Cleary's step back in is so good. Caught QLD Morons a few times. Sure loves doing it against qlders. Thought both nsw and QLD Morons were guilty of going for their resoective targets in lomax and nanai a bit too much this game. Needed more unpredictability and too gun shy to try something else on last.

Not sold on moses as 5/8.

Yeah, Cleary and Moses is a weird pairing. It probably kept the score closer than it should’ve been.
 
GG blues. Looks like we could be looking at some short term teething issues with the northern state.

Won't last long though, 💙 Mighty NSW sniff their own farts too much for it to last.
 
Felt like 💙 Mighty NSW always had that under control Ponga is majorly out of sorts just let him come home and play for the kiwis/warriors 👀
He really needs a change of scenery, knights aren’t bettering top 8 seasons recently and his form is deteriorating. There was headlines that dolphins offered him a contract when they came into the competition and the money wasn’t what knights were offering for an extension, but the lure was to learn under Wayne Bennett. He chose to extend at knights so hard to know if his driver is genuinely to win a premiership but now is the time to choose union or knuckle down to chase that title, and I don’t see that happening at knights. You need a crystal ball to know how Dylan Brown will fit in at the knights, but he doesn’t change their need for a 7 and apparently Brown is it, they aren’t interested in Sexton or Sandon Smith so looks likely Brown will play 7. Noticed Ponga mumbling the Aussie national anthem too, so not sure what that means towards his international allegiance?

It's a shame, because Wayne would have toughened him up a bit, at the very least.

Ponga shouldn't be playing rep footy, in my opinion. I feel like he's a bit mentally broken at the moment and these sorts of pressures are just going to make it worse.
