That was really hard to watch. First day jitters? Overall pretty ordinary standard.
Some very strange coaching decisions.
Hopefully it will improve over next few games

If one of the 'strange coaching decisions' you refer to is game plan, then I would agree.
In the NSW 1s match, the 'plan' seemed to be to get the ball as wide as possible as soon as posible, and when you run out of room, throw some miraculous flick or kick to keep the ball in play.
It's hard to think that a coach would have suggested this, but someone in the NSW 1s decided to do it anyway.
There was no hitting up by the forwards, no phasing, no structure.
Perhaps it was the Joeys crew just going out to show their combinations, but it didn't work and has maybe hurt all their chances of selection further up the line.
If not for some Lachlan Albert individual brilliance in scoring the try late in the first half, that game could have easily swung Qld 2s way.
A comfortable scoreline in the end, but weren't they expected to beat Qld minus their best 50 odd players by more?
