If tonight proved anything, it’s that Moses is not the player he is made out to be by the media. We looked disjointed all game.

First problem - Fittler’s choice of 6 and 7. Should have been the Souths duo.
Second problem - the three fullbacks forgot they had two very good finishing wingers outside of them.

Your last statement AR is the one for me, it was a hogathon close to the line. I don’t know why, but it seemed like it was a Latrellathon and he was going to win it for us on his own.

Not a good team display at all !

Yes very disappointing- we couldn’t get the ball to our outside guys in space. Whitton is a runner not a passer & it showed. The game was very slow for an origin game which suited the cane toads :frog: Still if Turbo had just run on that break we win - Ponga was never going to tackle him! It would have been so good for 3-0 all in QLD but not to be. Back to the comp now :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
