They put more pressure on the Queensland defence, direct over the ad line with close support and people around the football while they've got momentum and they're on the back foot.

Because as soon as you just want to shift sideways and give the opportunity for the defence to catch up,

Defenders will make one-on-one at that level and that's more of an issue than personnel for me right now.

The weekend we picked, whoever gets through, gets through, they pick a team.

But it's important they knuckle down on the stall which they play and want to break down this Queensland defence because at the moment, Harry Grant, Munster, Sam Walker, Ponga, they're giving New South Wales a lesson in playing at that level.

There was no misses.

Nathan didn't miss any either.

It was an incredible display of kicking.

And it's important too, going up by sixes, just psychologically, him kicking all those goals just made it a little bit harder for New South Wales.

If he misses a couple, they go, okay, maybe we're still in the game and then momentum may shift and New South Wales get that hit of energy.

But Queensland were clinical.

They were so good.

Yeah, I think to run deep into the finals, play finals, how far they advance in the finals, I don't think they're quite there in their journey yet.

They've had a great season, having to deal with players coming and going, injuries.

It's hard to manage.

Again, they're doing it all.

A lot of those guys, not for the first time in the narrow, but contending for the first time getting into the finals, Dewey, I think, adds so much.

In terms of...

Not just the player he is, but the confidence he gives to that team.

And we talk about competitors across the NRL.
