2017 Origin II - NSW 16-18 QLD @ ANZ

[Parra Pride]

Which is what has happened time and time again with Pearce, as a halfback it's really supposed to be his bread and butter.
Yet they picked him this year, again.

Yeah, but remember that on time he got a drop out because Gagai let it bounce? That was brilliant play that should see him a main stay of this side well into his sixties.

 

[Perth Red]

One of the best chokes of all time? 16-6 up and cruising and managed to end up like rabbits in the headlights. At least they can win when qland are understrnegth so there is always hope for next year!

 

[King hit]

He's the back version of Nate Myles. Dead set gun at Origin level but a marshmellow at club level!

Well it's bloody difficult when you have to play behind turkeys. Like Tedesco in Origin.

True but some effort wouldn't go astray. It will be interesting to see how he goes next year.

That one was a stripping motion. The one before wasn't and should have been a lost ball though. That was was just a dumb play by Graham.

Seriously locky how many of those do you see in the NRL this year and are deemed loose carries.

 

[OldPanther]

The fact is a good half would have taken control of the game behind such a dominant forward pack. Pearce went missing.

 

[Generalzod]

Pearce off jack gibson

 

[_snafu_]

Pearce has to go into game 3 thinking "what would McCrone do?".

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The best Myth has looked all series is game 1 when he got knocked out and carted off.

 

[gregstar]

The Dynasty ends at 1 game

bwahahahahahah!

good stuff!

When it was 16-6 and Hayne tried to play hero ball by not passing to BMoz I said he had his 'Mundine 99 GF moment'.

Turns out it was uncannily like that. Two egomaniacs costing their teams in big games.

please don't compare those games.

i came to the very brink of murder suicide all those years ago.

 

[gregstar]

i feel most sorry for roosters supporters.

they see pearceoff play consistently well at club level & then turn downie in origin.

it is extraordinary that he is the most capped half for the blues.

what an insult to mortimer, sterling, stuart, johns & co.

 

[gregstar]

btw, this thread is an awesome read.

You mustn't have watched many Raiders games this year. They are consistently inconsistent when it comes to stripping. There was one game against Manly where every knock on was penalised, and every blatant strip was called a knock on.

When the ball comes loose it's a complete lottery.

 

[skeepe]

Sack Laurie and hire someone else from the raiders.

Welcome Ricky.

The one and only David Howell is coaching A Grade in Canberra, I'm sure he wouldn't turn it down.

f**k the Roosters fans. At least they get to follow a team where he plays half decent.

It should be part of the Raiders recruitment strategy:

''History has shown if you play for the Raiders you will coach a representative team. No NRL coaching experience necessary, you get the top job''.

 

[isaiah]

What was great hit on Gagai by Fafita and Graham was penalise for a strip when reply showed he had lost it...big turning point of the game.

Turning point was missing tackles on Maguire. Did rub of the green lose it for you once again

 

[Canard]

Queensland's back rowers all out played Josh f**king Jackson.

67m and 24 tackles in 64 mins. FMD how salty where the NSW commentators picking that plod.
