I don’t even know what to say… I thought there were standouts for NSW, but it was like holding back the sea, down a player for over 70+ minutes the result was a forgone conclusion no matter how well anybody played.
@Griggsy is right though, Hynes was awful. Looked like a deer in headlights for most the game putting a lot of pressure on Luai.
i think the send off was a correct call.
before this incident Sualli was playing ok
that said i think Maguire got the selections all wrong again and Hynes is well to be kind NOT a SOO player.
He wasnt the only reason we lost but he was up there.
why did Trobejivic spend 50 minutes on the sideline and only come back with 5 minutes to go?
he was Captain after all.
on the Panthers, i think they all played as well as they could except for Yeos intercept pass but the game was well gone by then.
On the other mob, they have pace to burn which NSW sadly lack and even losing Walsh they brought Cobbo on and moved Fidow to FB who just played with us with his speed.
and goes to show Slater is a seriously good coach and if he continues like this could elevate himself to one of the great coaches and possibly Australian Coach.
On our players Lenui was only only potency we had in attack, that was it.
Hynes missed tackles, had a simply awful kicking game and just added nothing and agreed he placed plenty of pressure on Luai who despite trying just couldn’t get going.
Hynes will be first dropped but he will have some mates go with him!
The difference between Suallii hit and the Liam Martin hit…the attacker body height, 1 was standing vertical, the other sliding to the ground, the 2 hits IMO were almost identical.
The fact Klein used the term aggressive in his reasoning for the send off is ludicrous !
For game 1, the people who picked the team, demonstrated that they listen too much to the media experts, and don’t show any knowledge about RL in the 2020’s.
The teams that have been successful during the last 4 1/2 seasons (Mel, Par, Sth, Bris & us & of course QLD) have all had a winning formula. Big boppers up front who run hard, take a lot of defensive effort to stop them, fast play the ball & hit hard in defence. Where in that does Jake T fit? He runs softly with zero impact, takes forever to get up & play the ball &, whilst he racks up tackles, doesn’t scare anyone with his defence. A theory that is around is that he gets picked in rep teams because he brings his good looking sister to the camps, but I doubt that looking at him & his brothers, their sister would have any great looks
A clever D/H has been a crucial factor in all these teams, and we leave out Api and pick a defender. We pick a defender at 13, leaving the best 13 in the game on the bench?
The celebration of the return of "teddy’ was ridiculous. Finally he was dropped, and then the injury to Edwards was seen as a huge plus, as we got Teddy back!!!
The other media fav "Nicho’ was again found wanting. He kills it against weak opposition, but fails when put under pressure - just look at his game against us two weeks ago.
The current NSW coach & hangers on can say that the game was gone when the send-off came. In fact it was gone when they named an inferior team.
NSW will never win until they pick the best team. If they lose game 2, I want all Panthers left out of game 3
While the game was over in the 7th minute, the send off was deserved, and let’s face it Suali should never have been picked in the first place.
Teddy showed why he is over it.
As said Hynes is a pretender when it comes to big games. Sure Moses has a tendency to go to water when behind on the scoreboard , but at least he can play from the front, something Hynes can’t do except with weak opposition.
My changes for game 2:
Edwards for Teddy (no brained).
Burton or Latrell in centres
Moses for Hynes
Yeo to play lock and captain.
Api at hooker - maybe off the bench (I’d play Kenny for the first 30 minutes e.g 2022 GF).
Need a big tough prop - maybe RCG?
I actually think this is a good compromise between what we have now, and having stand alone weekends. It will mean more recovery time for players backing up.
Fittler and Johns on WWOS have said Moses should be 7, Cody Walker should be 6 and Mitchell should be in the centres.
Moses i thought was average last night, Walker and Mitchell against Broncos were average at best.
and now suggesting Cam Murray also makes the squad.
Now these 2 are saying they are the silver bullet for our team.
I hope NO Panther players get picked, not because i wouldn’t want them to be recognised at the elite level but in the last game Yeo was off the bench and now they are dismissing Luai because he was outside Hines who is useless at this level.
They couldn’t pick a team to win when they were in charge, now they want to pick a winning side.
They must be watching a different game to what i am watching.
