You look at the way teams defend.

They're all forgetting how to do one-on-one tackling because all their defensive work is structural defensive work.

It's not technique defensive work.

So they all practice to stay in structure.

And New South Wales in that play stayed in structure, but they hadn't anticipated Ponga wrapping around to create the extra player.

It was such beautiful coaching.

And well done to Billy for doing it.

And New South Wales,

I'm not saying they should have been ready for it because I don't think they could have been.

But they didn't have any of their own to come back at Queensland.

And they tried to attack in structure the whole way through.

And there was nothing unorthodox or nothing that made Queensland second-guess themselves or be surprised and think, shit, how do we handle this problem?

Everything New South Wales did, Queensland had seen, and they'd seen their club footy.

And Nathan is...

What a generational great, okay?

He's not an immortal, okay?

I think that conversation is a little bit premature.

All this talk is about he's got to dominate, and after game one, everyone said he's done it.

This is what has to – this is that little 1% area of improvement he needs in his game.

He handles structure better than any player.
