2019 Origin I - QLD 18-14 NSW @ Suncorp

[Vic Mackey]

Did Klemmer cop an injury? Kinda coulda used him out there in the 2nd half... lol.

Freddy’s use of the bench has always been terrible

Imagine there was a NSW half who was in form, a top goalkicker, the best general play kicker in the game, and had a good combination with the 9 and 6. That'd be good.

 

[BranVan3000]

Lol, i knew souffs mongs would bring up his garbage time try assist after being invisible for 75 minutes

Could have been more involved early

But we also probably win the game if Latrell doesn’t get himself sent and Wighton doesn’t throw a howler dubbing for Walker

 

[Nerd]

Queenslanderrrrrrr. What a great game. To be honest with the amount of no tries the scored flattered the Blues.

Jack Wighton

So what did we learn ?
Cotric is Serbian
Cleary isn’t up to this at the moment
Maguire has a rough head
Mitchell isn’t fit
Hunt still sucks
Tedesco is unreal but a little bit of hog
Gagai is amazing in origin
Lucky is wearing a rat on his head for hair

The problem is when we needed metres coming off of our own line we had all the 'mobile/agile' forwards out there and we were getting belted.
The way we use our edge backrowers is confusing, Frizzell plays about 20 mins on the edge then Crighton comes on then Frizell comes back on in the second half as a middle, serves no purpose. If the edge backrowers can't play 80 then they don't get picked simple.
Bench for game 2 should be:
14.Not Wighton
15.Murray
16.Haas
17.McLean

Yep any roosters fan worth their salt will tell you Crichton had no business being picked. He’s been a dud for us, and he was a dud for NSW.

I personally would try to find someone other than Haas for the bench. Overrated in the extreme

What happened to Klemmer? 120m after 20 minutes, only 30m for the rest of the game.

Papalii was immense, best forward on the field after Klemmer. Made for Origin.

Wighton was good overall, luckily for him it wasn’t his intercept but the Tedesco drop that was the difference in the end.

Solid game for Cotric, came looking for the ball and didn’t get caught out in defence. Let down by Morris rushing in or arm grabbing a few times, not his fault.

Overall, all the Raiders played very well. Happy with that.

Honestly, what did happen to Klemmer?
He must've been injured, Freddy isn't that stupid

 

[blaza88z]

Good first half. Very ordinary second.

Agree, he needs to be replaced by Dylan Edwards

They didn't even deserve their only try. Tedesco was offside and the bunker ref is a moron.

 

[GreenMachine121]

I thought you didn't care about Origin this year:



Or is that only when the score was 8-0

He is basically the biggest knob jockey here

To be fair Latrell saw it was Simple Jack in support and assumed he’d drop it

 

[perverse]

That was my thinking too. Seems too ridiculous to think it was just bad substitution.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Freddy’s use of the bench has always been terrible

Was off with the fairies and probably forgot he picked him in the team.

 

[lockyno1]

Freddy’s use of the bench has always been terrible

True he put Crichton and Jack on the field

Murray should have started too

He was just warming up for the real game on Friday

 

[Perth Red]

Great game, thought score well flattered nsw. If Q’land had took their chances it could have been very comfortable. Nsw need Klemmer to play 80mins, they looked sht without him on field.

Good chance it will be stormy and raining in Perth so that could make it interesting.

 

[BranVan3000]

None, however the type of player he is he needs to go looking for the ball as he creates something out of nothing, as seen on the last try

Agreed. I expected it in the second half, but we didn’t get out of our half for 25 minutes and then he got subbed for some reason. Made something happen as soon as we got into an attacking zone

Looks like we are ready to stamp his papers for Cleary to keep playing though.

 

[Tommy Smith]

You can all laugh at me but I reckon Mitchell Moses would go well in the NSW no.7.

If nothing else he's a very dangerous attacking halfback. He is always a threat taking on the line and can ball play.

Cleary can't do either.

I just feel way too much pressure is placed on Teddy and Cook in carrying a halfback who is picked purely to, ummm, tackle?

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

He is basically the biggest knob jockey here

I wonder if Jack is hurting in the sheds right now
