08 :: Origin II :: QLD 30 NSW 0 @ Suncorp

[Cletus]

Was there a single offload from NSW in that game? Didn't even look like scoring a try. I feel sorry for Wallace really, Bird doesn't offer a kicking game and doesn't pass the ball enough. Time for Anasta.

 

[Big Mick]

Crocker deserves to get dumped for Origin III for butchering that try

Greg Bird real tough...pushes him in the back as he was bending over to pick up the ball...

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

Benefit of the doubt to the attacking team...if you see the ball on the line...and noone can see if it was knocked on...Its a try.

Pretty simple...

what that rule is still around ???? you wouldnt think so with a lot of the decsions these days

 

[TooheysNew]

Buderus should also be kicking more from hooker so he can take some pressure of wallace

so whats stopping him from doing it now when he teams needs it :?

He's not a kicking hooker. He never has been.

If they had picked a 5/8 from the start, the pressure wouldn't be on Wallace and there wouldn't be the same problem.

 

[MEATWAD]

Thats what you get when you don't pick someone like Bailey...and pick a softcock like Mason.

mason is a back rower you genius. nsw need props, and halves. archer qld's best tonight.

Scott Prince was the difference

no......knobhead archer was the difference......without doubt he was the toads best

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

what about Hodgson of the bench , doesnt he lead line break assists atm????

 

[pantherz9103]

Wallace has to be dropped. Bring in Mitchell Pearce to partner Anasta and we'd have a proper halves combination that is on fire at the Rorters.

NSW attack is so boring. What a pathetic display, never even took a risk.

 

[Moffo]

Yes Moffo. Another one your mood swings coming on?

I'm watching a game of football here Moff. What are you watching?

sorry, not willing to debate the issue as opposed to the person?

how unusual of you

gasnier is a f**king toad. sh*t

 

[Big Mick]

mason is a back rower you genius. nsw need props, and halves. archer qld's best tonight.

You are a genius ... I said that is what you get when you DON'T pick Bailey and DO pick Mason...suck eggs...

Thats what you get when you only pick one prop in Origin...

 

[Big Mick]

Not eligible.

 

[Biscuits]

Anasta is a must. Now time to let my bias show. We need genuine props and Perry and Kite should be considered. Some backrowers with footwork and the ability to offload would be good too. I put forward Stewart and Watmough for consideration. Gasnier cant defend, get Lyon in there. And Orford is leading the try assists this year.
I know ive gone overboard but how does a team that was the second best to a hot Melbourne team all last year and is currently leading this years comp, most tries scored, least tries conceded, most metres gained, most completions and probably one of the leading teams in offloads only get one player in Origin

 

[Downie]

How many mistakes and poor decisions did Gidley make tonight? Deadset, one of the worst Origin performances I've seen in a while.

Fitzgibbon put in and made a load of tackles and Stewart was as safe as ever, making quite a few try-savers, but that's about all the positives for NSW. Wallace was okay, but never looked like taking control of that attack which we need our halfback to do!

 

[TooheysNew]

Bird wasnt 5/8 in the 2nd half .

You're right. Gidley was. Fantastic kicking game he has too...
