Viewed game NSW V QLD, yes HTC it was bit disappointing to see our future wallaby men play on an average park field and the bench struggling to view their counterparts looking straight into the sun, poor management skills! Qld pack took control once they got settled both scrummaging & line outs. Tupou is definitely a player of the future, seemed to get his side on the front foot when he took the defence on, but all forwards were strong and well organised. I hear Brad Thorn is in the mix with coaching staff. NSW were not what I was expecting, was hoping for a real nail biting exhibition but not to be, Maddock was instrumental under pressure (highball) and good counter attacking skills. Few mistakes from NSW May have cost them however qld line speed was outstanding as they caused handling errors. Overall good start and room for improvement, not sure why qld bench came on so late, I know they have a class player on the bench, are they saving him.?...
