The media were always going to use words like "axed" and "stood down". Every quote of Cleary was glowing talk about how this will help a player he has a ton of respect for. It was one of his better games today too.

I'm just annoyed it was Kingston who got the nod instead of Timmeh.

I'm not going to lie and say I was his biggest fan as a player, but he always seemed a good bloke and gave 100% for my team. **** thing to happen to anyone and I hope he's ok.

What's with all these sports starts having heart attacks? First Muamba, there was that guy who died on the field in a Serie B match, now Purts.

Ahh so the sarcasm detector is still working, good news. :ph34r:

But yes completely correct.

I think Cleary is trying to stamp out issues we've got with players having power, which is where the whole Jennings thing comes from. I can't see how someone like Lewis needs to be smacked down though.

Does Fittler have an official role with anyone at the moment? Or does he just make appointments with the power-brokers as a FOG?

Fittler doesn't have an official role, and I think roaming around as a FOG is probably where he's best suited. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed ol Freddie.

It can be mate, but it's unlikely. NSW still tried to throw the ball around when they had it, You're more likely to come up with one try in that time than two. That's why it made a difference. Just out of interest, how many times have teams come back to score two tries and win the game on the back of a contentious decision at the very back end of the game? It knocks the wind out of your sails a bit. Especially when you've got to get the ball back before you have a crack at the opposition line.

I love how QLD have a mortgage on 'spirit' now you've won 6 in a row too...the old QLD spirit wasn't too evident after a 56-12 loss and 3 series losses in a row. But now it's all we hear about haha The fact of the matter is, NSW will lose more than they win while they don't have a decent halfback - 5/8 combination and QLD have 13 players in the test team. It is nice to have close games though, and last Monday's game was good to watch. There are no excuses for NSW not being able to find players capable of winning games however.

It hasn't been proven by the letter of the law to be a try because of one simple fact - it depends entirely on what Robbie Farah was trying to do with his foot. It comes down to whether you assume he was trying to kick the ball or not. As far as I know, Robbie Farah hasn't said much on the matter yet, if anything. Everyone else is just guessing.

Looked like it's hit his chest and onto Thurston to me. At the very least you can't be sure if it's hit Hodgson's arm after the chest, so at worst it's benefit of the doubt.
