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

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

i miss griffin's tour de force expert commentary on fox

 

[Diesel]

100% completion by QLD is impressive

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.

He was absolute dogshit the first 6 years of his career. Maybe normal order has resumed?

Lozza's notebook

Game 1 2026 - drop Hudson Young.

If his commentary is anything to go by he will be telling them to “use the football”

 

[moffla]

Bellamy is the coach here. NSW worst ever

Is he? He coaches club football and went in to camp like 3 days ago

 

[Artiste]

I could not give a flying "F" who you pick at fullback, just don't ever pick this imbecile edwards again.
An absolute dud at rep level and even at club level been ordinary this year.
I don't care what he does in the 2nd half, he has not been close to deserving to play SOO, what a waste of space

Said this all along, he’s a dud

 

[aqua_duck]

Cleary is a great club half back but in my mind where Moses is superior is that Moses performs better in chaos and plays what’s in front of him a lot more. Cleary is so methodical and abit of a perfectionist in many regards that he’s struggling to adapt to what’s happening around him both in regards to Qld’s line speed and the general execution.
Compare how Cleary is playing to Munster and it’s literally night and day, Munster is keeping the defence guessing, playing what’s in front of him and being an absolute menace out there. Cleary is going through the motions and not executing

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Ethan Strange and Kaeo Weekes should be playing for NSW tonight.

 

[simmo05]

There is stef the plodders 1 run of the half

 

[Diesel]

What a hit up

 

[simmo05]

If his commentary is anything to go by he will be telling them to “use the football”

And 'we have to be the next to score'

 

[SBD82]

NSW look like they punched about 50 cones at half time. Everything is in slow motion.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

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

Robson has been decent so far. I'd go Api too but they're not getting flogged because of Robson mate. The 3/4 line alone is elite and proven at this level. It's far from a terrible side but there's a lot of good players playing terribly. Absolutely deserve a hiding.

 

[Pound Cake]

It was all over when Barnett went down.

 

[aqua_duck]

Amazing considering how many of them play(ed) in the same Penrith team.

I think there in lies half the issue. That Penrith combo is like a finely tuned performance car and has become so methodical and well oiled that the engine doesn’t run if there’s even one part that’s a little loose or if the road is abit bumpy.

 

[Bazal]

He was absolute dogshit the first 6 years of his career. Maybe normal order has resumed?

He's killing it for Parra still.

I can only assume Loz has bored him half into a coma like the rest of them.

In all seriousness though he's a winger. Probably the hardest position to make a game changing impact from in a side playing shit. To'o has been pretty anonymous too and he's the second best winger of the NRL era. Lolmax just has the derp moments on top

 

[edabomb]

Nathan Cleary's kicking game is on AI mode.

 

[macavity]

At least the knights can kind of defend.

lots of practice

 

[Bazal]

Robson has been decent so far. I'd go Api too but they're not getting flogged because of Robson mate. The 3/4 line alone is elite and proven at this level. It's far from a terrible side but there's a lot of good players playing terribly. Absolutely deserve a hiding.

Robson has been the second worst on ground this game?

His attack is absolutely pedestrian, he's a huge part of the reason the epic 3/4 line isn't firing.

which is strange cause he played the most brilliant chaotic 20-30 min in a grand final ever in 2023
