eased his way into his debut also, but seriously, Robson is gash. What about young Kelly in the NYC? Couldn't be any worse than Robson surely?

Kelly is an interesting one, word is once Kelly has officially signed to go to melbourne for 2010 then Parramatta will select him. Cause he is outside the 25 his match payments for this season would be part of next years cap and if he goes to Melbourne then they have to pick up the tab. If he decideds to re-sign with the Eels then I dont think we will see him in 09.

Nah.
First time in ages I've heard Qld so vocal on the NSW side which has been picked. It's not often they'll come out and openly comment on new players and their weakneeses or nervousness. I'm a little surprised management have let them be so open, as it often comes back and bites teams on the arse when they say things like that.
It tells me either Qld are enormously confident, bordering on the complacent, or there is something about this particular combination from down South which they think poses more of a threat. I'm not sure which it is.
Anyway, from my POV, NSW are stronger now with Lewis and Laffranchi in than they were with Stewart and Gallen. And there's some real pace out wide. Should be a good game.

Great, send another good half back to a club already shedloads stronger than us.
Meanwhile, Nathan Cayless continues on his merry $400K per year way, making 12 hit ups for 64 metres gained per match.

Conditions helped them a lot against the Broncos, who have yet to show great ability in the wet.
Re: Origin, NSW's side is very good, and it should be a good contest. I think the QLD players are obliged to make comments even if they don't want to, to promote the game in Melbourne.
