2018 Origin II - NSW 18-14 QLD @ ANZ

[Vic Mackey]

Anyone saying that wasn’t a penalty try is a moron. Cordner had time to take a dump and he still would have got their first.

TBF though it is Cordner. Decent chance he does a hammy before he gets to the ball

 

[Tommy Smith]

Frankly the bigger issue that is being ignored by the commentators is the lack of a binning. That's a fantastic result for QLD.

I'm happy with that.

I don't know the rule but to me it's either a penalty try or a sin bin - both would be way too harsh.

Anyone saying that wasn’t a penalty try is a moron. Cordner had time to take a dump and he still would have got their first. Or do we just reward cheating play and not punish it?

Diving is cheating. It got rewarded. You just argued against your own point.

Refs 12-10 Qld at half time. Sutton in particular has been huge for NSW.

Come on Skeep stop exaggerating

When Warren said 'I wonder what those who dismissed Origin in 1980 think about it now' I was saying 'ask Bozo', the biggest sook of them all at the time. He then had the cheek to be in the NSW coaches box for several years, the complete hypocrite.

I’m Blue through and through but I still would very much like to punch Gallen in the face pretty much all the time

You'd just break your hand

 

[Xcalibre]

Ryan James would have been the better choice

Not sure but def better than Prior. They need more than one prop that just runs straight and hard (Klemmer). My only ? of James is he lumbers to the line and we've seen players constantly fail at this level when they run like that.

 

[King hit]

2 try assists for Maloney he is the key in the second half. He has done it before in grand finals and here is his chance to do it for his state

 

[Meth]

Why wasn’t Hunt binned?

because a penalty try was awarded

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Thurston and Lewis saying it shouldn't have been a penalty try.. Dumb merkins

 

[Spot On]

Sterlo schooling poor ol Wally on the penalty try.

 

[DC_fan]

Great half.

Slater showing his absolute class, he has been involved in everything good QLD have done all game.

The greatest player of all time

 

[Vic Mackey]

Spit balling here.
Does origin feel like the try's are dominated by wingers? Feels like it to me without looking at the stats.
What's driving that? Is the middle defence that good that it has to go through the hands to try for an overlap?
3 tries, 1 disallowed try.. All wingers.

With such little time together the main attacking structure is the basic second man play that all teams do. Unless it’s from a bit of individual brilliance chances are it will be a winger from that play.

Freddie looks like he is giving a poetry reading.

Wally Lewis is an immortal and doesn't know the rules of the game.

 

[King hit]

People on facebook etc crying about the penalty try

It was the correct call you gronks

[Hutty1986]

NSW has been poor so they've done very well to get back into this. Forwards need to fcking wake up and do their job. Vaughn starting to really work his way into the contest and will just get better. We will need at least 2 or 3 more tries to have any chance in this second half. It's going to be game over for nsw unless our wingers start trusting their centres.

 

[BranVan3000]

Why is Freddy dressing himself like Steve Jobs?

It wouldve been correct if it was QLD but
