2018 Origin II - NSW 18-14 QLD @ ANZ

[Mr Angry]

One thing we can all agree on...Cordner is a myth and a plodder

No.

I do not agree.

 

[ed-grimley]

If we win on Sunday it means Cleary won his first Origin series not only in his first attempt, but at a younger age than Mitchell Pearce was in his first

As long as Maloney's there to hold his hand.

 

[King hit]

It's all becoming tiresome with Cordner

We're in the age of social media trolls who've got nothing better than saying the same thing over again. Rather than supporting the state, I'm sure these guys would rather see the bloke fail just so they can say I told you so

It is seriously ridiculous. He was good in game 1 always putting his hand up for a run and came up with the most meters for a NSW forward. Hopefully he can enter the class of Toovey, Fittler, Daley, Mortimer etc as a series winning captain tomorrow night.

 

[ed-grimley]

Nah

Even dumbarse Queenslanders don't bag their own players when a series win is on the cards.

Pearce had Maloney last year. Only game we won was the one where Pearce went off injured at the exact moment we started playing decent footy.

Cleary could end up being shit for NSW. Its still a huge upgrade on Pearce.

No.

You do not count

He's shit. ..i'm not about to kid myself here. There are better players available

 

[OldPanther]

Why are Panthers fans so obsessed with Cordner? He was good in Game 1.

Trolling mostly.

 

[GongPanther]

If NSW win Sunday he can write his own narrative.

Send him to the Galapagos Islands.

 

[GongPanther]

Nsw by 12

Oh great. Another 12 series in a row for Qld.

 

[TheFrog]

He was good in game 1 always putting his hand up for a run and came up with the most meters for a NSW forward.

He also played the most minutes. He's Gallen with a bum chin, very peculiar for a second rower and not his role at Easts. If that was the game plan then he had a good game but its an odd game plan. If taking hit-ups Taumalolo style is to be his role, he should be competing for the 13, and have genuine wide runners in the 11 and 12. This is more a criticism of Fittler and his game plan than of Cordner, who clearly has a huge motor.

 

[GongPanther]

Origin on Sunday night blows

....king oath. Is it a long weekend? If not,it should have been on tonight (Sat).

 

[GongPanther]

He played OK. Didn't see anything that warranted any criticism.

Penrith supporter I'm guessing?

TV ratings, baby.

 

[GongPanther]

TV ratings, baby.

If the SOO was played tonight, the Belguim V Tunisia WC would have clashed at the end of the SOO,being the preview would have been on and not the match itself.

So for tomorrow,the brains trust who is in charge of scheduling,have the match up against the England V Panama preview. This potentially has the SOO losing quite a number of viewers probably not so much in Australia,but in England and other parts of the world in pubs and other venues.

I wonder how many ex-pats around the world will be watching the last 10 minutes of tomorrow's SOO game,only for it to be changed over to the soccer coverage?

There was never ever going to be a Saturday Origin

Im hoping NSW is up by 20 with 10 to go so I can switch the merkin over...

Seriously, what’s your obsession with Pearce?

Sounds like you’re worried Cleary might not perform to the level of the 9th immortal you’ve compared him to so you’re getting in a heap of stabs at Pearce early to soften it.

Don’t worry so much. Clearly will be fine and get away with doing SFA like he did in game 1 with the luxury of not being against Smith/Thurston/Cronk/Slater like every single other NSW half in the past decade (your mate Pearce included) didn’t have.

Seriously I feel sorry for Pearce. Poor bloke has finally found some peace this year but there are still dickheads that go after him at Origin time despite the fact that NSW were never going to win many games with Smith/Thurston/Cronk/Slater steering the ship for Qld regardless of who was in the halves.
