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

[Chins]

A real halfback, 5/8 and fullback might be a good idea too

Luai was trash and Dyl is Dyl. Not great but shits on the alternatives

 

[Bazal]

I'd put Yeo in the same boat. The two of them have been absolutely dominant in club land, have built the Penrith empire... but plod along when it comes to rep footy.

Then you have guys like Mitch Moses and Cam Murray, who have been great but not as dominant in club footy, come along, step up and dominate rep matches.

Murray was a huge out, he's been injured so long my half cut brain forgot him tbh.

 

[MRN]

I have to give props to Harry Grant. I was calling for him to be dropped for game 3 last year, for game 1 and 2 this year. He had a great (first half) game 2 and really showed up tonight too. Probably his best all round effort tonight in an age.

 

[Chins]

Disagree, I'd lean towards Egan if I had to pick someone right now.

Like him but a stiff breeze knocks him out once a month

 

[Belza1]

This pic is amazing because you can simultaneously see what Aaron Woods looked like with hair, and what he will look like bald

Definitely not a pretty boy with or without hair.

 

[King hit]

50% of the times NSW have blown a 1-0 series lead in Origin history have occurred under Laurie Daley coached sides.

Let that sink in…

Everybody thinks Fittler is a complete imbecile but he never lost a series like that. The way he completely reversed that debacle of 2017 immediately should always be commended. He deserves more respect these days imo

 

[yobbo84]

Clearly and Moses def deserve game 1 next year. I’d probably change the 1 & 9 though. Katoa should be next cab off the rank in the halves if we lose next year.

1. Papenhuyzen
6. Moses
7. Katoa
9. Koroisau

Can we please debunk the myth that says Nathan Cleary's a superstar worthy of equalling or bettering the likes of Andrew Johns? Cleary goes hiding as soon as he's not wearing a Panthers jersey. Maybe not hiding, but just keeps playing his style of footy, and doesn't rise. Unless it's for Penrith.

 

[Bazal]

Api is arguably the best hooker in the game tbh. Egan is decent but he's the new Tampon Trent Barrett

I don't think he is ..I'm convinced he is an imbecile

 

[WaznTheGreat]

New Plod Wales going to struggle without Mitchell Moses

Wazn 1
New Bald Wales 0

Was he playing tonight

 

[PARRA_FAN]

I wont be blaming a single player tonight for NSW although there were some bad ones. Its just clear as day we need a coach strong enough to pick on form and stronge enough to play the right type of footy. Unfortunately NSW didn't have that. Daley promised to follow the blueprint and he didn't.

What gets me is that they picked him because they said he was more mature and learned from his mistakes. Did he though? It was the same old same old from when he was in charge last time. Completely blew it. He's only won 1 series in what is now 6 series. Worst record ever.

Did the NSWRL board think anyone would be good as a coach because of the players?

Get a fresh face in, get some new blood, make them more passionate to play for the Blues.

 

[mozza91]

As much as I criticised his selection Stefano was our best forward. Storm should definitely rest him this weekend.

Attacking wise yes but I dont think his style works at origin level and I'd rather reward guys who are actually playing well and winning at club level.

 

[MRN]

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.

Amber Heard like effort ay?

Api is definitely playing well this year. It's not his fault he's at the Tigers...well, I mean, I suppose it is actually.

 

[Chins]

Latrell probably cost NSW 14 points tonight with bad reads and just dumbmerkinery

 

[Sans Souci Saint]

Serious question.

Did that merkin Cleary actually runout there tonight or not?

Gould's face.
That is all
