Is this the famous Ray Warren commentating?

"...And now Smith, with the upside down 6 on his back." :blink: Why not just say 9? :mellow:

I hate watching games like that, have almost no intrest in it at all. Lockyer needs to be moved back to Fullback (or atleast defend there...)

no way, you know what the problem with lockyer was, he didnt get the ball enough. Im not sure if it was partof the game plan but Cameron Smith always went to Bowen or Thurston, if it was deliberate it was pathetic, the selectors, the coach and half the team should never be seen again...

The back three collectively had the poorest match ive ever seen from a back three in an origin match ever....

Matt Bowen = USELESS

That sums it up for me. NSW were trying to get the ball into the hands of their best playmaker whenever possible. QLD weren't. I watched till 28 - 0, and Lockyer only had the chance to kick a bomb once up to that stage, and was unlucky a try didn't come of it.

Kudos to NSW, especially for their defence in the first 5 minutes. Few questionable calls early made their job a little easier, but Johns was good again.

Lockyer is the captain and cheif playmaker, if he wants the ball he should demand it and command the team.
yeh which is whay i suspect it was part of the game plan to go to the 2 cowboys playmakers more often, i guess they were trying the old double bluff on the blues, what a great decision is turned out to be,,,

Bye bye Michael Hagan...

I don't know what it is about rugby league but it is obvious clubs don't like sacking caoches during the season no matter how poor the team is going. If he was a football/soccer manager or in any other sport he would have been sacked long ago.

Who is the next best choice? We can't keep going back to Wayne Bennett.

At the start he wasn't useless, because if he was he wouldn't have made that try saving tackle in the first half when Minichello looked like he was going to score.

i heard Matt Elliott would be interested, he'd be ok if he had a few more ideas on teaching teams to attack...

Matt Bowen should never wear the Qld #1 again on the back of that performance, Karmichael Hunt should be given the job in 06...

I heard that Craig Bellemy was being talked about getting the job, but his is from NSW i think. The guy i would go for is John Lang, but they maybe be looking for a more long term option.

I think Karmichael Hunt may have similar problems in defence and under the high ball as Bowen and Slater. Not as great but it will be something that the Blues will target again next season if his fullback. On the back of the last two games Schifcofske looks the best option.

Ty Williams is the guy that looked the worst out of all your players, up aganist King he had nothing. Once NSW found his weakness, NSW targeted it time and time again.
