2022 Origin I - Wed 8 Jun - NSW 10-16 QLD @ Accor

[Bazal]

The Crichton selection f**king sucked balls.
That should have been Hynes’ spot.

Offered less than nothing. The penalty was bullshit, but otherwise he was useless.

Not his fault though. He's a centre on the bench thrown on when the side is on the back foot.

 

[skeepe]

It’s disappointing not so much because NSW lost but because the Panther connection didn’t fire and Yeo looked winded. I couldn’t really give a toss about State of Origin other than that. I honestly wish fewer Panthers were selected because all this circus and the potential injuries that come from it will do now is derail our hopes of winning back to back titles. It’s really quite embarrassing that a sports show piece is a state v state game rather than an international anyway.

 

[Perth Red]

Think he’s in the maroons camp with smith etc

Wondered if he had covid as haven’t seen any shots of him?

[Perth Red]

Lol langer falling in the esky!

 

[Valheru]

I'm salty? I've been talking shit about Cook all throughout this thread. I want NSW to win not suck the dicks of my team's players like yourself

221 metres, 81 post contact, 8 tackle breaks, 1 line break.

What more did you want him to do?

If you can't see he was in NSW top 3 I can't help you.

The pumpkin probably has a better Origin winning record too.

“Cheer up you’re still alive” to sims lol. I think he meant the series. Classic Gal

100 of those metres were running sideways

You don't play over 300 games and be a premiership winning captain if you're rubbish tbf.

 

[Valheru]

You put Api, fatrell and JAC in that side they probably win. But you have to admire QLD and their Tenacity in the Middle and defence.

Agree with latrell, I woukd bring him back ASAP.

Api om not sold on but could be worth a go.

What do you believe JAC would have done in that game that would have changed the result? Genuinely curious.

 

[pantherz9103]

Ah yes the old I don’t care about SOO… unless NSW wins

Even when NSW won last year we lost Cleary for several weeks and then it took a titanic defensive effort for us to win the comp while playing with an injured halfback. If NSW lose the series but we get no Panther injuries then that’s not such a bad outcome.

 

[blaza88z]

I won't be too critical of Gallen there, that shed had the vibe of a funeral

That's not how the run metre stat works mate.

One of many head scratching selections there. Freddy has been made look decent by some players in amazing form

As I said, busy but it's not contributing to the result. You can't tell me he is as effective as he was a few years back

You shouldn’t.

And yet...

Tedesco got exposed tonight without Latrell and turbo

he really can be a plodder a lot of the times.

covid aside nsw need latrell back asap
