'14 // Origin III // Wed 9 // QLD 32-8 NSW // Suncorp

[rabbitohs95]

One missed tackle led to a try. Outside that he was never out-muscled and stopped six tries one being an absolute beauty on Thurston, but he shouldn't be in Origin? It wasn't a Merritt of a performance. It's far from an idiotic decision when there's a good possibility QLD could have destroyed Masnour or Taufua.

At what point does the tide turn for McManus to get some credit for his performances? At what point does he be congratulated for selection rather than being shat upon? In 160 minutes of Origin football he has made two mistakes with only one being costly. When you look at the wingers NSW have had in the past, say 4 years, he's up there as one of the safest and most reliable ones.

He just hasn't done anything great in the Origin arena, but to be fair he hasn't had much good around him.

I just think that the size and power of Taufua and Mansour along with a little early experience for them could help.

They did have the most boring halves combo ever, I can't remember a single try assist of note, Hodkinson did score a series defining try though.

No matter how hard you try to make a lame statement in regards to the victorious NSW,it doesn't change the fact that you lost the series.

Qlders are used to winning,and good luck to them,but this is a reality check that when they wake up tomorrow,it will be official that N.S.W. are the champions.

And being champions comes that kind of feeling that the N.S.W. players and supporters haven't felt for a long time.

And part of being ex-champions also means being humble in defeat,and recognising the other teams efforts as Qlds Parker just did on Ch Nine.

And believe me,a long trot of success that Qld have enjoyed,that I don't think will never happen again.

Massive LOL at those saying QLD 3-0 if Cronk is fit, DCE is a more than capable replacement, NSW won with Reynolds and Hodkinson FFS

 

[STORM.99/07]

Well best team won tonight. SOO over now we can get down to the business end of the season.
congrats NSW. 2014 soo champs

 

[dragon_around]

Don't listen to the losers with butthurt agendas because players from their clubs didn't get picked. Jimmy justified his selection as he always does. Imagine if Mansour with his feet for hands or Taufua (aka Uate mkII) were on that wing in the first half? Game over before half time.

Nice team song, NSW, NSW, NSW, easy to remember...

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Congrats, Parker. Well deserved. Just an absolute freakshow.

Trying to educate a Melbourne fan on fair play, humility and good sportsmanship is an exercise in futility mate.

They're still comfortable with the fact that their club is a bunch of cheating scumbags.

Neither has Tupou.

McManus justified his selection tonight. Nuff said.

 

[Red Bear]

Jarryd Hayne had one of the greatest Origin performances of all time in Game 1, and was excellent for every game after that.

Yes, should've been man of the series

It's spelled 'hypocritical'.

:lol:

 

[Kiwi]

anyone know how many offloads Parker had?

dce wasn`t a capable replacement for COOPS and he even admitted it himself. Maybe next season he will improve for the experience he got this series.(hope so)

 

[user_nat]

anyone know how many offloads Parker had?

8

With zero errors is pretty impressive.

 

[Sphagnum]

anyone know how many offloads Parker had?

I reckon he took two hit ups from kick offs and they were the only two times he got tackled with the ball. 15 or 20

 

[Dave_]

Imagine if the Blues had decent halves in this series. We would have made QLDerrrrrrr look even worse.

 

[meercat]

anyone know how many offloads Parker had?

8 offloads, 189m gained, 32 tackles.
Absolute beast of a player.

 

[ek999]

Parker motm, lol.

If you think anyone besides Parker should have been MOTM you have absolutely no idea

 

[insert.pause]

anyone know how many offloads Parker had?

208m, 8 Offloads, brilliant game.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Very proud of of co-captain tonight. Just a machine. Hopefully he will go down as one of the Broncos all time greats.
