2018 Origin I - QLD 12-22 NSW @ MCG

[Rabbits20]

Cook was awesome out of dummy half and defended like a machine in the middle. Was nervous about Tommy T but he was outstanding in the second half.

Cooooooooooookkkkkkkkkkiiiiieeeeee hell yeah!!! There my friend is the next Kangaroos hooker and that would bring me to tears!!!

Locky backed NSW knowing Will Chambers watched Insidious Chapter 3 before the game and would have a shocker

But he somehow lost money on the game because he bet on every QLDer to score bar Holmes and Gaygay.

Cameron McInnes anyone????

Dumb comment. McInnes is good and would be fine at this level, but Cook has really stepped it up this year, got his opportunity, and grabbed it with both hands. Good luck to him. The spot is his for as long as he wants it. I still can't believe we ever preferred Mitch Rein over him (or anyone).

Cordner 156 metres in 80 minutes. Klemmer 129 metres in 30 minutes. Cordner was solid, no more. It's in his favour that he can play 80 minutes.

Cordner wasn't the worst forward on the field by a long shot.
The likes of Cooper and Hess only shine when the rest of the team is on top. And then you have fatso from Canberra.

My Blues 3-2-1 is:

3. Tedesco
2. Cook
1. Maloney


Maloney gets the 1 due to his couple of mistakes that led to their tries but geez he really made up for it and took us to victory. He couldn't do what he did though without those fast crisp bullet like passes from Cookie.

Tedesco 16 tackle breaks the freak!

I thought Frizell was immense too and he'd be our next best I'd say!

Addo Carr was also outstanding!


That's one of the best performances from GI intensity wise too! He sure lead from the front for them!

McCullough was a let down for them and only tackled and that was that!!!!

I think QLD supporters are in for a bit of a shock with how differently the side will perform without Smith, JT and Cronk.

For one I don't think Munster/Hunt have the kicking game to pressure NSW and McCullough doesn't run or kick enough as it is for the Broncos - he's not going to provide the composure Smith did when QLD were in the shit late in a game.

Kicked to death, Walters is going to have to find a way to compensate for it and I have no idea how.

Yeaaaaahhhhhh merkin fuvk Qld dogs up da blues.;..

Wanker.

 

[Rabbits20]

Will Chambers was utter shit.

Missed 10 tackles

 

[Jason Maher]

Queensland's kicking game was better - again. Not sure why Queensland fans would point that out as a crucial area of concern.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Missed 10 tackles

And charged for the lifting knee into Cook

 

[Rabbits20]

Bloke on my facebook who has been sledging the Blues all day today has dissapeared and gone very quiet

Classic

Next min he will blame the ref like QLD'r fans I know are

 

[Rabbits20]

And charged for the lifting knee into Cook

Was that when Cookie went down and looked in a bad way and I nearly shit myself??

Chamber is a grub!!

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

all those wasted Cordner hit ups coming out of own end when no other forwards were back yet.. really stifled our attack.... should have been letting it sing out wide...

 

[GongPanther]

Sorry mate dont know why it did that......referring to Skeepes comment

What I thought. Seemed odd reading it.

Probably because Hunt kicking to the same winger over and over with the same result really worked for them.

 

[TheFrog]

Cordner. Had a captains knock, just toiled and had some really tough runs - same can’t be said for NSW front towers IMO...

Klemmer was good in his limited minutes, RCG inconspicuous in his first stint, but better in his second, Vaughan was average.

First game I can remember when one of our back three didn't make a bad drop. Plenty of our kicks went to your back 3 on the full. The difference was your chase was better and most of Turbo's takes were under pressure.

QLD kicking it on the 3rd and 4th tackles was f**king ridiculous. Would like to know who’s idea it was to do it....

 

[GongPanther]

Running flat out and passing sideways will allow the ball to float forward which is all good. The pass from Maloney was passed forward from his body to Addo Carr but at the end of the day the refs missed it and it was called a try.

I'm drawing a bit of a long bow here,but I'm quite sure a Bronco scored a try off of a forward pass in the GF v the Cows.

In all competitions,shit simply happens,especially in Rugby League.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Klemmer was good in his limited minutes, RCG inconspicuous in his first stint, but better in his second, Vaughan was average.

Vaughan went as well as every debutant bench prop in Origin.

He'll be better for the run and yet still did his job just fine.
