2018 Origin I - QLD 12-22 NSW @ MCG

[King hit]

I've said it earlier Cliff,I think this side needs a hitout together before it will be ready. I'm nowhere near as confident as some arrogent "journos",who think its already a 3-0 to the Blues.

Murdoch employees mate. They need to sell off to the public

 

[Meapro Ham]

Chambers, Holmes and Inglis will score at will down our flanks

Just gotta hope we out score them

Not as convinced as everyone else

Couldn’t agree more. All this talk of NSW being unbeatable is already setting it up perfectly for the QLD ambush.

No one is saying it's unbeatable. They're just enjoying the clean out that came years too late but better late than never.

Jobs for the boys.
Klown is hopeless and Sutto only gets the gig because his brother brother is the boss.

Checcin and Badge are both better.

 

[Tommy Smith]

People talking about Latrell & Roberts' D as though they let in 3 tries every game.

Locky and JT are two of the worst defensive halves I've ever seen at rep level and yet I didn't see Qld leaving them out on that account.

You pick your best players. End of. And Latrell is NSW best left centre by a mile and Jimmy is the best right centre.

 

[Perth Red]

Glad they picked the Fox. Looks like two strong attacking teams, hopefully its an open free flowing game. Certainly a changing of the guard series that will see NSW much closer due to the loss of Qland's once in a lifetime world class spine.

Do you reckon? I disagree having just read through the thread. Without singling anyone out there a few who are way overconfident of a blues smashing.

Agreed. But I reckon Fitler would have a pretty good plan, he has a smart football brain

A low intensity game against nsw cup opposition or something would be smart to get combos working

 

[Clifferd]

How the hell is Sutton gonna ref a game that’s not the Brisbane Broncos

 

[Mr Angry]

Checcin and Badge are both better.

Agreed.

I like the Badge.

Hey players make it easy for the poor refs, get on side, get off the guy playing the ball, makes for a better game.

 

[Woosh]

We definitely have them in the forwards and speed in the backline but one big advantage QLD has is their back 5 are exceptional at the tough meters.
Holmes, Gagaga, Inglis and Chambers can easily get a roll on early in the sets.

defence is part of being a really good player

Roberts is just questionable on so many grounds, and Mitchell is so inexperienced, Aitken was perhaps the only other option, and he's dodgy as f**k. or Peachey but he's a backrower...

Just reflects how centres have become an afterthought in today's game TBH

I worry more about the back three starting sets, Tedesco and Addo Carr aren't big units, and TomT is out of position - think leaving out Cotric was a mistake, and Sauce being hurt is a shame

But there are points in them - and a lot depends on what the refs do, if the penalty-athon contunues (I doubt it will) NSW will win with goal kicking...

the NSW pack should get the edge, but that was the case last year too

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Doesn't matter if nsw lose, Freddie will still be a larrikin and a good bloke.


That's all that matters.

Slater knows it's over

Trying to get sympathy penalties

Still a scumlord

QLD are fielding the worst side to don the Maroon in over a decade and you still need to make excuses well before kickoff? lol

Keep whinging and trying to make up excuses. You’re pathetic!

 

[Haffa]

Agreed.

I like the Badge.

The Badge is the best pocket ref in the game and Sutton as lead over Cecchin is laughable.

I don’t care about conspiracies etc Klein is simply the worst ref in the game.
