Yeah.

It's one of those ones like I think everyone across the board, I don't think anyone disagreed that Cam Murray probably should have been starting.

I thought –

I thought it was a bit of ducks and drapes from Laurie, to be honest, leading into that game.

I thought when the team list come out and he still wasn't starting right up till what, an hour or hour and a half before the game, I was pretty shocked.

I did think that Cam needed to be starting.

Yeah, personally for me, the main one was with Murray.

There was a stage there when Fenua Blake went on where it felt like what the game needed was New South Wales needed more creativity.

They needed... Appy.

They needed Appy.

I personally thought the reason Strange went on later was probably because we...

we blew it with Appie.

Like it was too late by that point.

Like it was probably Robson's game by that point.

I feel like he had a real opportunity there for probably 10 minutes before halftime to get on the field and then have that chunk in the middle of the game.

I thought he could have offered us a bit more.

That was our opportunity there.

I'm not sure what the plan was, but I set it probably a month out that

no matter who our starting hooker was, I always had Appy at least on the bench and he was going to have that sort of period.

That was his sort of role.
