Parody isn't your thing?

Boo f**king hoo.

 

[lockyno1]

Not a Luai fan. The guy can play but when the pressures on he makes really poor decisions.

was still better than four chins Cleary

 

[Pippen94]

The media love Jake and talk him up so idiots think he's good. Plod city

Blues had some slow guys in middle

 

[lockyno1]

Fledger smashing the beers down lol

 

[The Lounge Lizard]

Turn the sound down, picture naked. Quite the specimen.

Sorry.

Nah.

Is Nate Myles suffering from gigantism?

Cleary got rinsed in Game 1, praised after Game 2 and is now getting rinsed again. On another day his chip kick pays off and he is right now getting praised as a clutch player. You can all but mark PENRITH!!! down to go back to back unless injuries wreck them. He'll be determined to make a statement from here the rest of this season.

Game 2 QLD were out on their feet. The NSW pack simply rolled QLD and they just simply couldn't hold on. Cleary played well but it was all done hill. Moses would have had a field day in the same position.

You don't need a half who can help you run away with a game where you're absolutely dominating. These tight games are where the halves shine more than ever and frankly the NSW pair went missing when it counted. Go back through the QLD golden years and watch how they played out, time and time again it was the key play makes who turned the tides in the close games.

NSW ultimately suffering from the captain's ball hog syndrome that seems to get into the habit of every NSW captain.

Tedesco taking a lead right out of Paul Gallen's book. Hey he makes 200 meters, so just run it up the middle and hope something happens. Has lost the speed to make a clean break anymore so just run, run run. Forget about passing

For the most part, there was either nobody backing Teddy up, or we thought the unstructured ad-lib ball play was going to do its work.

Whatever the case may be, that is another SOO series done, and it's insignificance will be put in it's right place when the arse end of the comp starts from this weekend.

Even then, a player like JT would go awfully quiet if the Maroons forward pack was dominated.

They didn't get much of a chance to get any rhythm tonight (especially in the second half) because of errors that killed off that momentum when NSW were coming out of their half.

Result of inbreeding.

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Frustrating that for the second time in 3 series, ultimately it comes down to controversial calls in Game 1 (with Kaufusi holding down and time-wasting in the dying seconds on both occasions) in deciding who wins the thing.

Ben Hunt must be the happiest/ most relieved guy in RL tonight. Maybe at last some Broncos fans will get off his back about 2015?

On the Panthers, I understand the logic in wanting to have the core players from the NRL front-runners in your Origin team. The Storm connection literally won series for Qld during their 8-year run.

I disagree that Tupou's knock-on changed the game. There was over an entire half of football still to follow. Ultimately what worked for Qld was the amount of attacking opportunities they had within 20 metres of the NSW try line, and it paid off for them. NSW turned over too much football coming out of their half when a more conservative approach was needed (Critter WTF- no need to force that offload!) There were also a couple of 50/50 calls (Talakai ruled to not have played the ball correctly when he was pushed) that didn't help either. I can understand the logic in wanting to keep the same (or near the same) squad as the one who put the cleaners through Qld in Game 2, but all candidates being fit next year I'd expect to see Latrell and Turbo back.

Not sure if Freddy is already signed for next year? If so, I am willing to give him another series and see how it goes with the aforementioned players back and available. For the slating they are copping here (as inevitably comes regardless of who loses the Origin games) NSW were excellent in defence tonight, especially on their line, and showed real resolve. On another night that gets them home.

In a nutshell (and yes I've had a couple):

Tonight Qld did just enough to get the points they needed and showed grit. NSW squandered possession (especially in the second half) and then were unlucky in the dying minutes with the Hunt charge-down on Cleary's kick.

Fk that, shitler needs to go now.
so what he wins with Latrell and Turbo back next year, which coach can’t win with them two in their team?

 

[Pippen94]

What is everybody complaining about?! Great game tonight

 

[mave]

Boo f**king hoo.

Eat a dick, cocksmoker.

 

[GongPanther]

Lol you said the same crap after game 1.

Teddy was far and away NSW best tonight and it wasn't even close. He constantly had QLD on the back foot, breaking tackles and making quick play the balls. Not his fault the dogshit halves couldn't do anything with it.

Come on Val, you know the halves are basically cannon fodder when the forwards were outplayed. Both teams put on a great game of footbal and someone had to lose, end of.

Not having ball for most of half hurt most

The Penrith halves

Joey if for nothing else so we don’t hear from the bloke

 

[Pippen94]

The Penrith halves

Having to create shit from own half isn't eaay

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

And replace him with who?

ANY FKING BODY. ITS SO FKING SIMPLE
