There goes the NSW home ground refereeing advantage.

Watch the NRL never give Newcastle another Origin match again to compensate...

If we're fair dinkum, in 2022 Sydney should get one game and Newcastle should get one game.

Qld got the Decider (TM) last year with the state premier ever so conveniently announcing stadiums would be allowed at full capacity as of the night before the game. Qld (as of next week) have had the last 4 Origin games in a row.

So if they want to complain about missing out on a home game next year, tough. If the boot was strapped onto the other foot and NSW (for whatever reason) had hosted the last 4 Origin games in a row, Qld would be making lots of noise about getting reimbursed.

The only thing that could make NSW sweeping this series better is if, after f/t, Gladys appears on the big screen to congratulate the Blues and entire stadium boos. Say whatever you like about the respective state governments and I don't want to drag this thread into 4C territory, but at least the Qld government does all kinds of manoeuvring for the benefit of the Origin team. If Brisbane was in the middle of a lockdown a couple of weeks ago, I could totally believe Anastasia would've found some kind of loophole to allow Suncorp to be 100% full for Origin night before placing SEQ under house arrest 24 hours afterwards. I'm finding it difficult to believe there was no logistical way the game couldn't go ahead in Newcastle with a (COVID-free) passionate local crowd getting to see Origin football live as they do richly deserve, but Gladys and her mob seem insistent on putting the fist down no matter what...

When he quits as NSW coach we should make Freddy the Premier. Shoeless work days and taxpayer funded meditation retreats here we come!

If NSW manage to clean sweep the series it will be one of the most bizzare and memorable achievements ever.
Imagine...

3 games in Qld

Stupidly lopsided penalty counts to Qld in each game

NSW 3-0

A familiar female face with close-set eyes appearing on the screen afterwards during the trophy presentation only for the boos to ring out

Ectoplasm. Ectoplasm everywhere...

What would make that even better if Pearce was picked instead of Moses. NSW achieve the clean sweep and they send Thurston to interview Pearce proudly holding the shield above his head, cracking open a tooheys and he starts rubbing it in thurstons face then JT slinks away to backtrack on his previous comments.

So let me get this straight-

After Game 3 was moved to Newcastle on account of it being COVID safe, a few days later the NSW government then orders it to be moved (despite there being no new cases in the region) for safety purposes, despite restrictions on ticket purchases and attendees.

The game is moved to the Gold Coast, where there are a few active COVID cases.

Am I missing something here?

NSW will set any number of new records against the hapless, pashon-less and stat dec-less QLD.

3 away wins, most series tries, points, aggregate margin and individual tries.

And the QLD fans have paid for all of it... great heights to shitful lows for that state.

A lot on the line here.

If NSW win origin is dead.

If Queensland win it will be the greatest upset by the biggest underdog in the history of the universe and will all about passion, the Queensland spirit and pride in the maroon jumper and will prove NSW don't get origin.

People from Sydney would have took their chances on the road or the train, next thing Newcastle is crawling with it and people are whinging deluxe. Better to be safe than sorry.

Gladolf Barahitlerken made sure QLD have every chance to avoid the blue wash. They f**ken suck if they can’t win this. Moses and wighton are the blues halves combo ffs.
