No idea, a pen 40 metres out gets you a set starting in the opponants 20 at least. Good chance to push for a try or at least a repeat set.

I honestly think to have not have had all the pressure on Todd's shoulders..they should have gone with the Soward/Pearce combo and then use Carney off the bench. I just hope Watmough goes in for Cregah in the next game and Hinchcliffe for Burher. Other than that, I'm pretty happy.

NSW just had those little silly things in their game and it cost them last night. Bring on Game 2 already!

Why do you want to drop Buhrer now? What the fuck is the point of having Carney on the bench? Soward is garbage.

I'm aloud to have an opinion...

Buhrer barley had any impact what so ever. Carney can fill in to the halves, fullback or centres if needed.

In the ideal world, it should be:

6. Carney
7. Pearce
14. Hinchcliffe.

Watmough to replace Creagh. I'm still hung up over if we should pick Aaron Woods or not...

Buhrer played for less than 10 minutes you muppet and he looked good during that time. What the fuck did you expect him to do? this is precisely the problem with NSW, we chop and change our side so much. Buhrer did well in his limited time, dropping the kid now only dents his confidence and makes the selectors look like morons yet again. Hinchcliffe who i wanted in the side anyway wouldn;t have made a difference in 10 mins either.

Carney cannot fill in in the centres or at fullback, what on earth are you thinking? He can play in the halves, thats it. Brian Smith had him playing fullback at the start of his Roosters career until the muppet realised Anasta is a rubish 5/8th. We already have Luke Lewis in the side and Buhrer on the bench, why would we have another small man on there? Both those guys can fill in if any backs are injured, Soward should be nowhere near the side.

[Bullseye]

Only change we need for game 2 is Creagh out and Watmough in. Keep the side together for a chance to bond and click together, establish that mentality to defeat Qld and try and win the series. The decision to kick for 2 when we had the fucks on the ropes was a piss poor decision, and I know Stuart wasn't happy with it as you could see from his reaction.

You are an idiot. We don't have "selectors" any more. Daley and that other dude were fired. Stuart picks the team he wants, Fulton is there as a consultant of sorts, and gives suggestions.

Why are we even arguing? We're NSW supporters, we are suppose to stick together..I've lived up here in QLD for all my life, and they NEVER ever fight, notice the difference?

It's not chopping and changing, dickhead. It's one little change on the bench ffs! We dropped Dean Young from the bench last year from game 1 and then slotted Gidley in. We only had problems in the past when we chopped and changed the halves...we should always keep the halves together barring injury or suspension.

Soward no where near the side? He was the only one along with Hayne who created things for the Blues in Game 3 of last year.

[Rush]

Soward doesn't have a creative bone in his body.

Semantics about the selectors/selector. Makes Stuart look incompetant. Why drop a guy who did well on debut in his limited time? Where is the logic in that? How in your opinion does Hinchcliffe change the game if he came on instead of Buhrer?

We're arguing because you don't have a clue.

No creative bone? The same guy who led Dragons to a grand final in 2010 has not creativity what so ever? You would do great in the stand up comedy circuit man.

It wouldn't dint Buhrers confidence at all, the same thing happened to Merrin last year and Merrin did good as last night. It's not the days of Murrary and Bellamy where there is 13 changes in the team. Stuart would know how to deal with situations like that. The Blues in Waiting camp is there for a reason, to nurture future NSW talent so they can get ready for State of Origin.

Hinchcliffe is great for the team with his ability to play second row and hooker. So if Farah is doing great like he was last night, Hinchcliffe can slot in to second row, or they could swap. I have nothing against Buhrer what so ever, I just think Hinchcliffe would be a better choice for now. Buhrer is a star of the future for sure though.

If anything, I'm worried that Farah will be dropped for Buderus...

[Rush]

Buhrer can play 2nd row, hooker, centre and 5/8th. I said i'd have liked Hinchcliffe in the side before the series. Thats not the question im asking. I said how does Hinchcliffe do anything more than what Buhrer did in his time on the field?

Are you kidding me? Dragons were/are one of the most boring sides in the competition. They pay a very structured, grinding style of football. Soward doesn't create anything from 5/8th, he does steer around the Dragons and keep things under control for them. In Origin however we already have Pearce in that role, you can't have 2 halves that play a very structured, no risk style of football. Look at every team in the competition and their style, each team will either have 2 creative halves (Manly, Warriors, Canberra, Titans, Bulldogs), one creative + one steady/structured player (Melbourne, Eels, Souths, Cowboys, Tigers, Sharks, Penrith, Knights, Broncos) and very occasionally 2 steady/structured players (Roosters w/o Mortimer, Dragons), most of the successful teams have at least 1 creative half. dragons get away with it because their defense is good and their forward pack gets them into the grind very easily.

It would dent Buhrer's confidence, he absolutely hated being on the bench for Hasler and was going to leave our club if Hasler was still there. He is very much a confidence player, dropping him will not destroy him or anything silly but it will be a bit of a dent for us at club level.
