Imagine how Luai felt during the GF when the bronc/toads thought they had in the bag and they were booing a spent Luai who was on the bench in pain. Waving goodbye to salty toads, at the Cauldron, is just the sweetest payback you can imagine.
Luai was the iceman, no one has mentioned his pin point dropouts under pressure. You all seen the rest. Love mitch, but he kicked one dead., Luai unsung hero.
@1362pc Oh Luai is a grub, that got attacked by DCE then smashed into the qld bench by Nanai then the whole qld bench got up and started to interfere. But yea Luai is the grub. Go back to your glass house you grubby queenslander.
See what you’re saying but an easy mistake to misread a Crichton from a Crichton with his physicality. Man was a force as well both defense and offence broke so many of the first tackles and made tonnes of offloads
So many blues had a wonderful series and I reckon Critta is THE form center, panther academy lad after all. I would have hated the job of choosing the Wally.
Jake was picked as the NSW Captain because he is a nice bloke. Isaah Yeo was the real leader on the paddock. He is an outstanding leader. Jake was the captain of the bench.
Jake was picked to soften the blow back of cutting Teddy. Madge wanted a new fullback. No other way to drop Teddy but remove the captaincy. Nobody hates Jake, made sense.
Moses could do what he did because of people like Angus C, without what Angus did with dominating centre and defence, Moses had no chance to do what he did
He hasn't got a low grade club to win a GF in the NRL. You could say the bunnies, but they had a lot of money and players. Like Fletch said, maybe he can take Canberra to a GF win for a 30 year drought.
@ryanelliott84 my point is, if he can come in and make a club like Raiders or Parramatta ect win then he will be the ultimate. But obviously Parramatta has a new coach so do Tigers so they won't be changing until 2026-2027 depending on how they go.
This nsw origin series is the best for a long time especially the ones from Penrith 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 and to shut up the queenslands is simply the best and boy they have been so so so quite 😂😂😂
18m:00 re Captaincy. The Captain is a figurehead. He does not have to bark orders etc. Look at NFL, the Quarterback is not necessarily the Captain. It is a player with great work ethic, consistent and is admired and looked up for good values, intrinsic values and plays the game in the right spirit. Jake T is that. After Tedesco sacked they went with someone you really could not falter in Jake. He doesn't have to be out there for 80 minutes.
QLD will always be the winners because… sing and chant with me! ‘I’m a Queenslander! Every time I look at the map, You’re underneath me! Every time I look at the map, Your beneath me! I’m a Queenslander! Queenslander!
The Samoan and Tongan players can both still play for Australia cos they are tier 2 nations but they have chosen to play for Samoa but they can change their mind
Easy fix. Anything other than grade one is a fine. Grade one is loss of Origin selection for X number of games or extreme charge, possible life suspension from Origin. Origin is not a part of the NRL, it's a stand alone Event that is played by NRL players. No suspensions or fines should effect the NRL and possible compensation for a lost player due to origin injury should be adopted. Number of weeks lost salary rebate to the clubs salary cap or something like that. The NRL is not a Supermarket Chain , it should'nt take from the poor to give to the rich. Origin is the Cream.Nrl is the farmers that supply the cattle that produce that cream. Stop screwing our farmers. Go Blues Farmers. Have a crack bloody Eels, I am running out of time.
