Thought i dodged the bullet with the missed fg by lockyer, then the captain sinks the ship.
Not suprised the toads went for the try with no time left, nothing new, they played the whole 80 and we didnt. Would have been a great comeback but wasnt to be, looked ugly for the first half but ended up being a entertaining game in the second.
BIG FUCK U TO THE QUEENSLANDERS , enjoy it while u can.
mander & harrigan B.O.D!!!
Although he gave it all gidley failed as a captain and as a fullback at this level, at club level he might be a great fullback but obviously he is too slow to be the last man on defence in origin against the current canetoads, u clearly gotta see the difference between the two opposite fullbacks. Can't say he had a good game because not many players have the chance to lead a side in origin, he just wasn't good enough as a captain. Yeah he ran the ball well and made up the metres but just wasn't alert in crucial stages of the game when he was needed in the last line of defence, have a look at the second try by inglis, fuck even sattler would have of gathered him up, i'm not taking nothing away from G.I with the effort but I expect a better attempt by the captain atleast. Not saying he's slow but inglis has lost speed due to bulking up over the years and regularly caught by the opposing FB... 4 total tries this season for his club so far, it was clearly a poor attempt by gidley as a top class fullback. Than have a look at slater's defense on the line and his instincts as a fullback leading to o'donnell's fumble over the line, how can we compete. Yeah, i'm spewing brett stewart is out of the picture for now but u gotta agree like slater the bloke's alert in defense.
Big call by taking the penalty goal when we had qld on the ropes early, bad fucking choice, we're playing the maroons here not the fucking sharks...fuck the 2pts early in the game, keep attacking and take out one of their legs when given the chance, not to mention the standard conversion kick he missed after all that. Also his errors in the 2nd half were just comical, really with his form this year i thought he'll be the key man for the blues in this series but the nerves got the better of him. If the selectors decide to stay with gidley at the position for the remainder of the series, he better lose the nerves and be more alert for us to be competitive, we're facing the world's best backline here. Personally i'm not confident with gidley at fullback for game 2, the bloke's a quality player but lacks alot in the defending part of the game as a fullback, there's a reason why the knights are the worst defensive side in the top 8 atm. JT has exposed this both against the knights and last night in game 1.
campese, wallace
WTF was that!
bring in mullan, we need a kicking game.
mcmanus, lyon, weyman and kite
If that's all they've got, give someone else a go.
hayne was brilliant, jennings made an impact on his debut
The boys played their hearts out but qld just did the extra work on defence to win the game.
Fuck 4 years of this
fingers crossed.
Let's level it up
