2017 Origin I - QLD 4-28 NSW @ Suncorp

[AlwaysGreen]

JJ was amazing though. He squashed everyone that ran at him.

Stopped them on the spot.

Did you see him run the ball? He was ragdolled every time.

 

[Jason Maher]

Jackson should be at 13. His biggest (only) asset is his defence. You want him tidying up the ruck. Cordner, Friz, and Graham all have impact out wide, which Jackson manifestly doesn't.

 

[Raiderdave]

A seriously awesome origin game
Brilliant

 

[GongPanther]

How many tackles did Dugan miss?

I dunno,but he has to be more decisive in attack.Hayne has shown enough that he will be an automatic selection as long as he wants to play.

But Fifita...only if they can sort out during HT in having one player on each side of him in backing him up.Teddy has been sound at the back.Fergie needed to interfere with the Qld winger.Best to give away a penalty.

Bring on the 2nd half.

 

[Hutty1986]

Imagine having a beast like Vaughn coming on to replace Fifita..

 

[Rabbit toes]

Jackson is Shaun Fensom without the work rate

He's a bigger myth than ferguson

 

[Maximus]

Lol Jackson was a beast.

Did the dirty work and now Graham providing the class.

JJ is built for Origin and every Blue would love having him in the team.

What with his massive 14 metres?

 

[skeepe]

Fifita and Klemmer have both run for 100 metres already, while Queensland's best is Papalii with 70.

This game is NSW's to lose.

 

[no name]

Pearce supporters have called for a dominant forward performance for him to show his wares.
The Blue pack has dominated and it's only been Qld grubbiness and Pearce's kicking game that have kept Qld in it.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

The difference in this QLD side is noticeable. Usually NSW would have been pinned at their own end for a good portion of the half but they've actually been allowed to play some footy.

 

[chigurh]

Imagine having a beast like Vaughn coming on to replace Fifita..

Game over. Why the hell is he not there..

 

[Light Reflections]

Josh Jackson has 13 tackles and 19 running metres

 

[JJ]

Cronk has absolutely SFA, apart from kicking to teddy on the full.

Still 100 times better than Pearce

 

[This Year?]

do you know what an HIA is?

You missed the dog shot from Maguire too? Maguire came 4th man in and hit Fafita in the head. If you watched closely you would have seen him touching his head before and after he played the ball.

Not as big as Jackson if you ask sterlo. Best on field apparently.

Fafita best on field, Looks like making a break with every carry,

 

[Life's Good]

Shaking as I post this but Woods played strongly in the 1st half.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

One day a prop will do something skillful without a commentator mentioning how back in the good old days props weren't allowed to do anything other than bulldoze in a straight line.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Did you see him run the ball? He was ragdolled every time.

He's an edge backrower.

But he was put in the middle to dominate defensively and he flattened the f**k out of every Canetoad that ran his way.

He was awesome.

 

[Jason Maher]

Fifita and Klemmer have both run for 100 metres already, while Queensland's best is Papalii with 70.

This game is NSW's to lose.

Unfortunately we are well practiced at taking our foot off the accelerator in this position.

 

[MilkShark]

What with his massive 14 metres?

That's being generous.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

NSW ran it on the last so that moron Pearce didn't have to put in another dud kick again

Pearce ran it on the last
