2016 Origin II - QLD 26-16 NSW @ Suncorp

[chigurh]

It looked like a regulation grade 1 to me. If he didn't have loading or carry overs he'd be free to play. But he does.

Hope they play Hoffman lol

QLD by 30.

I'm thinking we'll see some very different officiating this time. A nice big 10 and not a great deal of wrestling.

Like that's ever going to happen at Suncorp. QLD know the refs won't have the balls to penalise them more than a handful of times at home so will go into full on wresting and standing way offside mode like they always do at Suncorp.

 

[Rhyno]

Qld by 10

 

[Nealo 12]

NSW need lots of help from a grasshopper type refereeing performance to get this done.

 

[Charlie124]

QLD will have this wrapped up by half time.

20+

 

[drago brelli]

NSW will win by 8.

If I was coach I would start Dylan Walker at 9 with Farah on the bench. Tell him he has one job which is to break Cam Smiths jaw with a swinging arm. Then when he gets sent off bring Farah on and play the rest of the game as normal.

 

[Mogsheen Jadwat]

Qld by 14, game over series over daley retains the job lol

Problem with that is NSW would have to play with 12 men for the remainder lol otherwise I'm sure that tactic has been thought of before

It wouldn't matter because we would still lose.

It would be doing the NRL competition a favour though.

 

[Unscrupulous]

Graham out.

 

[JamesRustle]

Graham out.

Oh well. We don't know what we're missing as he's never played at that level. On with the show.

 

[Dr Crane]

Graham out.

Holy shit, he must actually be a Kiwi.

 

[some11]

Graham out.

Suspended for a head high with zero intent while f**kwits like Brown get off.

It's maddening.

 

[Clifferd]

Damn, Justin Hunt got left off Scott free with his coat hanger on Moses m Bye which looked quite a bit worse. Should've used that in his defense

I said in the other thread, should have asked the judiciary how many grades higher should Tapau's tackle on Bird be.
Anyway, Graham's tackle was a worthy grade 1, however it's maddening seeing tackles such as Tapau's and Hunt's get such lenient treatment along with Nathan Brown's grubby tactics.

 

[lockyno1]

Finally a good decision!

Stop high tackling and you won't cop suspensions. He is a repeat offender maybe this might teach him!

 

[chigurh]

Honestly I thought it was a grade 1, but it's a shame that he had carry over points and loading or else he'd be playing.

Just introduce a fine system for these offences already - every Origin and finals series something similar pops up, everyone calls for it but nothing changes.
