[stryker]

Yeah he’s a great player well said

Bloody legend

 

[This Year?]

Grant and Sami on their phones trolling on LU.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Too bad no one will watch him because the sport sucks donkeys balls.

Suli will be playing soon to grub it up

 

[GongPanther]

Congratulations NSW, you just lost to the worst Maroons team ever assembled, in the considered opinion of Peptide Paul XD

2020 REDEMPTION STORY!

Gallen must have mushrooms for brains in waving a red sheet in front of a bull. Why oh way give Qld something to fixate on?

 

[billygilmore]

Blues needed Pierce out there tonight, just like last year

Big dick Edrick

They say the bigger the dick, the less blood remains to run the brain.

To think Edrick Lee was the best winger on the field tonight lol

Games like tonight remind me of why I love and despise Origin at the same time. I love it because you get to see the best players in the game come together as two seperate units and playing all-in footy for 80 minutes. The contest is (generally) on another level.

Yet I despise it because (despite my avatar) I consider myself a a footy purist first and foremost. When it comes to Origin I'd rather see both teams left to play their best and let the result fall as it may. If we get a close game/ series- great. If one side gets whitewashed, so be it. Origin should be a 'test' of the current players available from NSW/ Qld and what they can do over 3 games. Yet time and time again, it all becomes so contrived. This series was no different-

You have these narratives that have existed since day 1- of the Maroons apparently not being a chance. Of Origin nights at Lang Park/ Suncorp. Passion, spirit, never giving up, close finishes etc etc. Unfortunately it feels increasingly like The Narrative has taken priority over the actual football itself. Again tonight we saw little consistency from Sutton and how he officiated the game, and the cynic in me feels like the NRL/ 9 got exactly the game and the result they wanted. Another Decider (TM) that comes down to the dying seconds and won by the home team by 6 points. I hate to sound like Gus, but I'm sure I called it exactly as this earlier in the thread?

All being equal, maybe this series would still have gone the same way. But all wasn't equal. I can take losing, but it's those inconsistencies that leave you talking about the game for the wrong reasons, those 'what ifs' that annoy the f**k out of me. I'm glad the season is over, it's felt like it's gone on for ages and yeah I'm annoyed about a number of things coming away from this game tonight. At the same time, I know I'll be back 6 months from now in 2021 hoping NSW can prove a point...

The gap between a Kaufusi and a Jack Hetherington is like a cigarette paper. Anyway I'm happy for Qld to win the series. In fact I predicted it. They did play very well tonight. Here in NSW we care about the good of the game and we understand that NSW winning year in and year out is bad for the bottom line.

Who is Jack Hetherington?

NSW only won last year because Cleary injured himself before game 3!

To think Edrick Lee was the best winger on the field tonight lol

Haha wonders will never cease. That would have been unbackable odds.

 

[The_Frog]

Who is Jack Hetherington?

Some Wests Tigers player who'll play 3 games next year between suspensions.

 

[Jackie Treehorn]

Also, I dont think Cook should have been picked. He has been off all year except one or two games

His service was ordinary all series

Seems like a nice guy and all but is a touch overrated for mine. If he’s not getting dummy half scoots off the back of quick play the balls there doesn’t seem to be much else doing.

He wasn't though. JAC was outstanding in a losing side.

JAC also should've been responsible for levelling the game up...

Tend to agree with this. There’s a few downhill skiers in our camp too

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

I'm a dragons and NSW fan.

It doesn't get much worse than this.

Or so I thought...

You could be me, who follow the same. Currently In South Australia..
And also follow the Cincinnati Bengals..

You’ve got it good!

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Can anyone blame the NSW forwards? Master coach left out:

1. David Klemmer
2. Paul Vaughan
3. Wade Graham

3 proven big game performers who have served NSW brilliantly in the last few years. NSW lacked penetration in the forwards, something Vaughan and most definitely Klemmer would have given. They lacked direction and leadership, how useful would Graham have been?

He left them out on the basis of their club form whilst picking his boy Cordner. He swung the axe so unnecessarily and if he doesn’t resign, the NSW management need to do the same with him.

That was a disgrace, there’s no way to put it, he needs to go.

Performs in the big games. The Panthers players should’ve been taking notes.

 

[some11]

seeing that f**king fraud celebrate something after stealing 1.25 million dollars from my club a season makes me want to projectile vomit.

Broncos, Dragons and QLD fans.

Together in harmony bagging hunt.
