09 :: Origin I :: Wed 3 Jun :: QLD 28 NSW 18 @ Etihad

[jarro]

classy classy winner just there

Not my fault your boys played like a bunch of rejects :roll:

Take it on the chin lads, no point whinging about calls that you thought went the wrong way ....

... bottom line is that you guys weren't good enough or desperate enough to win it.

For NSW, the problems were mainly with 1 6 7 and 9

9 Farah -> Best of the lot, but still pretty bad.
7 Wallace -> Shocker, lost count of the hospital passes he threw, but at least tried to organize..
6 Campese -> The most non-existent performance by a half I've seen at origin. Hell was he even out there?
1. Gidley -> Was going along ok, without doing anything flash. Well, until the last 10 minutes, where he wrapped it up for QLD..

Who should stay for game 2? Gidley and Farah deserve another shot. As for the halves I'd have either:
7. Kimmorley (Can't believe I'm saying this..)
6. Mullen

Or

7. Wallace (by a thread)
6. Mullen

..Sure glad I'm a Queensland fan.

Very true, Barrett (hes good in origin) and Soward as ruffies should have a shot also and B.Morris in for McMannus this bloke has nothing!

Farah??? are you serious??

Did you not notice the massive shift in fortunes when Wing took over? And for mine Hayne was the best player on the ground!

Kimmorley IS NOT the answer..he's been there and stuffed that!

NSW need to learn to stick with some players and especially combos instead of trying to swap and change all the time

The score flatters qld who have so much experience and an all aust back line.

Award the Hayne try in the early parts (because despite elevated camera angles ...no player plants their heal when they run and the touchy had the best view) and we have an interesting ball game on our hands.

Im happy to keep that entire squad except Rove who was pathetic and bring Gallen in to add some starch to the hit ups! Jenning MUST get more space!

 

[Jasdragon]

Once again the Blues forwards were dominated by two pensioners in Price and Civeno, two nevilles in Harrison and Johnson and by two games in nine months Crocker. Embarrassing. Someone please get our pack to front up with some mongrel in game 2.

:lol: at blues forwards being dominated! The halves did!

 

[Slackboy72]

Farrah was rubbish. His card will be marked "never to play origin again".

To be honest Jarro....if you think that was a good win with an all australian backline against a newly formed team and with some handy refs calls.....good luck to you...you certainly dont have high expectations of your team.

enjoy it

3, 2, 1s for NSW.

Worst players:
3. Kurt Gidley
2. James McManus
1. Peter Wallace, Terry Campese, Brent Kite, Jamie Lyon, Anthony Laffranchi and Paul Gallen

Best players:
3. Jarryd Hayne
2. Craig Wing
1. Luke Lewis and Michael Jennings

Was very dissapointed that Michael Jennings was given the ball more often. He was getting halfbreaks with every run he had, and that was with no space at all. The only bloke that had a better game then him in our backline was Jarryd Hayne... arguably the best player on the field.

Luke Lewis should be starting at Lock for Game 2. Looked dangerous everytime he ran the ball and had some mongrel in him in defence. He wasn't given enough game time though IMO.

 

[8Ball]

Farah??? are you serious??

Did you not notice how I was commenting only on the 1 6 7 and 9? Meaning that Farah was the best out of them. Obviously he wasn't anywhere near NSW's best.

yeah..gallen had a quiet one didnt he.. :sarcasm:
but everything else you say, i agree with.

 

[effnic]

Did luke lewis play did he?

:lol: Ben Creagh played better that both those blokes put together!

you need to re-watch the game if you think Gidley was the worst. Two terrible errors when the game was already lost.

 

[ozjet1]

I agree with what Gus said too.

A lot of the NSW players didn't play with passion and hunger tonight. That was a bit depressing tbh.

pathetic comment.

 

[skeepe]

Campese wasn't awful, but he didn't do all that much that was good either. The problem was, as I've mentioned several times, Bellamy's tactics. It's plain as day that Bellamy wanted Wallace to be the dominant half in the partnership, with Campese in more of a supporting role. This was evident the amount of times Campese was found at dummy half, which is more often than I would have expected.

So many times you could see Campese organising the players around him, only for Farah to take the wrong option and pass it to Wallace, who clearly wasn't ready. These guys need to be given time. They will get better as they form combinations at this level. You NSW fans are absolutely ruthless, if you lot were the selectors then playing 5 Origins would be considered a record.

 

[sass]

I don't care what gus said ... I don't think the boys had no passion. I'm proudly and drunkly wearing my blues jersey right now. (as is kiki).

they were young and inexperienced and I think that they just need time to gel ... give them time and we can beat the queenslanders. considering they are basically the australian team with a different second row they should have THRASHED nsw and they didn't.

ps INGLIS YOU ARE FROM KEMPSEY. IN NSW. THAT STILL MAKES ME ANGRY.

So who out of Gidley, Wallace, and Campese had a better game? :roll:

I thought we were comparing the hookers?? :roll::roll:

I didnt think any of those three were terribly good tonight. But Wing was certainly more damaging than the lot!

No... I was comparing the performances of the spine...

Obviously Wing was far better than Farah. Brought NSW back into the game single-handedly.

If he hadn't made those mistakes, we had a great chance at sending the game into golden point.

His errors were more costly then any of the referee mistakes and errors other players had made. His mistakes happened at the worst possible time for NSW. He absolutely destroyed our momentum.
