Greg - 6.5 - weirdly arse under the high ball, some nice touches in attack
Little man - 7 - solid runs as per usual, did get binned.
Fatrell - 4 - worst on ground apart from his nice catch and pass for little man’s try.
Critter - 8 - good boi
Man formerly pegged by Sergis - 8.5 - couple of mistakes, nice work out of own end, good finishing, used retread strength for good for final try.
Holy Moses 8 - couple of bad kicks, took line on well, one of our best in first half. Should’ve been goalkicker
Gigantic Chin - 6 - first half arse, kicking game arse, overplayed hand in second half but couple of his touches paid off
Haas - 8.5 goodboi
Robson - 7 - decent
Tramp Stamp - 8.5 - great opening stanza, we lost momentum when he and Haas went off, best work done off the ball.
4 fingers - 8 - solid runs particularly in first half
Martin - 5 - professional kick chaser, got owned by a fullback with a girls name, embarrassing
Mongo strength lock - 7 - good first half, hard runs and a couple of nice moments of footwork getting over the advantage line.

Max who? - 7 - solid, needs a fancy haircut or something
Hudson Dumb - 6.5 - so good but so bad but so enigma
Racist QLD triggererer - 6 - didn’t do much and pretty invisible, which is also a good thing.
Pornstar - 6.5 - not on long, good strength for try assist, dropped easy half break.

Probably the worst standard origin Game I’ve seen. Have watched better 6pm Friday games.

NSW clunky attack and terrible attacking structure coaching kept qld in it.

Theres more then a couple of qlders who look like origin has passed them by.
Everyone loves hanging shit on Latrell, but that second try was sublime.

I thought the game was entertaining. I thought Klein was surprisingly good and fair. So many times that QLD forward pass just gets allowed.

QLD were f**ken shit and terrible discipline and they got called on it and f**ken lost.

Good game!

Are NSW going to be screening the replay back at the team hotel on Latrell's underwear as per tradition?

Where was long neck DCE?

Has a bit of Thursto about him. He is doing a bit better but father time might f**k the next club who signs him. Looking slow and lost.
I thought he started well but went downhill very quickly.

Genuinely who do qld go to to improve their side? Gilbert and Flegler are huge losses. Fifita injured/uninterested. Walsh isn’t better then Ponga

Backs: Gagai, Cobbo, Arthurs, Bula, AKP?
Forwards: Horsbourgh, Finefeuiaki, Plath (injured), Capewell, Mann?
Spine: Walsh, Bula, Hunt, Dearden, Mam

Surely Horsbourgh first change for the bench, move Cotter to the middle, Fermor or Capewell edge. Dearden starts or not at all, Mann better bench option.

Cobbo in, anywhere. Holmes origin days look numbered. I’d be tempted to bring Gagai in, he brings the ball out better than anyone else in their backline.

Tino was the only of them that was on our level and really had a go, NSW never had to hit top gear. Pretty boring, Trell getting embarrassed then trying to take off someone's head for the next 20mins was the most entertaining it got.

If everyone listens carefully, you can still hear Matthew Thompson saying "the Queensland crowd will come alive here if they can score" or "is the Queensland comeback on here?"

He said it every 40 seconds for half an hour in the game so I figure he might still be going. Or is it just like one of those annoying songs that get stuck in your head.

God I can't wait until Kayo gets Origin. (No Ennis or Parker and we're sweet)

Coates in for Holmes would be a huge difference. Holmes’ highball defence got qld into so much trouble throughout the game.

He's probably got producers in his ear telling him to make the game seem interesting so we don't all switch off en masse.

We could definitely use less Joey and Cam Smith though. Both unable to hide their bias. Joey is at least mildly entertaining when his team is getting toweled up, because he shuts down and only opens his mouth to grumble.
