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

[Homo man69]

I bet they still pick "Captain Teddy" for the Australian team

 

[Sans Souci Saint]

NSW need Jeff Gillooly to take out another ice-skating can’t in Turdy Tedesco.

Get some new boots, ya clumsy cork sucker!!

 

[Game_Breaker]

Freddy says that they just need to score more tries

All I need to beat Usain Bolt in a race is to run faster

 

[GongPanther]

Hynes needs to learn how to tackle…

He came off the bench and was fresh as a daisy, he has no excuse after missing that tackle.

 

[Iamback]

Luai is a fringe origin talent at best and ironically gets picked because of cleary. Luai at least has a go and performs to his level, he isn't as good as Munster and no one expects him to be.

Cleary performs several rungs below his alleged level and has only been impressive in a NSW jersey when the rest of the team has been dominant. Today was his chance to take control and ice a game and he failed miserably.

Luai is off the cuff player, perfect for Origin

That gets missed at club level because the side is built around Cleary

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Origin's have a skinny 10 so it hard to get the ball playing.

Yeo does the ugly stuff well, I often think in a club game he was quiet. Only to check the stats and he had amazing numbers.

Give me guys like that in the pack over guys like Young or TPJ. They get noticed but also make dumb errors too.

Safe and reliable is better in Origin

Jake was missed big time

 

[Sans Souci Saint]

Nah. He's not the coach for Origin imo. What he does can't be done in a few weeks of a year.

And he’s a felcher.

 

[Game_Breaker]

I love how angry Joey gets about a loss. He’s such a petulant merkin.

He is the assistant coach for some reason

Great players rarely make good coaches

 

[Maroon4life]

Ahem ….
just a couple of three things

‘Why would you play a right side club combo on the left ?

‘why would you play an extremely damaging left sided player on the right ?

‘’Why would you sub off an edge back rower after 30 mins and never put him back on ?

‘why would you select a second halfback / 5/8 and only use him in case of injury ?

‘why would you allow Tedesco to take all these attacking runs to which he refuses to pass to unmarked players ?

‘why would you play flatter than the Melbourne storm used too in 1999 if you don’t have team to utilise it ?

bonus whinge

‘why did we all have to sit through that abomination of an attempt at commentary ? It’s borderline torture

‘when you are wish it’s Michael Anus and Flog Alexander there’s a huge problem

frankly I’m depressed and ashamed

 

[SBD82]

Anyone think it's an issue that NSW have next to no unpredictability? You've got 3 years of Penrith footage to figure out exactly how they will play

Yeah nah. Everyone has that opportunity every week and they still struggle to stop the Panthers.

I think the issue is that the Panthers play suits a fast line running or sweep run fullback, and Teddy plays flat with the ball in front.

 

[Belza]

Miserable? Nah.

Wasn’t great footy from either team, just that QLD wanted it more. Good on them, but let’s not pretend it was a good game of footy.

I wasn't commenting on the game but on the crowd. They were into it and there was lots of cheering

Every other team doesn't have a year to figure out the gameplan and the 17 best players in the whole state

Did you think I was referring to the crowd when I said “drop fest”?

 

[Iamback]

Jake was missed big time

Yeah you need that ugly work done. Murray should of been next up he was another that didn't miss a tackle.

Those 2 and Haas are the middles.
Paulo to give them a spell and QLD go no where.

RL is a simple game but Freddy likes to over think it

 

[GreenMachine121]

And he’s a felcher.

Martina owns a mean strap on though

 

[Fangs]

He came off the bench and was fresh as a daisy, he has no excuse after missing that tackle.

PENRITH lost to Souths weeks back playing Salmon on the right in the dying stages.

Salmon is essentially Hynes in defence at this level. He has no place at right centre.

 

[BranVan3000]

If NSW lose game 2 then for Game 3 I want a spine of

1. Latrell
6. Luai
7. Walker
9. J Reynolds

Just grub it up and give me f**king lols

 

[GongPanther]

It’s interesting how different Luai and Cleary play at Origin level VS club level. It’s almost like they’re coached differently….

Hang on. Wait, maybe it’s just a poorly coached side?

Sound observation. Qld where dropping like flies due to injuries, and a player sent to the bin. I mean, who loses a game when its basically gift wrapped?

 

[SBD82]

Every other team doesn't have a year to figure out the gameplan and the 17 best players in the whole state

They kind of do though. Panthers have been running basically the same structures for the past few years.

Regardless, I don’t think NSW play like the Panthers. Penrith wins that game tonight.

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

Hammer had a great debut

Walsh was solid

can they fit in ponga for the next game ?

Hammer played in 2020 .
scored a try
