2022 State of Origin - Game 1 - Wed 8 June

[hindy111]

I think Cook’s done at this level. I’m just not sure if API improves us

He looked off. But all the luck went QLDs way and key NSW players had poor games. They still only just lost. I wouldn't panic.
Tariff Sims is probably the only guy I'd flick for Jake T.

 

[Snoochies]

10 years ago I'd be livid losing to QLD, God knows it happened alot......now I just don't really care. Was a good game to watch. Moses might want to have a blinder on Monday.

 

[Chipmunk]

Surely we get at least 2 of our 3 back for the next split round now.

 

[hindy111]

I thought Martin went ok. He is there to tackle hard.
Yeo went ok considering he got concussed first tackle
Cleary qnd Luai were bustled all night and well below what they are capable of
Too was quiet. Tupou took a heap more strong carries
Crichton meh

RCG was our best middle bigman by far
Matto didnt do alot
Barlow was all over the place, some good some bad

Wighton was our best, tho not many chances as game went on
Teddy came good at the end but was kept quiet most the game

Toò ran for over 200 mtrs.
Jnrs dissalowed try, Yeo going within an inch, tedddy kick that Cleary was close to getting. We where not that bad. Nothing went our way.

Yeo was great.....Critchton is overated. Martins a good player in a great team. Otherwise wouldn't be there.

Yeo was far from great. Crichton tried to provide impact and failed. If you’re going to pick him you need to play him as your starting centre and let him build into the game. No arguments about Martin. I also thought Murray was poor but probably deserves to keep his spot.
I thought it was a massive mistake picking Sims and that was justified. His poor form at the dragons simply carried over to the origin arena. Angus Crighton is a must for game 2 in his spot, Latrell comes in for probably Stags, Hynes comes in for Crichton at 14 and I guess either Martin keeps his spot or Matto plays on the edge off the bench and possibly Jake T comes on the bench.

In the end, i reckon if you take Munster out of that queensland team we probably win .... prick

Yes. Why have a centre on bench. Lane is better then Sims.

We weren’t that bad but we have players with that kind of game in them. You’d hope that wouldn’t happen at the same time again but it’s definitely concerning.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Not to begrudge Queensland because they deserved to win I think but does origin feel a bit like WWE in that maybe the refs know it should be close?

 

[Happy MEel]

Neither should be anywhere near origin.

 

[Gazzamatta]

They want it much more Strider. Carrigan is a player

Carrigan V Hass. I know which player Id prefer.

 

[Gazzamatta]

That was Cleary’s worst Origin, and he’s had a few shockers. He was the worst on field by some way.

Ruan gave him the 3 points.

 

[JokerEel]

Paulo didnt play many minutes... Fittler has gone to the BA school of coaching..

Barlow was shit. He brought in the fancy mentality before the hard stuff first

Yep. Absolutely no reason for Junior not to be on the field when we’re down and chasing points.

 

[Gherkin]

What’s the point of picking Tupou if you don’t kick to him?

 

[JokerEel]

Barlow was shit. He brought in the fancy mentality before the hard stuff first

Its because Fittler tried to play the Panther style of footy and having Paulo and Matto who can offload wont work..

 

[yy_cheng]

Matto didn't throw 1 offload

 

[Gazzamatta]

What an outstanding effort by Gallen in the NSW Shed post game. Ffs.
