Reynolds is involved in way too many of those sort of tackles for it to be coincidental. Scott is also a known oval office.

Anyone else notice that Queensland started struggling when Papalii went on at prop? Maybe having a real prop on the bench would help.

Not that I'm defending that tackle but how often do players get sit down for that nowadays. Almost never. Are you really surprised they didn't do it then?

I don't often see a player grabbing by the shoulder and spiking the tackled player. The ludicrous bit is he wasn't even on report for the spiking.

What really pisses me off about NSW is the endless forearms to the head of the tackled player on the ground. Hodges does it too, but every tackle a NSW tackler has his forearm all over the head and face.

At the start of the game Rabs said that Thurston has played in all 24 games of the streak but I was sure I remembered him in a wheelchair one game, replaced by Scott Prince. Was that actually Lockyer?

I would like to know where hooking someones shoulder and driving them down is gently putting them on their back.

This is yet more of the general idiocy like Gallen punching a dude in game 1 last year. A new rule will be brought in and it will punish a qld player who wasn't even involved like Tate last year.

He is only an edge runner. He's pretty awful in the middle third when he ends up there for the raiders. He is at his best running off the hip of a half or fullback. He is not a prop.

Prozone GPS loggers. They are used for tracking player movement. The heat maps you see are derived from the data they grab.

Bingo. A bench made up of a halfback and three back rowers was always a big risk.
