I love that of all the things that really mattered, whether it's passion or.

you know, enthusiasm for the game.

Matty genuinely fears having to hear about Queensland Spirit from you for three weeks.

Yeah, seriously.

Yes, that's exactly what it looked like.

And I'm not saying it was fully reflective of his performance.

He...

He ripped in, but it just didn't look like he was at peak fitness.

Will he, Guru?

I need to see a game.

I would go McLean.

Honestly.

And again, Crit is a gun, but it's just not where he's at right now.

And it takes into context everything from club land to maybe what he's doing personally, the way he finished the last Origin.

I just think it's not a mark against his legacy, but right now it's just not the best option for us in game two.

Honestly.

Well, you know what's a funny thing in respect to the mindset there?

If you're a player who's got the world on their shoulders, pressure against you, not only week in, week out, but now coming to origin, and every single thing is going to be scrutinized, then on the other hand, you've got the underdog coming in who's got no pressure, doesn't have to prove anything, and just comes in and has the time of his life.

It's completely different energy, and I think it reflects in the way they play footy.

So underrated.
