2025 Origin 3 - Wed 9 Jul - NSW 12-24 QLD @ Accor

[85 Baby]

Lex Luthor is bald enough to coach NSW

 

[dogz08]

Also Edwards is so past it!!

 

[skeepe]

No, theyve had plenty of chance in the first 20. He and Luai were horrendous. Luai mainly, the issue with Cleary is that he doesn’t seem to have a plan B

Agreed. When the game was still a bit of a grind, NSW had the territory advantage. The kicking has been absolutely shocking from both halves. They were in position to put up attacking kicks but the receiver was never under pressure even once.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Its an ambush but how? That shouldn't happen at this level, particularly when QLD are renowned for doing it. Its just one team who ways to win and another who wants to do it easy.

Lozza sucks and a couple of his selections are duds but let's be real, the gulf in "on paper" talent is huge. He hasn't picked a terrible side, it's just a rather soft bunch of players who believe their own hype. Deserve a flogging.

 

[Munky]

NSW need a hard edge coach. Not some guy who was too polite to tell Gus to get out of his seat.

NSW need a coach.

Madge butchered game one selections last year and immediately fixed it come game two.

Daley has NFI.

 

[Perth Red]

Loz is looking relaxed, he knows something.

 

[85 Baby]

this is like missionary sex, but without the sex and no foreplay

This is like missionary sex when you’re the altar boy

 

[This Year?]

Just to think. 3 weeks and 1 hour ago I was frothing for a clean sweep.
Then whatever the f**k this is now is happening.

 

[Nealo 12]

Prediction,
ref to bring nsw back into the game.

And to fall short again

 

[speedster]

He's been great this year, full of effort, covering kicks, running hard, etc. Which is truly laughable timing, but it is what it is.

The narrative is locked in.

 

[yobbo84]

TBH the whole NSW team is playing like they were given a pre match speech from Anthony Griffin

 

[Woody90]

QLD literally have 2 rookie centres and our dumbass halves barely give Crichton or Latrell any early ball.

 

[Diesel]

NSW need a coach.

Madge butchered game one selections last year and immediately fixed it come game two.

Daley has NFI.

But Daley has Gus, Joey and Bellamy on call. Perhaps, NDW just don’t get origin

 

[Wests is Best]

Ok Qld are too good. And Can we ditch the concept now? Bring back the national Panasonic cup

 

[Marshall_magic]

Fittler wasn’t able to get the team delivering regularly. Madge came in and got it done. Should have gone for another Madge. Daley has the charisma of Joe Biden.

 

[Chins]

Why did they stop going to Critta?

He was making Shiba look like a park footy player at the start of the half.

He is a park level player

 

[Vic Mackey]

No idea what’s happened to Lomax, the guy was like Eric Grothe snr, jarryd hayne and Brett morris combined his first 4 origins. The last 2 he’s been Steve Turner and David Williams.

Tbh he has picked an absolutely terrible side though? Weird take.

Robson over Api
Max King over any other NSW middle forward
The entire bench

 

[lsta5838]

Well done qld. Came with energy and working hard for their team mates. Surly pushing klown for leaving early and being 9m back but klown turns a blind eye. Qld took their quater chances and the ones we got to assert pressure we fluff it.. e.g luai and Mitchell kicks and not wrapping up the ball after almost taking toia into touch. Just hope nsw fire up a bit and put some pride back into the jersey this 2nd half. Two atrocious half's this series. Not sure if Daley the problem, if you play at origin level, motivation shouldn't be something you need the coach for

This. Why wouldn't you go at the debutant, who as great as he's been this year, is green as hell in terms of meaningful experience in big games or against quality opponents?
