'15 | Origin 1 | Wed 27 May | NSW 10-11 QLD | ANZ

[Someone]

NSW halves weren't the problem tonight. Farah was.

 

[lafai]

Trent Hodkinson.

1 run for 6 metres
not attempting 2 possible field goals
4 missed tackles

fcking atrocious

 

[Jason Maher]

Great game? It was about 2 levels above the Tigers Cowboys game on the weekend

Which on a scale of 0 to 10 means tonight was about -3.

Taking the loss well

 

[Johnnie Red]

1. Moylan
2. Johnston
3. Dugan
4. J.Morris
5. Tupou (would actually be of use with a decent kicker)
6. Austin
7. A.Reynolds (Pearce if not fit)
8. Woods
9. Peats
10. Tamou
11. Scott
12. Hoffman (c)
13. Fensom

14. Fifita
15. Merrin
16. Vaughan
17. Sutton

That's a better looking side IMO.

Not even close...cute effort though

Cameron Smith was a great leader for Qld tonight. he deserved MOM

 

[BranVan3000]

I love Blake Austin but his defence would be a problem. The raiders right edge bleeds metres and hes a big part of the problem.

He would be great in attack though

He seems like a big body who puts in some solid tackles. And Scott would be baby sitting him

If J Reynolds can play Origin with his defence then Austin could

 

[Snappy]

Do you ever do anything besides go out of your way to pick fights with other posters?

lol I have plenty of rational discussion. That merkin has been trolling the Brisbane forum all year and failing miserably

Holy shit

Cameron Smith 100% deservedly MoM. What a champion. Some blues fans in here trying to sling shit at the bloke have a serious case of tall poppy syndrome. Get over it.

 

[Meapro Ham]

Is it just me or in that first half was Bum Chin Smith lying all over the ruck for not a single penalty?

NSW had their chances, not disputing the result. But f*ck me that turd gets away with shit because of his "standing" in the game.

And how would that be different to any other game Smith plays? Gets away with it every game

 

[Ibleedblue]

Smith.

Pretty fair winner but Cronk would've been my choice snapping the winner in a tight game in a pressure situation like he has done in the past, scored the first try of the game as well.

 

[Pete Cash]

You are right.

I'm just worried any half who comes in is on a hiding to nothing and I don't want Austin scapegoated lol.

im not sure if winning or losing makes the quality of game better or worse. It was just as bad as last years game two.

seriously if this is the quality of state of origin for the future I might as well watch golf.

the wrestle is still in our game and every origin it rears its ugly head and the refs refuse to do anything about it.

show me my last post in the brisbane forum bud.....good luck

 

[TheFrog]

No more blokes from my club, that's for sure

You've got a point. Leave the side unchanged.

 

[Maximus]

If Hodkinson had put himself in a position to receive the ball and didn't get it I'd hang it on Farah but Hodkinson was so scared of f**king up he didn't even bother. The first one, Pearce attracted the inside chasers to the right, spun it back into the middle for Hodkinson, right foot or not he had very little pressure on him, even if he didn't want to take the shot he should've been the one putting boot to ball instead of throwing a cut out ball to Jennings who had a wall of defenders in front of him.
The second time, if he was behind the ruck on Farah's right hand side (the correct side for a right foot kicker) and Farah ignored him I'd hang it on Farah, but you watch the replay, Hodkinson was on Farah's left, the wrong side for him to take a shot and he wasn't back, he was in the line, was never in a position to take the shot

Ah wasn't he next to Dugan? He was right in front of the posts (considering Dugan was a bit to the right). Farah took the wrong option both then, and on the 4th on the previous opportunity.

Slater no try, it wasn't a push and you know it. Hodgkinson was blocking for all money

Ah you can block, and no a chaser can't push a blocker in the back. 2 hands in the back and extended his arms. It's pretty much the definition of a push.

Your a miserable merkin. Hating a great player because of the jersey he wears. Get a life.

 

[The Elephant In The room]

So in the test GI proved he wasn't a fullback. Tonight he proved he is on the way out as a centre. Living on reputation only.
