2018 Origin III - QLD 18-12 NSW @ Suncorp

[Vee]

You mean Dragons choke?

Hunt and Sins were trying to outchoke each other. Refs decided Hunt would benefit from it though.

Keep fighting amongst yourselves.

Gone for QLD - hooker, Wallace, Chambers

Cook was my choice too

At stages yes but still needs to learn to get involved more often. I mean tonight you would have had to send the search party half the game.

Yes I was talking about the series, the game didn't come his way tonight.

Mate there where 2 teams playing and only one getting the penalties lol

You NSW merkins really can't understand that NSW can't win every 50/50 call and every penalty count. FFS you were gifted a try off a Maloney forward pass in game 1 and a penalty try in game 2.

Probably been said but that was the most enjoyable game by far this year.

According to Buzz Origin was in crisis because the fans were turning away (tv and Lang Pk not soldout), and the standard was slipping because we needed more overseas talent introduced. Outcome:

1. Close to the best origin game to watch I have seen.
2. Sell out at Lang Park with 5k tickets being sold overnight.
3. Not seen tv ratings but I bet they beat Hey Hey its Saturday you old merkin...

Worse. Definitely worse.

Says a lot

 

[Life's Good]

Don’t be silly that cat couldn’t win even if it started yesterday

Best on ground? Did he win a flag?

 

[lockyno1]

Yeah, common sense would say Cordner, plus the bloke is NSW captain. This issue is halfwit QLD fans like you argue stupid descision like Slater winning player of the series, when you know deep down he didn’t.

I wouldn’t have given it to Slater but I sort of understand it to a degree.

Apart from Cordner who was outstanding the whole series? Tedesco was great game 1, then meh after. Cook was pretty good although quieter games 2 and 3.

I would have given it to Cordner personally

Lol, i dont think we will. However, we will be taking the shield home where it belongs

 

[Vee]

Now for the farce of receiving the trophy after losing the match.

The series was won in Sydney. Had it out then

I've always disagreed with this. The shield should be presented at the winner's choice.

I'd say Crichton as well. Although being at the Roosters next year will help his chances.

I know.

It really is f**king terrible beer.

Remember when Rhys McLeod eased his mount Mystic Outlaw down passing the winning post on the first occasion before the harsh realisation kicked in that there was still about 1600m to run in a 3000m race at Moonee Valley,that's what Tariq Sims did to Ben Hunt with 25 mins remaining

What do you expect when they name the award after that dribbling genius.

If they want it to be taken seriously they should name it after a true origin hero like Tim Brasher

 

[mxlegend99]

Cleary as a halfback did nothing all series and you know it, he came up with some good defensive plays but is that why he was in the side?

He was as good as Pearce was, difference now is that we are in a transitional phase

Cleary went a whole series without negative match losing plays.

That is better than any Pearce series ever. Although that's about the lowest bar we could set. Being better than the worst halfback ever.

 

[Spade]

Prediction - C Smith will make a comeback next year, Broncos number 9 is shit and no one else putting there hand up

Mate if you cant see that was all planned then you are blind.

The whole presentation being about Billy at the end was a dead giveaway. They had it planned from the start.

Although NSW nearly ruined the party with great defence.

The funniest one was the not played at call......the ref said " we interpret them differently"...mmmm nah mate you dont

Cam could so why cant we?

We need a Mitchell Pearce award for who sucked the most!

James Roberts put in a brave effort but Ben Hunt wins!
