You sound like a bitter old man, and if this was a team full of Queenslanders based outside of NSW you'd be singing their praises. It's amazing how you bang on about unconscious bias, when virtually every post you make is through the lens of bias towards the Raiders or Queensland.
He's right you know.
About being a bitter old man?
I’m detecting quite a lot of bitterness and bias round these here parts.
And the two x 2m forward passes in the same play? fair

Yes, both you and cat!
I’m thinking you’re one who’s showing a good deal.

Two howler forward passes allowed to go for the Broncos there.
What sits above a howler? A screamer? Whatever it is those are it!

I'm happy for you to tell me how GE. Genuinely curious to know exactly how I'm coming across as bitter. You're carrying on like a petty little man.

That try from two forward passes has really come at a critical juncture in the game. Four converted tries required.

That first pass was at least 2 metres forward. The touchie has the Broncos at 13 plus.

Backwards out of the hands.

According to Annesley in his Monday review telling us the ball was backwards in comparison to a jet plane flying at Mach 2 directly above the ground.

The second was forward too imo, but on replay it was closer than i thought
I see a few of those get let go every week

the first is frankly a penalty for a deliberate forward pass. :lol:

Didn’t Walsh hurt his knee against us performing a post try celebration? With 20 mins to go till a GF appearance I’d be telling him a handshake is an adequate try celebration at this stage.

I feel dirty saying this, but looks like I will be cheerig for the Panthers next weeks.... unless there is some sort of miracle where the GF gets cancelled altogether.

Yeah those balls running at full tilt are often a bit forward but rarely called by the ref.

I don’t understand why you think it’s OK to send these sorts of personal remarks my way.

In any case, your biases against Queensland are well known, so I don’t get why you’re criticising me for being biased and bitter…

Haas has been outstanding but comparatively his influence on the game isn’t as significant as Walsh or Reynolds. Everyone needs a good prop but $1m+? I’m not sold the position justifies it.

Hey if you're going to throw stones.

You said I'm bitter around these parts. Where in this thread?

Go to this year's origin threads, find me some posts where I'm bitter. You won't, there aren't any. I was pretty scathing of NSW and gave Queensland the credit they were due.. Unlike you. Grow up.

Agreed. Without Walsh they're battling it out for bottom of the 8. He has been incredible this season.

You’d normally be screaming “Touchdown” after that Walsh pass.

Well they got more than their share of help tonight, but they played very well, and they've been one of the two best teams all year. Congratulations Brisbane, I hope that Penrith flog you.
