There’s a lot being said about the NSW Blues tactics, but I’m sure I saw one of my favourite players, Jonathan Thurston lay the slipper into Wolfman Williams. But after it’s all done and dusted, what about the complete snub by Lockyer of the entire Blues team and their contribution to the series?

What did Waterhouse deserve?? Nothing according to the cool heads of the judiciary, and I agree.
