SOO, Jake, DCE, general discussion

[BOZO]

Pretty sure that the concussion of Cam Murray was caused by a deliberate head butt from the ball carrier.

Nothing more inspiring than seeing Blues battered on the Queensland Cauldron

It is a reminder for them what to expect when they come and run on to our sacred ground

Do not expect the Blues to come at the Cauldron for a house warming tea party and scons feathered friend

 

[BOZO]

NSW missed having a forward such as Guacca. The NSW second-rowers (martin, Crichton and Murray) are not big enforcers, and this is where I believe our forwards lacked penetration. Fittler will regret not selecting Gucca (or a similar type of player), and I imagine he'll be in the 2023 SOO side, even though he has committed to Tonga.

Guacca is the most Dynamic back rower in the game

Blind Freddy can not see this

Oh I see, you're a Queenslander. Suddenly it all makes sense.

Although I can't blame Murray since he barely had any minutes, Martin and Crichton were awful last night. Saifiti and Paulo were the only forwards who rolled their sleeves up in attack. Jake had a go but his runs were ineffective.

 

[BOZO]

Crichton was terrible again. Wighton should have been there.

The NSW blues people are clutching at straws

Just accept your loss gracefully

It does not matter who was there for NSW and the Catastrophic Cauldron

The unparalleled Maroon winning spirit always prevails

The NSW blues could have had an extra 4 players on the field and still would have lost

I am a Maroon feathered friend

Maroon for Manly makes more sense than Pale baby Blue for Manly

Tell him there is an award-winning barber at Warringah Mall who specialises in ugly haircuts.

He has previously worked for Game of Thrones and the Thor franchise.

How bad is his mullet ??

 

[winnyason]

Blues where not creative enough, dce combo with Ponga, Benny hunt as lock, Harry Grant out of 9 and dearden just to much to handle.
Fittler got nothing without trell and Tommy

So bad that the fish in question have their legal team investigating a copyright infringement.

The Maroons were also missing Munster as well as 2 players out of action with concussion

The Maroons wont be fazed with Tom and Trell as they have shut down many big NSW names before

NSW were favourites last night with their fancier team on paper but as usual they were handled like paper soldiers by the Maroons

The Proven Maroon winning spirit is unparallel

Is this what Joey meant when he said these merkins would be unbearable for another 12 months?

Yes! I'm with Joey, glad he said what I'm sure we're all thinking haha

Can I just say that Jake is an absolute champion. The workload that bloke does is unbelievable. Yes some times his runs are ineffective ..........but look how quick he gets to his feet for the next player to take advantage. It was no surprise that last nights game was won and lost when Jake wasn't patrolling the middle. And I'm talking effective tackles....that's no post contact metres. He's just a star.

 

[StuBoot]

Yeah,

Ummmm Burton took out Ponga after he made the break & passed by running into his back for no reason mate! Gagai retaliated & Tino came into hold Burton back...then Api came in also. If Tino goes as 3rd man in so does Api. It's not the reason NSW lost......it's the fu<king moron Coach & his twat assistant Johns who lost it. Did you listen to the embarrassing biased NSW commentary from the 9 team? Disgusting & that idiot Johns almost in tears....what a fu>king dickhead he is! Man i can't stand the sight of the moaning pri<k!

l know that's not the reason they lost but disagree on who started it.
I thought Burton running into Ponga was just one of things, Ponga just got up and played on without looking sideways so l doubt he thought it was intentional.
Gagai made a concerted effort - ran 10 metres or more to go after Burton so to me he got off lightly by just going to the bin.
At one stage it was three on one - Gagai, Tino and Capewell.

Is it too soon for a Capewell joke?

 

[QueefRichards]

I think we can all agree that Panthers should be kicked out of the competition after that

 

[Rafferty]

Spot on, I’d say!

 

[lsz]

And why they didn't try that in last 10 minutes instead of Cleary's efforts is beyond me. It's like he is limited to one kick per game for some reason. Dumb

I could not understand why they did not do an early kick from him when they were pinned on their own line for so long. All I can guess is that the forwards were cooked already

 

[eagleron]

Farrrk you, Toopoo, tool. Completely farrrked that up.

If it weren't for the fact that he's a rooster there's no way he would have been selected, he was the cause of Holmes scoring in origin 1 and again last night he was like a fish out of water in defence, whether catching a high ball or generally defending, at his worst Saab is an improvement even in headless chook mode and running backwards, there were better options than him and Fittler should let us all know why he persisted in keeping him, his best days are well behind him
