2023 Origin I - Wed 31 May - NSW 18-26 QLD @ Adelaide

[Generalzod]

Ben Hunt gets paid more per game at the Dragons than at QLD but he always plays well for QLD.

i guess it’s Tax free…lol

Tedesco:

 

[hineyrulz]

Only player who's gained more yardage with ball in hand for NSW is Brian To'o (121m to 108 m for Tedesco). No other NSW player has more than 72m (namely Turbo) whilst the best of the NSW forwards has 60m (namely Haas).

Who cares, he’s been a handbrake in attack all night. He’s Gallen but from fullback. Murdered a try because he refused to pass. He’s lost a yard and he’s nowhere near the player he was 3 or 4 years ago.

Tells us nothing without derp or baldness.

No score for official blunders either.

I can tell the game is going to denigrate into rubbish and panic, and ffs, I’m all for it.

 

[THE CHAMP]

You'll get more from a kiwi crowd

If only they could afford to buy a game

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Matt Thompson commentary is an absolute chore.

Zero energy in the stadium. Diabolical decision to again take a game away from NSW

Can't believe I miss Rabs and Gould

I agree.

Can't believe we sell our showpiece to substandard stadiums. Pathetic really

 

[SBD82]

Oh yes, cause Frizzell passed to Addo-Carr didn't he. So did Crichton to To'o..... but yeah, let's only mention Teddy's cause we want to give it to him

Chrichton and Friz aren’t expected to be ball players or decision makers.

 

[Canard]

Api with 5 missed tackles, in the team dominating possession.

He is putting together a under rated hot steamer.

 

[84 Baby]

Matt Thompson commentary is an absolute chore.

WHATS WRONG WITH MATT THOMPSON?

“ITS A KNOCK ON. OH ACTUALLY ITS GONE BACK OFF THE ATTACKING PLAYER.”

 

[mxlegend99]

Considering half of the Blues play for the same side you’d think they’d be less clunky in attack.

Except all the right edge players got dumped on the left edge in Origin. Martin, Crichton and To'o are right edge players at Penrith.

Fox is a left edge player at Bulldogs. Turbo is a fullback.

SO ofcourse everyone is playing out of their club position. Why would you keep the Cleary / Martin / Crichton / To'o defensive edge in tact, keep Fox in his preferred position and play the fullback at left centre when you can have everyone out of position?


Martin obviously scored on the left edge. But Murray could have run that line too.

 

[Captain Apollo]

I don't think comparing Teddy to Crichton and Frizzel is the winning argument you think

Oh , ok, so they get a pass mark then do they? If either had passed to their unmarked winger they'd have scored.

Also let's not mention how many passes from Penrith players went behind or to the ground, and not into the supporting player's hands either. But yeah, that's all Teddy's fault. Everyone else has been perfect.

You ok love ? Do you need a tampon ?

he’s been awful

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Fittler has got no f**king idea.

 

[GongPanther]

Still think that NSW will bruise Qld in this half then puttin on the scoring from the 15 to 20 min mark.

 

[hineyrulz]

He’s a fullback of course he’s got metres. He’d be almost 200 if he didn’t f**ken squid sideways and get in the way

Squid he he he

 

[sharkie23]

Enough with this talking to coaches during the game crap

 

[Captain Apollo]

According to NRL app it is teddy 127m to'o 112m

See my post above your as I posted the stats from Fox Sports. They had 108 for Teddy.

 

[Cowboyz]

NSW really missing Talakai’s presence out there

 

[Captain Apollo]

Yes cause Frizell's pass to an unmarked Addo-Carr saw a great try. Same for Crichton to To'o.... oh, wait a minute, we can only say that about Teddy's non-pass as the others all have to be ignored cause it doesn't fit the narrative.

 

[This Year?]

I'd kill to have a To'o in my team.
