Too true.

yes........worse than awful

Think Idris might be in for him next time out. Could still do a job in Super League though......

He was not awful in the sense he cost his sides points etc. However, he failed to make much of an impact and you would have expected to have owned his opposite number. Boyd smashed him on at least a couple of occasions.

Boyd smashed him a few times coming off the wing but really Gasnier should of been taking advantage of his opposite number Tonga having an injury to his left shoulder. Everytime he took the ball up he was holding his left arm awkwardly and did well to continue through the whole game. I agree that Idris should come in for the next game. Other than that NSW did quite well and one of the main reasons they lost was a single error by Morris. Uate, Dugan and Jennings looked dangerous throughout and should be in again for the second game. How good was the QSD prop Matthew Scott every one of his hit-ups were strong and took them over the advantage line.

He can still to a job at Origin level, he was just poor today.

Agreed Idris should play.

Did anyone notice how few penaties compared with a superleague game. Why cant our refs copy the aussies. If stevie and his pal had been commentating they would have been screaming for pnalties every other tackle

Fair play to Ricky Stewart there was a lot of talk about Hayne and Idris missing out but for me Dugan and Jennings were class today.

Shows form over rep does work.

As for Gasnier he's there to be a leader in a very young back line.

the tv coverage was brilliant,puts our boring mundane studio chat to shame,maybe why the game is more popular over there.

Form? Jennings has not scored a single try for Penrith this year and Dugan missed the start of the season through injury.

I agree they were quality but the choice was made on something other than form.

Yep, the reason why RL is less popular over here is because our commentary teams are worse. Best drop the RFL an email.

I though Matt Scott was outstanding, one of the best front row performances I have seen in a long time. Was like watching Webke in his pomp.

He'd do more than a job in SL, he's been the outstanding centre in the Nrl this year. He just had an average game today.

Agreed, as much as I wanted and hoped the Blues sneaked it at the end, he definitely deserved to be on the winning side. If I'm honest the QLD backline was pretty ordinary today, 2 of their tries where off bad defensive errors by the blues, especially last try the blues defender was more interested in smashing Lockyer which left the gap wide open for Slater. The Blues tries were by far the better quality, but Scott was outstanding in the forwards for QLD and definitely deserved to be on the winning team.
