State Of Origin 2018

[Meth]

Filter wants to break away from a losing NSW culture- hence, no Dugan and Fergusson.

I am close to there now- for a combination of reasons- Queensland’s dominance and the effect on the international game.

Mine's a bit different - time zone (no way I can be f**ked being up until 1am on a work night with kids who can wake at any time) and the fact it dilutes and kinda shits on the main product of the NRL. I used to absolutely love it and I don't think the dominance concerned me, I enjoy a good dynasty (and it's not like NSW don't go close most years). And I don't give a monkey's toss about international league either so I differ there.

Find it weird Qld is paying $3 to win.

Wonder how this is going to be refereed????

Find it weird Qld is paying $3 to win.

I might look stupid having said this in a couple of hours, but it is such good value, honestly. I've put a sneaky on them at that price...

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Seemed to have longer in the ruck.
Qld in top early.
First penalty goes their way.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Munster with an old school shepard.
Let's NSW off the hook.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Ref for in the way there. Giving NSW a dropout and Qld a try saver.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

NSW taking the 2 points after Napa takes a nap in the ruck in front of the post.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Chambers puts down a sitter.
Created space, try line open.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Cook shots out of dummy half, draws in defense and gives Maloney a hole then Tedesco on the inside.
8-0
McGuire caught out. Match fitness???

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Valentine puts it down on halfway.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Inglis a mile offside and penalised.
Nailed Tommy though.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Valentine Holmes picks off an intercept 90m try.
Maloney handed it to him on a plate.
8-6

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Chambers nice kick that looked to big but bounce of ball makes Tedezco play at it foe a dropout.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Lucky call for Blues, dropout overturned, Gagai touch after Ado-Car knocks it dead.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

So 2 penalties all half?
Not being refereed like NRL.
Cleary would of been pinged in final min of half if it was.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Gagai scores off a Hunt kick perfectly weighted.
Maloney Forward pass gave Qld the chance.
But thought there was a forward pass by QLD in the set.
8-12

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Gagai drops it cold in Qld 20m

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Mitchell looks to have scored.
Cordner got Hunt interested.
Gagai kicking himself now.
12-12

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Tommy scores.
Couple of interesting points.
Did Munster touch as it bobbled.
Was it a double movement as Munster touching him as ball promoted forward?
Looked to be momentum.
18-12
