I’ve said for 12 months the panthers 3 most important players don’t include the 6 and 7. Tonight it’s well on show

I thought Luai was fine tonight. He is a bit in over his head talent wise IMO for origin but at least he looked interested and enthusiastic.

Cleary was awful and it isn't as if he is a good player getting a run because there is no one else. He apparently is the best half in the game and some would tell you the best player. Clearly nowhere near it and I would take Munster or DCE over him any day of the week.

This game has reinforced my hatred of ch9. That main caller thinks he's darrell eastlake, well you're not m8 and the cheerleaders masquerading as co-commentators - I'd prefer to listen to a season of matt nable calling games.

Oh and mitchell pearce had a super game in the 7 for NSW.
He wasn't as biased as some of the garbage we've heard in the past from gus.

I thought it was a bold play from Freddy to run an Origin game without halves or a hooker.

Didn't pay off

Pity the best the game has to offer has to be called by someone who is so far down the order of commentators. Nine should beg Fox to loan Warren Smith to them for the next game.

Luai was good and was hard for him trying to be the sole play maker. Tedesco was the only spine member who looked regularly dangerous though

Cook was worse then Nathan, tonight showed just how important Api is to the panthers attack in the 20
