2017 Origin I - QLD 4-28 NSW @ Suncorp

[King hit]

Fifita man of the match

Cordner' chicken wing was one of the worst ever seen on a football field. If that's club footy he gets a lengthy sit down, that shouldn't change just because Origin.

As bad as the smack to the biscuit that Fifita copped from Maguire?

Because shit flew from both sides,there'll be nothing to report...end of just like past origins.

I think Skeepe is hurting after the H2H mauling Cordner have Plodpalii.

I know that its just friendly bantz and Cordner was better tonight but I thought Papalii was pretty good. He isn't a middle third player but had to do a lot of work and Queensland seemed to lose quite a bit of momentum after he went off. The only passable Queensland forwards were Papalii, McGuire and Napa

Cordner 17 runs for 150 m according to NRL.com
Papalii 13 runs for 110 m

So 8.8 to 8.4 m a run. Cordner shades this one

Walters probably could have played Papalii for longer.

I wouldn't do this at Canberra but Queensland are desperate for size in the middle of the field. They might need to start Papalii at prop

For Queensland you'd have to think myles and Lillyman are headed to the knackery.

Who replaces them is the problem

I thought Lillyman was better than Thaiday- but yeah, he's not much longer for Origin

 

[MilkShark]

The QTards will have Slater, Holmes, Thurston etc in Game 2. Will be much harder

But we will have Jackson the settler.

Smith's short drop out was a very amateur play, one of the worst plays I have seen in such a big game

 

[Hutty1986]

Qld will be better in Sydney...but if they get destroyed through the middle like that again it will mean sfa. Still dont think we've picked our strongest side and this team still has a heap of improvement in it. We need to seal the series in front of the sky blue faithful in Sydney.

 

[Pete Cash]

lol, Jarrod Wallace and... ?

Move Papalii to prop for Myles and play Hess. Its risky but they are that thin on forwards

 

[GongPanther]

Honestly I can't believe I've finally seen a performance that dominated QLD in every aspect of the game. More of that, please.

Side note, f**k the coverage here in Melbourne. Cut straight to the stupid
AFL late night footy show. Disrespectful

Can't you get the online feed from ch 9 in sydney?

 

[insert.pause]

No Farah, no Gallen, and they played like a team.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

NSW probably wouldve won that match, but a couple of key moments for me when the game was still close were Gagai running from dummy half on the last in the first half, and Smith's short drop out in the second half. Even with the repeat sets, Smith's decision at only the 50' mark was baffling really. Very low percentage play

In Smith's defence, he's had bozo's people in front of him for most of his career. A team with smarts and ability is a rare opponent for him.

My favourite performance was Peats. Barring injury, Farah is done at this level. Peats service was sublime. Best since Bedsy at his best.

Simple and direct. Wonderful from peats.

klemmer was a beast tonight too!

 

[mxlegend99]

Thank god Pearce got injured and alliqed our dominance to mean something. Nsw attack opened up without him.

 

[Spot On]

You can't get quality big minutes from Papali at this level.

 

[mave]

Move Papalii to prop for Myles and play Hess. Its risky but they are that thin on forwards

BJ Lawerence is a lock for game 2, surely.

 

[Spot On]

Pearce goes off.... try, try, try!

 

[hineyrulz]

Fafita a well deserved MOTM.

 

[roboshark]

Well done fif

 

[Clifferd]

Shame Tedesco doesn't get awarded for that terrific performance but Fifita well deserved

 

[hineyrulz]

I think Skeepe is hurting after the H2H mauling Cordner have Plodpalii.

Did Crapali even play???
