How can you defend Finch and Anasta? I said it after Origin 1 and will say it again, a field goal doesn't warrant a good performance. It warrants luck LOL...The truth is, even if we did need to win with a field goal, Hodgson, any other half ror 5/8th, Buderus or even Mason could have kicked that Field Goal for ****s sake.
Had our halves been better, we would have been able to stay in the game...Anasta and finch are shocking. Not because they are Roosters, but because they are ****, and even their own fans say so. When Kimmorley was ****, he also got a gobful from the NSW faithful. How come we didn't bag Johns out, even when NSW lost? No one bagged him out when QLD cracked NSW 36-6 in game 3 '03....Or even Gower in 04...No one bagged him out. He tried his guts out and did well for the blues in game 1 '04...Or Barret?...
Don't defend the undefendable..
As for O'meley...well...He didn't play his best, but when he knew his attack wasn't as good, he defended valiantly and tried to make up for his lack of attacking power...
