Would have been a VERY tight finish if QLD score that try

SOO remains at its best, IMO, when NSW are winning and QLD are coming after them :lol:

Re: 2024 Women’s State of Origin series

Unlucky call there, thought that was a clean steal by QLD, NSW push it out to 16-0
Not thrilled about the decision to kick for goal either, 14 or 16 makes very little difference imo

Re: Trey Mooney inks big extension with Raiders

We’ve never been a particularly good red zone team under Stuart. And not to open old wounds but more than the 6 again or trainer-gate nonsense, I've always been of the opinion that it was our inability to score points in the red zone, particularly when we had them down to 12 men, was the primary rea...

I'm a Rickhead as much as anyone, however to be honest I think he still needs to improve on our attack in the 20 (I know we have a poor 9, and missing our 7, but for years we seem to have struggled against rushing defences). If, after over two decades of coaching Ricky figures out how to coach an a...

Dumb question - I think it's the most relevant question when you sack someone - do you have someone better to replace them with? If the answer is no, why change?
