QLD lost the game with their errors, lets be frank.
But how does the bunker get this wrong? Ball is kicked closer to the 40m line than the halfway line. Plath's foot is pretty much dead on 45m.
He's onside, worst case too close to call. Would have set up a massive finish too.

Johnny Bairstow weirdly very pleased with himself (and Joe Root loving every minute of it) after holding the ball in order to stump a batsman who got lazy and thought the delivery was finished...

I love the whole Bazball approach, but at a certain point you just start sounding like you're on drugs.

I'm old enough to remember when Alec Stewart held the ball in his gloves for a few seconds before stumping Brian Lara. Weird that so many English fans seem to think the ball is dead once it's in there.

For no particular reason I'd like to point out that I was calling for Billy Slater to be QLD coach 4 years ago...

Any chance of Slater going for QLD role if Kevin steps down? Involved this year, and seems to have good insight into plays and strategies.

The run from Taumololo. 😳
20 metres from a standing start against 6 defenders, first game back after 2 months off. Man playing against boys stuff.

Bit lost in all the finals stories from last weekend, but gotta say - in an awful year for the Titans, Tino Fa'asuamaleaui has been a shining light.
Guy played front row for the full 80 mins, 25 runs for 257 metres (118 post-contact), made 35 tackles and even a try assist. 🙌

Colour blind people have no idea what’s happening in this game with those two jerseys…

Lots of nonsense about this tackle not being enough to cause a concussion. Kostya Tszyu used to say the sweet spot for a knock out was the base of the jaw right beneath the ear…and that guy knew a thing or two about turning out the lights. See the slowmo ⬇️

Plenty of talk about the mechanism of Kalyn Ponga’s concussion last night - watching the replay it wasn’t as innocuous as even I first thought. Head into ground a factor but tackler’s forearm did end up catching & shifting the side of the jaw - very vulnerable point to KO’s

I’m no fan of Fittler’s coaching, but how was this an “unloseable” series? Look at the match-ups across the park position-wise, there was nothing between the teams (and that’s how most of the series played).
Perhaps assuming NSW was the superior team is the heart of the problem?
Mark,criticism was warranted. NSW had just lost another “unloseable” series with some questionable selections.
Has your friendship with Freddy clouded your judgement ?
