Well, not very, but pretty fresh from the game.
Now, just in regards to the reffing, I put up a video on my story yesterday, I think it was.
And usually I don't, you know, I don't want to be too negative.
So I try not to like speak about, you know, the reffing or whatever, but basically it was Adam Elliott's tackle on Tamalolo.
He pushes him back, gets him on his back, then gets a six again against him, even though he won the tackle.
And also Tamalolo was holding his shirt.
But I'm okay to like, let's say he didn't win the tackle and Tamalolo was holding his shirt and a six again was given away.
I'm okay to give the referee the grace of he didn't see the hand holding him down.
I just think that that's such a good example, a small 10-second example of how far from the spirit of rugby league we've come where a ref can watch a dominant tackle happen, Guy Tamalola gets put on his back, and he gives a six again away.
And when I say dominant tackle, I'm saying he got driven back like three meters and put on his back.
And that's my concern heading into this game is like, is it truly going to be like touch footy?
Like, because that we're going to get to a point, and this is where I think the starting side of the Queensland really helps is we may get to a point where Billy is telling his back row and even his front row, don't even worry about wrestle.
Your job is as soon as you hear held,
Don't sit there and, you know, put your hands all through it because it feels like the game's getting to a point where there is zero wrestle, like zero holding down, zero putting your hands in and slowing everything down.
And sorry, there's zero reward for dominant and big hits.
