2017 Origin II - NSW 16-18 QLD @ ANZ

[Desert Qlder]

Queensland winning against the odds with an inspired, passionate performance right to the final minute.

NSW turning on themselves and blaming the referees, thinking they had things wrapped up after reading too much of their own press.

That's Origin.

Got to say this guy's how many times have we scene stripping of the ball penalties in this years NRL season not many right? all considered loose carries, anyway we see a great hit from Graham and Fafita on Gagai (I think} and he loses control of it. Turning point of the game.

 

[big hit!]

Daley is as dumb as a pot plant.

those plugs are rooted in his brain

 

[gUt]

This non-entity channel 9 compere just said "could of". f**king bogans.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Mitchell Pearce costs NSW the game again with the same old pathetic kicking game that lands straight into a Qld players hands that gives his NSW teammates zero time to get down there and put pressure on them.has absolutely no thought process at all behind any of his kicks other to boot bash the ball and hope

f**king idiot

It's called match fixing lol

 

[Clifferd]

Well, less colourful.
Worst half of nsw football ever and we were useless as we didn't target the obvious busted arse Thurston.
Hard to argue!

Yep, pretty much spot on

 

[Game_Breaker]

Grahams strip came in a set where NSW were dominating defensively. He couldn't read the game and realise we would've gotten the ball back at halfway after their kick

Unnecessarily gave Qld a chance though

Laurie Daley just admitted he did not instruct his players to run at Thurston after the shoulder injury. Is it possible to sack a coach mid series, as I think this is grounds for it. Crazy

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Only NSW would be so desperate as to want to exploit an injury

 

[Fangs]

Origin is well and truly alive. Though if it was less manufactured I'd feel a lot better about it.

It just had to be this way. Whats the point of having the 3rd game for Thurston and Cronk unless its to win the series? Disgraceful in one sense, but brilliant in another.

NSW had chances to win the game. But if you keep giving QLD that many chances to win a game they will steal one. Best spine of all time leading the charge. Hell, give enough chances and you'll even make Dane Gagai look like an origin player.

Bring on game 3? I think I'll pass.

It was more NSW beating themselves because they're still such a mentally weak side when it matters most than QLD doing anything special. Pearce produced a cowardly second half and is just not a winner at this level and Hayne shouldn't have come back to NRL, he's a shadow of the player he was in 2014 and before that.

Josh Jackson MOTM?

Really?

 

[Light Reflections]

Okay, this Josh Jackson love in as gone too far.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Dead set they give MOM to a roach.

Axe the Myth and the Nose!

 

[Canard]

Has there ever been a team as mentally weak as NSW in the last decade??

Any half with even half a brain wouldn't need instructions to target him.

What about his reasoning. "They might have put him on the wing and we don't want to go into touch".

Wtf

 

[Frank_Grimes]

Did Jackson even play the 2nd half?
