Danica looks rough this week

Gotta love that stinky beaver

Happy 50th birthday 8th. Love from Cessnock Gallagher Street

Maybe you stopped.. I could listen to the great man talk about footy all day.

Should of just put a wig on the ring in

[@JJ-jq8re]

[@Burgo30]

Good episode. Well done Zack.

[@michaelclarke7413]

Dylan Edwards, the everywhere man, whether in defence or attack, about time he got the recognition he deserves, what a great reliable player.

[@alexjack5158]

Walker Bros, M.Chieka, these 3 would be epic NRL coachs. Their style of footy would be amazing to watch.

[@oldefellah52]

As we oldies always say Joey, "Happy Fucking Birthday!"

[@tiberiuzz8769]

Can this bloke replace Matthew Thompson on Freddy and the Eighth?

[@Daewonnni]

Matthew always looks like his just eaten something and washed it down with a flat white

[@troymaclean4146]

Agreed

[@mickhasthefacts8632]

Yes please, this guy is 1000X better than Thompson, he reminds me of Bracey. Real natural unlike wannabe Thompson.

[@jaycee571]

Exactly, he doesn't yell at the top of his voice like Thompson

[@Alekosdw]

Thompson is alright This bloke is a suck arse like James bracey

[@malsmith2012]

Absolutely need a rebuild and absolutely need some big forwards.. I couldn't believe it when I heard we had no recruitment manager etc.. Talk about asleep at the wheel..

Big & mobile

[@mickconnolly5784]

Bennett just put together a whole club so souths will be easier to get them going the right way. Than the dolphins he started with Nothing their

[@JF-oc1vn]

Old mate did a good job

[@ballchinian911]

Best transition surgery I have seen 😅

[@awkw4rdjoke]

They didn't play panther football at all! Teddy constantly got in the way and they ran the fwds for way more metres than panthers fwds who are mainly used in defence!

[@daleviker5884]

Yep, this guy gets it. Go and watch the first half of origin 1 last year. Tedyy calls for the ball play after play and dies with it. Cleary passed to Luai only TWICE and scored the second time, Luai to Martin. The problem wasn't the Penrt connection, the problem was that Tedesco was the captain and hogged the ball. Play Cleary, Luai and Edwards and watch how different the team ill be.

[@michaellarkin8049]

Panthers footy doesnt work as refs dont give the blues the same leeway during origin.

[@stevvvvveperry]

Yeah I thought last year that Panthers style vs QLD didn't work, but now I think it's because they didn't actually play that style. If they have Edwards, To'o and a big body like Turbo taking the 3 first hit ups every set, than the big boys only get involved once or twice a set. Guys like Haas, Martin and Olokautau can be energised the whole game. That would be hard for QLD to hold out for 80 minutes.

[@TheShepdawg9]

The Penrith game doesn't work in origin because suddenly they're not up against a bunch of B- professionals. Everyone on the other side is an A- or better.

[@seancole7619]

Panthers ball doesn't work because Billy has figured out that shutting down Yeo shuts down the panthers structure. Bringing in Edwards won't help that.

[@BMW-zz7ld]

It's hard for any coach trying to replace Wayne Bennett...Broncos, Dragons & Souths are great examples...

[@jaigundo8859]

Penrith players may be Premiership material but origin is on another level 😅

[@Kaifuluz]

Rather have 3 consecutive rings then win an origin any day

[@damonmlinaric9254]

Pffft I put multiple penrith sides they've had the past few years against that same year's origin team and it being close.

[@flurrystrads-howard5310]

What ?? On your play station??

[@UneekBruh]

Jack Wighton must cry himself to bed every night😂

[@Jimmyjim4]

Hope Raiders win the comp and I go for Roosters haha

[@JaydeJackson]

I think the eyebrows are beautiful.

[@difdaf436]

I wanna see a team focus on two things in attack…quick play the balls, surrender early to get the play the quickly… just like in touch footy.. then off loads.. those two things disrupt the defence structures sooo much!! I’m obviously an armchair critic, but i see so many tries coming from those 2 things.

[@bodycountplays2915]

Now that he mentioned it.... THEM EYEBROWS!

[@Reznor440]

Cheika is one of the worst coaches the Wallabies ever had. He persisted with his favourites game after game despite constant under performers

[@Matt.E9480]

Qld use to pick up to 12 Broncos when they were winning comps. No one said that was a bad idea. Stack the Blues with current and former Panthers.

[@Plugitinbby]

Thats what theyve done and theyve lost the last two series.

[@daleviker5884]

@@Plugitinbby But it wasn't the panthers players that dragged the team down. It was Tedesco demanding the ball twice every set and being tackled with nothing to show. And Freddy making stupid decisions like leaving Jurbo out until game 3. Or moving Cook to centre. NSW need to replace Tedesco with Edwards, and let the Penrith combinations run the show. All they did last year was pick some Penrith players and then tell them to pass to Tedesco every play.

[@TheShepdawg9]

​@@daleviker5884Cleary played like arse. There are full breakdowns online about his poor decision making in origin.

[@TheShepdawg9]

But those Broncos teams had more talent than these Panthers. 100%. All over the park. Lote and Wendell were better than To'o. Lockyer better than Edwards. Walters better than Luia. Langer and Cleary were very close, if you want to give the nod to Cleary, that's fine. Renouf better than any panther centre, Lazarus/webcke/Petero better than the panther props, Tallis better than Isaah Yeo.

[@daleviker5884]

@@TheShepdawg9 Yep, there's lots of stuff online, and most of it is written by people who are clueless. Cleary only made one mistake in Origin, which was that he should have said to Fittler before game 1 that he would run the team like he does at Penrith. Instead, Tedesco wanted to run the show because in his head it's still 2018.

[@JohnnyThe_G]

no idea why joey loves cody so much, cody literally threw the last game and caused the beginning of the end.

[@forddriver8827]

Look at his stats. Incredible natural ability.

[@daleviker5884]

I think Johns is worried about his legacy getting overshadowed by Cleary, so he keeps recommending dumb things that aren't meant to help NSW win.

[@jeffchapel79]

Zac is a good egg. Did well, despite ruining Nicho’s chances of origin 😂

[@shanehodges6980]

i need danika :(

[@onpointmetaldetecting2158]

Broncos imploded in 2020…win the first two games and then the wooden spoon

[@user-bk8mq1ji3z]

What ever Joey says the opposite usually happens. He tipped Raiders to beat Sharks last round. Thankfully Madge the coach and not John's.

[@glenwilkie5765]

Hes a dead set idiot sometimes haha

[@moscar_]

Lol so true. Bro said the raiders forwards would own the middle and dominate the forward battle 💀

[@difdaf436]

The word genius gets thrown around to lightly these days.. however, In my opinion, Andrew Johns is a genius when it comes to the game of rugby league. The greatest player to ever play the game! And I’m Queenslander… but that’s irrelevant really, he is just the greatest, yes better than Wally in my opinion.

[@difdaf436]

Just never could get into union.. the game just looks chaotic

[@tomhill1001]

I think the blues should be looking at bevan French for the 6 jersey

[@jaycee571]

You need to be looking at seeing a psychiatrist

[@TheShepdawg9]

I've posted this already in a reply. Picking majority broncos in the QLD 90s teams worked better than the current panthers/nsw attempt because the overall talent in those Brisbane teams were better. More talent everywhere, 100%. All over the park. Lote and Wendell were better than To'o. Lockyer better than Edwards. Walters better than Luia. Langer and Cleary were very close, if you want to give the nod to Cleary, that's fine. Renouf better than any panther centre, Lazarus/webcke/Petero better than the panther props, Tallis better than Isaah Yeo.

[@jaycee571]

Once Nathan is captain and teddy is gone NSW will win three in a row

[@TheShepdawg9]

@@jaycee571 ...huh? Why on earth would you assume that, especially since most of Queensland's best players are still young?

Please coach Joey

[@troymaclean4146]

Yes!! I’m a qlder but I still think Joey would make a brilliant coach! I’m all for state of origin being as good as it can be, and Joey would be the best for nsw I believe.. no one is more passionate about that blue jersey

[@stevenpeters7496]

What about 'one look' Kasey Badger to partner Cleary in the halves.

[@henryvaiotu230]

Johns still a Panther Hater😛

[@Daewonnni]

Cody over Nico. Nico is too soft for Origin. These guys who think too much aren’t for Origin. Nathan needs to harden up for Origin as well.

Coddy: poor defence and lots of mistakes.
