Won't argue with that. DCE has been decent too.

Disagree. Was an absolute gun at his best. Up there with Joey, Locky etc.

As a neutral, I just thought it had it all.

Obviously I’m totally biased but I think it’s an instant classic. Proper gladiator stuff

"QLD spirit". Whenever QLD wins its about spirit. How about skill and ability?

Commiserations to the blues fans, brilliant series and always some fun posting. Thanks crew
It was exciting, but way too many mistakes. From both sides. And as I said earlier in the thread, the first team to stop making them would win. And they did.
Being a VIC I couldn't care less who actually wins and just hope for a good series/game each time.
That's a pretty impressive coaching start for Slater. Small sample size but he seems like someone that can really rally his team.

I think considering how absolutelt gassed they all were from about the 15 minute mark the skills were pretty good.

Pressure brought all that about mate. Both sides gave it everything. Can't ask for much more as a Rugby league fan.

Absolutely filthy with this series loss.
NSW So much better on paper. 3-2 in the Fittler era is just s**t given the disparity of talent.
He's gotta be gone.
I'd have Joey, Lockyer, Thurstan and co ahead of Fittler on the field, but Freddy is certainly not out of place in their company.
But his career in the coaching box has been underwhelming, both with Roosters and NSW.
Being a Vic = QLD

is the katy perry menulog repeating on their telecast?
Don't agree, but all good. The better team won on the night, I'm definitely not disagreeing with that. They got their s**t together.

When you are down to 2 on the bench so early and missing your best playmaker, that was all grit. No idea how they kept going and surprised Qld weren't the ones making fatigue related errors.
Totally. This is what AFL has gradually lost over the years. I've been on the Storm since day one, but I also started watching the English Super League during lockdown, just love the vibe.
Haha, it's just not the same though, I just can't get around it as much. Have tried to get around one over the years but my heart never cares enough and I just resort to being a neutral fan of the game.

Patty Carrigan player of the series on debut? Was huge all series especially defensively
You look at the teams on paper and the two early outs and not a single soul gives the Maroons a look in. Insane performance, pure heart and grit.
Hey I'm claiming it.
