2021 Origin II - QLD 0-26 NSW @ Suncorp

[Ron's_Mate]

I think Green has made some terrible decisions with his team selections and he is in debt to Thurston for even being a premiership winning coach but the Mulitalo thing.. he played all his junior footy for QLD, it's not a scenario like James "Aussie Jim" Tamou

Fair enough, but probably no one outside Qld ever bothered to check his suitability when it was the juniors. Green just looked like a clueless whinger when his line of reasoning was that what was stated in club contracts carries some sort of weight as to whether the guy is actually eligible or not.

And he seemed completely perplexed when the reporter tried to clarify for him

Perplexed passion

I can see nsw dominating for next 3 or 4 years then qlnd will have the likes of grant, walker, Coates, Walsh, Fifita etc in their prime and dictating terms.

Lol @ verbose DCE running in to a scuffle to offer words of four syllables and higher

"I say you grotty little man, you're asking for a bunch of fives!"

Turns out that "worst ever QLD team" was a year too early.

Can't remember a more dominant opening two games from a side.

I can't even hate on NSW, Trbojevic and Mitchell are awesome to watch. It's rare you see centres carve up these days like they have done.

I think they can do a clean sweep up here too, which will be humiliating. Imo Paul Green deserves that.

The person who turns this into a banner and takes it to Game 3 deserves a lifetime supply of New. Make it happen.

Imagine this nsw side playing that champion qld side. Would’ve been something to behold

Thing is the rules are different.

Most of the older origin games had wrestle and niggling and facials and grubby shit in every tackle.

Except the rules are black and white and he didn't tick all the boxes. Queensland couldn't be as incompetent as to not know this. They were just hoping he would fall through the cracks before it was too late. Just as they did with Greg Inglis who didn't qualify but was discovered before it was too late.

Mulitalo spent less than 20% of his life in Queensland and only lived there a few years in his late teens between being born and raised in New Zealand and moving to NSW. Tamou was 13 when he moved to Australia... same age as Mulitalo. Only he did it before they brought in rules to try and stop imports representing either state. Tamou would not be eligible today for the same reason.

Putting 50 on Queensland in Queensland was sweet. Keeping Queensland to 0 at Lang Park and wrapping up the series 2-0 in Queensland is even sweeter. NEW SOUTH f**kING WALES!!!!!

Simplest NSW series victory ever?

Simplest series victory ever.

Letting Turbo talk is not helping me maintain the erection that he caused.

This is me listening to Alana Ferguson

I got quite a number of downvotes on reddit for saying that I thought this series would be much different then last year. I’ve been proven correct once again.

Would love to see some of the comments from the people downvoting you.

If they weren't wearing different jackets I could almost swear this was one person...

I’m red red raw, so so worth it.

Now for some trolling of my sooky two headed work mates.

I can just hear their replies “ BuT BuT BuT wE WoN 8 iN a RoW!!!!

 

[betcats]

I think it’s time to relocate qld

I think that was Fatty.

...and a team in Maroon allowed to play offside in 'd' for entire games. That used to be their greatest advantage (that and Mitchell Pearce in the halves for years on end).

Fatty says Qld needs centres.

NSW praying they keep Gags there for the next 5 years.

Stay loyal QLD.
