Watched it live on 'box' here in Townsville Queensland. I though it WAS poor ...as far as good controlled ball work and well executed tries are concerned.

ALL the tries bar one (a good 'Wolfman' try...but it hardly made up for his inexcusable under 12 schoolboy inability to hold onto the ball twice in his own 30) were because of mistakes verging from the unfortunate (Hayne's interception from JT's pass) to the downright pathetic (Folau's and Lockyer's walk-ins). The Ingliss try was a result of lazy Blues play...and the second Hayne's try was bad refereeing..Should have been disallowed... but I guess they had to try making it more competitive for the second half.
Further bad refereeing would have put Qld out of sight in the first half (the unbelievably disallowed Harrison try). ..ditto making it a 'more competitive' match.

I am not doubting the intensity of the second half...but I have seen much better controlled and quality play/tries in the Superleague (maybe not quite so much from the rhinos Rolling Eyes )

Although I agree Ingliss would rather adequately solve our (Leeds') centre problems...I don't rate Billy Slater as highly as Gidley (not your Gidley), Webby or even Greenshields. Yes..he's great on attack, in broken play...but on the high ball he never instills me with any confidence. Why was he not tested more in this way ? The blues' kicking game was woeful.
JT is a great player but Long is better ...and as for 'evergreens'...don't ever think Morley and Peacock to be past it for quite a number of years yet. How dare the Aussies laugh at us for ageing forwards.
Lockyer was outplayed by Barrett (who should have been sent off)..both were inferior to Pryce (at least when he plays for his club)... and McGuire surely has the talent to be better than any of them if he can learn to stop trying to beat himself all the time with a damn silly run instead of a good kick. Wink

Just sorry I'm missing the Bulls game. Sure it's going to be far more enjoyable.

Have just found out that the game is being shown again on Setanta Ireland (sky 430) ....a few people didn't realise last time, so thought i would inform people in good time.
