I'm honestly not surprised to hear they copped a gob full re defence.

Cobbo, for all his natural talent, is still learning the game and the effort it takes to take his game beyond natural ability.

Could be that he is following them in when they jam on the sweep plays think only one should be for us its been arey and staggs
I don't mind Cobbo coming in at clubland. Staggs seems to cover it well if they get overlapped. Seems to be an effective system they have on that side. But I guess with a new team it might not work the same.

Or it could be that he’s doing all of the poor things he’s done in club land and it’s not going to work at Origin level? There’s flaws in his game and he really needs to fix them. Won’t happen with people excusing the errors, so DCE bringing it up could work well.

This withering spray never happened. DCE stopped the game and pulled the whole edge together to talk about how Dearden had put the Jets through twice and then they corrected it.

It was the first opposed session of the camp and Dearden was deliberately being Cleary.

It was 100% handled correctly by everyone. Badel has added plenty of mayo to the story.

I mean, he did win his only origin series

Sounds like it's pretty much Cobbo coming off his wing. Hopefully the spray will help, but does not shut down his intercepts.

Could also be a difference in playing style, we typically defend with the winger coming out early then have the cover defence coming in from behind if they pass the jam(typically the backrower and fullback).

That can be hard to teach another team how to do that, just like it can be hard to unlearn that for a different sliding defence strategy.

Hannay is the defence for Queensland and he was involved in correcting the issue.

Colour me shocked.

Poor Timmy having to pretend to be Cleary though. Bet he needed a long, hot shower after that.

Latest from Badel is that Selwyn came in too far from his Third Man spot in the traditional game day cricket match and DCE actually pinned him to the ground and punched him in the face for five straight minutes.
