Haha, agree wholeheartedly Burgey. Was shocked no one stepped in front of Inglis when he scored the first try (apart from a guy who weighs 100kgs less), and the effort on Folau for his try was dismal. Not sure which try it was, but I could have sworn I saw someone in a position to tackle the tryscorer start to shape up for the hit and then not attempt it. Piss weak.

Best. Review. Ever.

Are you still in BOTM? If so, will get my vote for every battle.

Only saw it once, and maybe he was in an offside position or something, but what about the bloke who left the offload from Gallen that set up the first try? I mean, he was hardly going to deliver a cut-out ball when he's being lifted by three blokes, is he?

That was Kite's non-attempt on Inglis.

Can't recall who it was, but I'd like to see him get the same treatment as that dodgy solicitor in Underbelly when they threw him off the back of a boat attached to an old metal stove.

No mate, I'm out - beaten by the legend that is Smitteh. No shame in that, unlike the useless ****s last night who gave us nothing.

 

[Simon]

Haha Burgey gun. All correct too.

Am hoping Jamie Lyon gets picked for game 3 just to see your reaction.

Thought it was Kite, but I didn't want to speculate.

It's not speculation mate, it's a rebuttable presumption of fact.

Kite's a ****ing ****...is that better?

 

[Burgey]

Spot on (Y)

 

[Mister Wright]

NSW need to select 3 players - Joel Clinton, Ennis & Hindmash. If they had those 3 players they could build a team around them and Gidley and Hayne.

 

[Ausage]

Haha spot on Burgey.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Ennis should always have been picked, Farah's such a pretty boy ******.

I can't believe I paid 60 bucks to go to that game. ****ing Jamie Lyon will be getting a bill from me for my expenses.

Best part about the game was the free mother they were handing out outside the stadium after the game and my new free blue wig.

But wouldn't you rather give away a penalty then give up a soft try?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Dragons
Bulldogs
Titans
Roosters
Storm
Broncos
Knights

Suspiciously easy week to tip. I sense a trap...

 

[vic_orthdox]

Take the same as Brumbers.

Will be interesting to see who they pick next match. Get the feeling we will be going round and round for the next 2-3 seasons picking guys that are club standard, but below state of orgin standard.

Out of Quinn, Turner, McManus, David Williams, Joel Monaghan, El Masri, Cooper (in attack), Lyon and Grothe have truely look SOO standard at rep level. Apart from Cooper in defence I don't think anyone has.

Then you got your backrowers Tupou, Gallen, Hoffman, Laffranchi, Watmough, Glen Stewart, Lewis and Creagh. Struggling to find one that rep standard consistently. Most have had the odd good game here and there, but reckon their poor games out value their good games.

Then lets look at the front row Kite, Mason, O'Meley, White, Clinton, Perry and even Poore I'm not sold on.

Lets not even begin with the halves.

You can pick whoever you want for NSW and you will still wont have a SOO standard side. The quality not there.

This is the side I reckon would get closest to Queensland, wont help you in the long term though. But if you want some price back in the jumper, the only way to go rather then pick another bunch of rookies.

Gidley, Hayne, Jennings, Cooper, El Masri, Barrett, Kimmorely, Weyman, Ennis, Poore, Hindmarsh, Ryan, O'Donnell. Res: Wing, TLL/Houston, Fitzgibbon, Simpson
