After the start in Game 2, might need to set several alarms clocks around the Queensland squad.

What temp is it to make it freezing in Brisbane? It's been NZ cold in Sydney the past few days.

Anyway, what do peeps think about RTS on the wing and Tuaupiki at fullback? I'm not sure if RTS on the wing is a good thing or not.

Also, hope Barnett doesn't get lots of minutes in your guys bogan off tonight - then we're effectively down to a one prop rotation.

I flew in to single figures. Was not prepared!

I think RTS gets more opportunity to roam as a wing than he does as a centre, so I dont mind it over centre. While I personally think RTS is the better fullback, if Tuapiki the next best player available from the lower levels then we are almost forced into this. We also have one young centre back playing in Ali Leiataua so hopefully he kicks on from what he showed last year before getting injured.

Im also hoping Barnett doesn't play many minutes, as the alternative middle rotation does look weak.

People wear beanies and gloves as soon as it is below 20°C

At half that they'll be dressed like an Antarctic expedition. If they even leave home.

Fuck

My hope for Barnett no longer minutes concern, more hope he doesn’t get sent off, something tells me this could get messy

[Gunner]

Jeepers, she’s pretty hostile out there.

[Gunner]

That defensive set from Queensland is as brutal as I’ve ever seen.

If both teams can keep this intensity up it’ll be one hell of a game.

[Gunner]

DCE and Luai throwing handbags, results in an all cuddling session. How good, love the passion in it.

Nanai binned for rushing in first, Murray binned from the bench for giving lip, and for some unknown reason NSW get the penalty.

There’s nothing in it, no one should have been binned.

[ACT Crusader]

I can sort of understand Nanai given he can in unsighted with a shoulder.

Not a fan of Luai by any stretch but DCE was dumb there.

Now Maroons are on the ropes.

[ACT Crusader]

Shocking attack from the Blues.

Unbelievable defence from Qld, they’ve been under the pump but keep showing up and knocking NSW back.

[ACT Crusader]

@Gunner no variation, barely a dummy runner in sight. The passing is high. They made one decent 5th tackle kick.

[Gunner]

@ACT-Crusader you’re not wrong.

As bad as they’ve been, Qld’s defence has been the exact opposite.

Qld will be happy to go up 2-0 on the stroke of half time.

[bayimports]

Brutal half of league, loved it

Absolutely brilliant to watch.

[bayimports]

Mitch Barnett right at home out there too. Have no idea which way this game goes,

Qld should be more tired, but never quit so could go anyway

[ARHS]

Auspicious debut Mitch. Benched cos the guy you replaced got binned when he was on the bench. Unlucky or what!
