2017 Origin I - QLD 4-28 NSW @ Suncorp

[OldPanther]

It's not good though, it changed the game. NSW worked out at about the 20th minute mark that they could do absolutely anything and wouldn't get punished. The refs thought they were opening the game up, but in reality they just ruined it because NSW were only ever back 7 or 8 meters prior to each of their dirty shots.

Now it's fair to point out that NSW were the better team, but the refs made it a farce

Bullshit. QLD had heaps more grub than NSW. Fifi having to get the HIA from a dog shot, Pearce off all game, Smith Spear tackle plus more.

 

[Captain Apollo]

The refs had nothing to do with qld losing.

Nsw were superior in almost every facet of play. Qld were gone at half time.

Mitchell Pearce's try was the key moment. Had Qld only gone in 6-4 down at halftime the game may have been a different story. Going in 12-4 down would have been a blow to team confidence.

Got to laugh at the media after the game saying Pearce played his best game. He was shit

Still his best game, and helped that it was just 50 mins

Did it burn you up that a brown fella won MOTM?

What I want to know and I don't mean to make it sound like I am having a dig but how can people follow a side like Canberra and still go for QLD?

I have a mate who is a die hard Parra fan, yet is a proud QLD supporter too, it just doesn't make any sense to me

 

[blaza88z]

The MILF apparently has been ruled out for Brisbane with injury.

Yeah concussion apparently, that's not great.. Benji will get another game, he wasn't too bad last week actually

That's like asking someone how can you support Manchester United and also the Socceroos? Quite simply really. This may surprise you but not everyone with allegiance to QLD supports the Broncos.

Clue: some clubs existed before state of origin and in particular the broncos

 

[ed-grimley]

Hahaha

Bullshit

I think sometimes it's a negative tactic - especially after the sixth kick.

Not everyone in QLD has to love the Broncos mate.......

He was pretty shit.

The media is right though. It was his best origin game. Because he was not completely shit.

 

[Nice Beaver]

Good rebuttal

Oh apologies.

You are a sore loser and quite frankly, a f*cking idiot if you think NSW won that game because of a "pre-determined" script.

Nate Myles and Maguire were running around like bloody lunatics in the first 20 minutes, but you fail to mention that.

How's that for you? Better?

I get that, there are other sides in QLD though

Mate, plenty of people followed teams before 1988.

If they had any gumption about them, they weren't going to just jump ship to the Bronco's because they got admitted into the NRL.

Edit: and the other Qld teams you mention.

A mate of mine was a lifelong Tigers supporter then in about 1990 he jumped to the Bronco's. Lost so much respect for the prick after that.

Yeah I see your point, it certainly can be negative.

But that's after repeated sets and continued applied pressure.

Getting a repeat set to apply that pressure is not taking the weak option.

You can have all the digs you like - these people are scum.

 

[carcharias]

Geeze fatty seemed upset after the game

Just tackle Fifita around the legs he reckons
Problembo solved!

Haha

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Thats alright...Mansour will be back for game 2.

No, No, No, No, No.........

Canberra were pretty much a QLD team at one stage.
