If he isn't performing at SoO, it's a coaching issue

Agreed. Even when they change coaches. It couldn’t possibly be Nafe’s fault.

QLD get within 20 points and they'll give merkinster the player of the series.

He doesn't even have to play. I Remember one year they gave it to a guy who played only two games AND for the team who lost the series.

Who was that again?

Billy the Grub

 

[Stinkfinger]

Flip a coin. Who is he going to screw over?

It hasn't yet reached the point where Origin is dead if Queensland lose, so unless Klein gets an attack of Insignificant Little Man Syndrome, I'm thinking he lets the players decide this one.

I’ve never seen a decision (apart from Kent getting his head kicked in) that united the fans as much as that. Even all the maroons fans in my life hated it. One even said he would fully support Fittler publicly raging at them.

How many consecutive series losses for Qld would it take would it take for Origin to die?

Then there was the ridiculous let-off for the shoulder charge in the prelim against the Sharks so Billy could get his GF send-off.

And what a send off it was, with him spitting the dummy at the ref along the way...

What a great night that was. Seeing Mitchell continuing his one man crusade against Chambers along with Slater copping it from the crowd was a delight.

Two seems to be the limit. Back in the 90s it was looking pretty flaky until Qld won under Fatty.

NSW could’ve possibly won 7 straight in the 90’s if it wasn’t for super league 95 and mass injuries before the 98 decider.

That's a question only Fatty Vautin can answer.

 

[Captain Apollo]

About on par with Joey who is the best 7 of all time.....

For comparison, Andrew Johns' record -

Joey is the best 7 I've seen but Nathan has already had a better career. Cleary simply wasn't born with the same natural ability.

To put it another way Nathan Cleary is a much better Cooper Cronk.

should of won game 1 in 98, Daley tore QLD to shreds in the first half but Joey couldn't kick conversions

 

[Sime_11]

if Cleary has a blinder tonight - say a 23 GF comeback like performance - does that shut up the naysayers or will they still find something to pick on him about?

He couldn't do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke...

This decider could do with more Galvin promos

 

[mozza91]

Blues should win comfortably especially if Klein keeps his nude nut out of it. We’ve got way better middles, a better kicking game and we should target their reserve grade centres non stop.

Would be an all time 1995/2020 esqe bedshit if we don’t get up.
