2021 Origin III - NSW 18-20 QLD @ Cbus Super

[stryker]

Tbf to Jack, it's obvious he's been told to do that. You listen to Brandy on Fox or Joey tonight and I've zero doubt they screamed at him all week to just run it. Dunno what was up with Teddy though.

If so, that is a braindead game plan.
Feed your centre’s and win comfortably

f**ken sook lol

You miss the last sentence?

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Exactly …. Dead rubber is pointless

I’m all for a 3rd game even if the series has been won. Unlike other sports… it still means so much to either state (team etc).

just present the winning team with the shield after the game that they’ve actually won the series with … not like tonight - that’s absolutely wank IMO.

 

[stryker]

Lol Joey just said that Lockyer looks like the Boston Strangler

 

[mave]

What's with OJ Lockyer and the black gloves?

 

[stryker]

You won the series. Don’t spoil it by sulking.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

LOL Moses after this game

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Yeah, they should just step aside and leave everyone alone. Idiot.

You missed my point. Idiot.

 

[t-ba]

Latrell's happy because you can still dine in at KFCs in QLD.

I am very jealous.

Hand transplant to go with his hair transplant

 

[myrrh ken]

Lord Ted back to his ball hogging best. Left his passing game back in games 1 and 2

The halves pairing tonight isn't a patch on the incumbent pairing, and the decision to kick for goal when a kick for touch and 6 again in the ripe end of the field would've posed far more of a threat was dumb dumb dumb

Qld's forward presence was better tonight for sure as well

But FMD we're never seeing another white wash are we? You're kidding yourself if you think the final score is an accurate reflection on the game.

This is the kind of rubbish I was talking about before the series- of the ref interfering in the game doing everything possible to orchestrate a result. Qld got away with lying all over the Blues players tonight because we couldn't have NSW winning 3-0 could we? Couldn't even sell out a 25k capacity stadium after losing the series.

The silver lining is that Paul Green goes around again next season...

Precisely the same thing happened last time a state went for a clean sweep. It was Tedesco's debut. Moylan, playing at 6, fed him the ball all night and Qld kept tackling him. NSW won that one narrowly after similar reffing to tonight, only the other way.

 

[dogz08]

Joey is peaking right now..

 

[pantherz9103]

Well a Blues clean sweep just wasn't in the script this year. Not a single home game and injured star halves replaced by a couple of muppets in Game 3 made it a bridge too far. Hunt and Ponga are the ultimate deliver when it doesn't really matter kind of players as well. Blues still won 94-26 which is a For and Against record!

Exactly.

Like I'm always happy when the shield comes home, but when they try so hard to pull a certain result as opposed to letting the game play out it irks me.

 

[stryker]

Bahahahaahaha DCE booed by his own people.

No. There’s very few QLDers live on the Goldie.
Its full of expats

 

[Hutty1986]

I guess a St Merge fan would know

A souffs fan hurling insults about underperforming is delightful

 

[GongPanther]

Unpopular opinion but I wouldn't have Freddy coaching the side. The team has enough talent to mostly coach itself and imo Fittler gets selections wrong more often than not. Like, why wouldn't you just have Reynolds and Walker when they're 1. In better form and 2. Would have formed the entire Souffs spine combination along with Cook and Latrell.

He really is blind Freddy.

If it came to a point that the NSWRL board thought there had to be a change of coach, you'd have to pick Brandy who I think has a more logical and serious approach to the game than Fittler.

But in saying that, we still won the series, and there is no need for a change when you think that NSW were severely hampered by not having Cleary and Luai at hand, although it was a big mistake in not picking the Souths halves.

 

[stryker]

Don’t think there’s any need for a third game if the series is decided … obv revenue but why bother ?

[ChocOConnor]

I don’t know if I watched the same game but Ponga was good but I thought hunt was MOM. The way Johns and his channel 9 cartel are going on Ponga was slater and Cameron Smith all rolled into one.
