Origin is dead,its been getting less intense by the year,pearce putting his arm around Smith n having a laugh at half time in game 1 never would have happened in years past,Fifita ran like a tele tubby,Brooks flat-out then slows at the defensive line and Pearce never takes the line on,at least Reynolds has some mongrel in him and Id also have Ennis in the side for mega mongrel attitude-Bring back the Biff
The slowing down of the play the ball is crueling Rugby League and this is more evident in Origin. Defensive line gets a breather and the game just isn't opening up.
The NRL said they would clamp down last season but it hasn't happened. Not sure why they aren't policing this.
Not too many great tries anymore (think Mark Coyne 94 or 92 ?).
