2022 Origin II - Sun 26 Jun - NSW 44-12 QLD @ Optus

[GongPanther]

No response. predictable.

I went out to celebrate. Just simply trust someone when it's stated. I do have form in here of picking correct scores.

 

[GongPanther]

PENRITH once again carrying this fine state to a win

Lets wait for 3 weeks until we can celebrate a TEAM win.

 

[GongPanther]

They'll take offence to that.

They'll take it personally.

Next game, NSW beat their arses and put 50 on them...

NSW needed that first half to sort combos together. And as evident as it turned out to be, it all clicked in the second half. In fact, if NSW keep that same side and have the mentality that they have from this game, I honesty don't see Qld getting close to us. In fact, I predict a very bad loss for the Maroons in game three.

Freddy and the coaching staff did brilliant work with this side and should be applauded.

 

[GongPanther]

Is that a grand or a mil you won?

Eleven hundred.

 

[hineyrulz]

Just how a Stark must always be in Winterfell, a Trbojevic must be in the NSW team.

Baldness is coming.

 

[hineyrulz]

Cam Smith digging in his ear.

He probably found another contract in there.

 

[kdalymc]

I hope they have an international round set aside, so teams like Tonga and Samoa get their big names actually playing for them and not being forced to make a decision based on which game brings them more money

Yep.
The scheduling was f**ken stupid.
Also bring back the kangaroos. Mal quit the maroons to coach the Aussie for what, for one game every 4 years, awesome....

Classic Qld. They win by 6, NSW don't get origin. They get belted and didn't play badly, NSW just disrespected them.

There is no doubt the sin binning before half-time completely swung the game and there is also no doubt this game was ref'd differently compared to Game 1, what Fittler said in the post-match from Game 1 definitely played a role

The "experts" all agreed the sin-binning was unwarranted, both NSW and QLD experts

Unwarranted? It was the 4th penalty for slowing the ruck on the Qld tryline in about 90 seconds. If positions were reversed you'd be fine with it.

Game failed to deliver again, that’s two we’ve had and both been blow outs. At least the weather was much kinder this time, Stadium is amazing and the crowd was very loud. Grinspoon was ok and the welcome to country and anthem went down well. Transport a doddle to and from the stadium even with 60k getting trains. Enjoyed the night but wasn’t really worth the $450 it cost for me and the Mrs to attend But we did our little bit to help sell it out once again and hopefully shut up the doubters on if perth could sustain an nrl club.

Predominantly focusing on the negative. I'm shocked. Shocked!

Thought Munster had a pretty decent crack for Queensland. Idk they just got smashed in the forwards. Slater didn't help with his bench management

Ultimately if he doesn't think papalii is good enough to play 40 minutes or whatever (and I'd disagree) he shouldn't pick him. He left his forwards to die sticky style

A victim of circumstance. Jai Arrow and Collins off for HIA for 15mins and Kaufusi binned. In game one it was the Coates injury that hurt the rotation.

You can't burn an interchange for Big Papi when he isn't going to be capable of playing big minutes.

 

[Canard]

Genuine question, when is the last time a NSW player was sin binned in Origin?

Genuine question; did you not think that Kafusi deserved to be binned. He stood there for 5 seconds with his hands on Pauli’s back, AND THEN, decided to fall on top of him. After three previous team infractions in the same movement.

I guess turning around your initial question. Can you think of a similar, cynical act by a Blues player over the past 5 years which didn’t get binned?

Yeah well I picked the score too and put more money on it!

Take my word for it.

 

[Mr Angry]

Lol,

44-12

But, but the ref.

Much egg to wipe away in this thread.

 

[Sphagnum]

Ponga is surely getting called out for his defensive ‘efforts’ last night

[Smug Panther]

So has not one player from NSW has committed an offence worthy of a sin bin for what a decade? 2 decades? Genuine question.

I think that's a credit to there team ethos and morals, that they are such cleanskins.

Lol you salty merkin

I’m happy for you to point one out?
You are just perpetuating this myth that is peddled by those cynical coaches (like Robbo and Sticky) that teach their players to deliberately foul and then demand the referees to provide ‘even’ penalty counts/sin bins etc. Its not the refs job to even out their calls; it’s their job to adjudicate the rules and penalise teams within the laws. Of that means one team gets penalised and punished more because they don’t play to the rules, then so be it.

We get about 50 minutes out of Tapine and Papalii a game. Papalii looking like a bowling ball makes people think he's an impact forward but he's a metre getter for us.

Sin bins are never good but getting it before half time means the team gets a break in the middle of it and come out fresh for the last 6 or so minutes. I thought they would’ve been made of sterner stuff tbh. It certainly wouldn’t have bothered the 2006-13 teams.

I congratulate NSW for there sportsmanship and refusal to bend the rules. It's great to see.
