2020 Origin III - QLD 20-14 NSW @ Suncorp

[stryker]

I think the blues kryptonite is having too many players to pick from sometimes as well as complacency

Yep and instead of picking the best available in their positions they pick the top 20 or so available meaning they field teams full of fullbacks, 5/8ths and backrowers.

This was the blues problem during there glory years, most of the time for them just picking the best players and finding a spot in the 13 worked for them but every now and then they just wouldn't gel and we'd snag a series here or there, Qld really shouldn't have won a series during the 90's

Tupou getting way too much of a free pass. One of the worst on the field in game 1 and gave QLD their winning try. Great game 2. Ordinary tonight and had a terrible handling error for qlds second try. You expect an origin winger to clean up munsters 2nd kick.

 

[lockyno1]

I agree. But Freddy didn't. Maybe Bellamy should have used him thus during the season in order to assist his development.

Yeah but Freddy actually thinks Gutherson is a centre...not a great judge!

 

[Vic Mackey]

Also Frizzell, man what an absolute dud all 3 games. How did he get a free pass after being horrible all year and series, yet Klemmer and Graham got ditched?

 

[The_Frog]

Nsw lost to an attack worse than the dogs then yeah?

The Dogs could win a lot of games with 57% of possession.

Lost the Dally M, lost the Premiership, lost the Origin series = Loser and he is a liar like his f**kwit father...great year son.

f**ks 5 bitches on tik tok.
Gets top 3 on Dally m.
Plays in a grand final in a side not rated to be top 8
Is nsw best player in games 2 and 3
Cashes $1m a season paycheck despite nobody rating him whatsoever

Nailed it, you had 2 centres in Crichton and Lomax who both had great seasons but you pick a fullback and 5/8th in the centres, you had a number of good front rowers who have proven themselves in origin but instead you pick 4 lock forwards.

yep.
DWZ shed a tear he was that proud of holmes efforts.

 

[THE CHAMP]

I swear NSW only know how to cheat and can’t play

Great post

 

[shear_joy9]

Next year they need to move both Cordner and Frizell on, either Wighton play five eight or not at all. Him and Gutherson just lack the size and strength to be effective at centre. They need to pick a utility on the bench.

lol.
Size and strength is the last thing they lack. Playing and training the entire season in completely different positions is what made them look so average.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Munster could have just played the ball there. Because he dicks around he gets a penalty.

Classic Sutton mafia referee quality.

Lol some more awesome stuff here

 

[THE CHAMP]

How is that a QLD penalty? Blues up against it here...

I’m currently in a great section of this thread

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Cheers Gal. Selfish prick, put the promotion of his fight before the blues by goading the maroons.

Has to be a walking headline constantly.

Give us a spell

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

For a bloke who got 3 Dally M points week in and week out Wighton was quite useless tonight. Frizell likewise. Haas not much better although he did appear to do some tackling. Too many players picked on reputation.

By the way, I wouldn't be so quich to call for Latrell's return solely on the grounds of others going bad.

Haas is still 20 and needs time, it was stupid of Freddie to pick 3 players inexperienced SOO players in the front row, especially with 2 of them being so young.

Wighton just can’t play centre effectively. He’s not fast or strong enough. I would have had Latrell back this year without any question if he was available, he’s a player that you can pass the ball and you know he’s almost always going to beat the 1st tackler if it’s 1 v 1. How many other players provide that sort of strike power?

I did suggest James Tamou, but was howled down. Also RCG didn't get a run. I'm thinking what NSW needs is a real coach. One who can compete with Bennett.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Edrick Lee scored in an Origin game.

Let's let that sink in.

He was superb tonight
A well deserved try

 

[THE CHAMP]

Blatant knock on

Another bewdy
