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

[Fangs]

That attack stopped every tie Teddy got the ball.

The only time Tom was involved was when he ran out wide left.

Not good enough especially without Latrell. We needed to involve him more.

 

[Apey]

Slater is embarrassing fittler. I don't know how the guy can just keep rocking up to get wrecked by Billy slater

Slater is smart tbf. Freddy is a space cadet.

Our spine besides Api sucked and Trbo is done.

 

[skeepe]

Panthers crew tried - they weren’t the problem. Problem was Young’s discipline, Fox’s defence and Teddy over all.

Young’s discipline? Did you actually watch the game?

He gave away one penalty for a strip, and that was only because TPJ ignored the call to drop off the tackle. Haas knew what was going on and it would have been a massive play for NSW

 

[Jackie Treehorn]

Seriously TPJ is the worst selection of all time. The game turned on his stupid offload in his own half that led to a try. Gave away a couple of penalties. Same we see every week in NRL. But he’s a good boxer so let’s pick him. WTF

 

[yobbo84]

Like that bloke with fluid in his chest?

Like Dylan Edwards for one.

 

[Pjf04b]

How can anybody organise an attack that stands so flat they can only walk on to the ball. It is obviously a Fittler ploy which doesn’t work.
Fittler is not a good coach anymore. He doesn’t know how foootball is played these days. Barefoot in the grass is great for kids but SOO?

 

[84 Baby]

Bit of bad luck for Hudson Young not to get MOTM instead of Cotter here

 

[gUt]

And I'm not even going to blame any specific player but nsw has constantly under performed under fittler. Nsw has had plenty of ball but couldn't do anything with it.

Sitting around in their drum circles drinking herbal tea and channelling gratitude to the earth mother will pay off eventually

 

[Belza]

Tedesco with some of that late career Darius Boyd form

Turdesco plays like a crab, always runs sideways

 

[Iamback]

Has Freddy been taking tips from Ricky on how to use your bench?

Hynes 12 minutes
TPJ 29 minutes
Haas and Paulo 30 minutes
Young 31 minutes

No wonder there were so many tired legs at the end.

Young and TPJ were shit. They were rightfully hooked

 

[Canard]

Well that NSW jersey will sell well.

Low key, what a shit decision, psychologically NSW saying we don't give a f**k about Origin or it's tradition.

 

[yobbo84]

Payne Haas is the best prop in the game, by a fair margin. Can play 80 mins with ease.

Fittler played him for 30 minutes.

More runs up sand dunes?

 

[Valheru]

They had an overlap because Hynes missed a tackle
JAC should’ve done better but Teddy is a terrible last line of defence


Terrible performance from him

Don't deny it. It's the first time we can say that

Meanwhile... the halfback is going to get a free ride again

 

[Diesel]

Too many injured or underdone players returning from injury and others playing out of position

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

Dylan Edwards plays - NSW wins. Teddy looks done.

our best fullback option, yet he will stick with this dud for years

 

[Homo man69]

My biggest gripe with what SOO has become is that it has moved from a representative side to its own "club" where coaches are selectors and decide who they want for combinations etc.

The coaches should have no say.

A combined selection committee should be rewarding the best 34 New South Welshmen and Queenslanders at the time based on form, and then coaches get their 17 players to coach.

"Combinations", "incumbency" or "past deeds" should have nothing to do with representative footy. Selection, IMHO, should be a reward for what you have done in the NRL that season.

I'm so sick of hearing the "Penrith connection". It's never worked??? But we must keep picking guys based on this solid connection

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Can't be asking why the coach dumps a teams right edge on the left eliminating their combinations and comfort?

NSW spent 80 minutes with Fox, To'o and Critter out of position. And 80 minutes with a reserve grade fullback captaining the team to a loss.

Queensland deserved the win. Fittler is dumb for not utilising club combinations and Teddy is just absolutely terrible. He wasn't the only bad player. But if he wasn't a ball hog the result is different.

Literally had Martin Luai Crichton To’o next to eachother for 55 mins, how’s that eliminating club combos?

They trained and prepped with those edges Al week until 2 days ago when fatty pulled out. Would’ve been worse shifting Turbo and Jac over to Luai’s side.

 

[84 Baby]

NSW we’re lucky.

QLD we’re without their two best players tonight.

Lol.

Tedesco and Cleary played mate

 

[Diesel]

Can’t wait for Annersleys explanation of the sin bin
