There were no game breakers in nsw like Valentine Holmes or Harry Grant. They lost the star power of Troboevic after three minutes, he could have made a diffference at critical times that could easily have made it much tighter. I think I heard some criticism about putting a specialist hooker at centre swapping players around after losing Troboevic. DCE played well. His long run and tackle on a runaway nsw centre was a great rugby league moment. Troboevic body is under engineered for his size I think. It puts more strain on critical parts of it than does the shape of your average player. It is like a suspension bridge that has to carry just a bit too much stress for its engineering. It is prone to failure and collapse.
