2017 Origin II - NSW 16-18 QLD @ ANZ

[TheVelourFog]

the only NSW forward that wouldn't walk into the QLD side.

wouldn't take Klemmer either

 

[King hit]

Yep just saw that Josh Jackson was man of the match. That is very bitter sweet winning man of the match in a losing side. He was good but not the best on the ground. Probably the same idiots that gave out the last 2 clive churchill medals.

Was Josh Jackson seriously motm?

He played well but the not best on ground. If they wanted to give it to an undeserved back rower why not give it to Gillett like they usually do?

Just can't see anything other than a QLD win in 3 weeks time. We haven't won a decider since before I had pubes

We will probably dominate but mistakes, penalties in front of QLD crowd and the halves lack of ability to take control in the moments that count will ensure we lose.

 

[smi962]

Man of Match had to be NSW player, probably not Jackson though

 

[King hit]

This loss is hurting me so much

 

[smi962]

I feel like Josh Jackson is some in-joke at Channel Nine.

They couldn't go five minutes without mentioning how tough he was and what an origin player he is.

And then he wins MotM.

It beggar's belief.

It mainly Sterlo

McGuire ran and tackled his heart out, had a ripper game, he had to be MotM.

Easy to run hard at cats like Nathan Peats doe

Will JT be fit by then?

what are you like 14? Game 2 2014 was a decider.

Josh Jackson didn't score a try, or set up a try, or save a try, or run for the most metres, or make the most tackles, or even play for an hour

but they said his name a lot

WTF is this boring shit, shouldn't there be a Steven Seagull movie on by now?

Good first stint, only played 49 minutes all up and hardly sighted in his second stint.

The penalty against Maloney leading to Holmes' 'try', compared to Boyd just tackling Hayne on the kick chase has me astounded. The other blocker play a couple of sets later was just as bad.
I know NSW absolutely shit the bed and should have closed the game out, but the inconsistency in these two rulings have me stunned.
Either of those get called and NSW close the game out.
NSW cottoned on and took Slater out later on, but the momentum had well and truly shifted by then.
Smith and G Cooper revelled in the ruck with the whistle put away as well. So many second efforts once a NSW player was down and trying to get back up.

It sounds like sour grapes and it probably is, but Qld adapted much better to the 'put the whistle away' approach and NSW got played as suckers by Qld and the men with the whistle.

 

[Generalzod]

Gould can blame Gallen for the Loss

 

[gUt]

I thought Dugan was NSW's best, especially in the second half.

Klemmer seemed to be on a mission to stop Napa.

Tedesco coming off for a HIA was the turning point I reckon.
