2020 Origin I - QLD 18-14 NSW @ Adelaide

[THE CHAMP]

I’m sure the qld pashun will kick in shortly

Called it

 

[Reflector]

ray warren might retire very zoon

All The Narratives rolled out like clockwork:

"Qld are doing an Origin ________ here"

"NSW/ Qld are out on their feet here"

"NSW/ Qld are in full control"

"How many times have we seen this over the years?"

 

[butchmcdick]

That full time being called was a bit of a joke. QLD should've been penalised for holding on and the ball was played in time anyway.

If this felt like a real origin game id be filthy rather than slightly annoyed. QLD deserved to win. NSW picked a shit team by choice. QLD were forced into it. Panthers benhcie Capewell at centre outplayed the top 2 Dally M leaderboard players at centre. Wighton and Gutho were easily outclassed by joke players.

Aside from a few QLD players that second half you couldn't say anyone played well.

capewell was rock solid

Who knew he was that good

Hello my Broncos Friend!

We've missed you!

There's something charitable about being able to make poor, downtrodden plebians smile every so often.

 

[Artiste]

Lol Johns is saying drop Keary.

Drop another pinga Joey

 

[Nerd]

Queensland forward pack simply awesome.

Welch, Papalii, Arrow, Collins, Tino are going to be our Origin warriors for years to come. If only we could rid Hess and bring in Fifita for the rest of this series.

Collins was the pick of the punch for mine in this game but all were fantastic.

I thought Welch was the best forward on the field. Took the hard runs in the middle and made good ground each run.

 

[Vee]

One of the sweetest victories of all.

#Spiritof95!!!

NSW: We're down to 15!

QLD: We had to pick Capewell!

Checkmate.

He was great tonight
So many clowns thinking they had it in the bag. This thread is epic

 

[The_Frog]

Cleary is the most over rated and under criticised 7 in the game

I'm thinking you can't have read this game thread.

 

[shear_joy9]

I can't wait to make a gif of cleary falling over when fox show the replay

 

[soc123_au]

I think nsw would have won that if clearly was dropped before kickoff and they played with 12.

he wouldn't even be in the nrl if his dad wasn't a coach

Where did he touch you?

 

[THE CHAMP]

That QLD fight and that all that crap

Nailed it

 

[Vee]

Going to bed for an early night and reading this thread
Can’t wait

Xavier Coates is one of the most awkward players you'll ever see. How he is playing Origin is beyond me.

Still?

Freddy:

"I'll pick the fullback of the year at center, the 5/8 and dally m winner at centre and captain pudding brain"

AND a bloke from the wooden spooners on the bench. AND a forward pack dominated by players who haven't played a game in over a month. AND a specialist 5/8 on the bench.

 

[THE CHAMP]

i predict, 34 - 18

You didn’t say to whom

 

[THE CHAMP]

I wish. Wayne apparently is the master of halftime speeches and has something to work with or some crap

Um?

Agree with all that. I'm a Cowboys fan and didn't want Hess anywhere near the squad, let alone a starter. I thought Arrow should have started with Tino off the bench as he does for Melbourne, and I was right.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Ah yes. The “yippy-yippy-yi” song. Thank you.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Just not enough Panther Smug.

Freddy loaded up NSW with red hot players from 2017.

It’s like he’s being chugging beers with Mary since he was sacked.

He treated the dark hearted evil Queenslanders with disrespect and they bent the drunken lout over.

We’ve been humiliated. We deserve it.
