Grapple's review:

It was a very enjoyable game.
Both teams showed heart.
QLD clearly wanted it more.
Tedesco is done.
Turbo is done.
Fitler is done.
Imagine if Billy Slater played for Brisbane instead of Melbourne?
Nicho is the future for NSW
Unreal how little Cam Murray played.


Multi:

Holmes try scorer
Coates try scorer
QLD 13+

= win for Grapple
Any proof or just post game bull shit?

With a few days hindsight, the difference between NSW and QLD and a primary reason why the blues never had a shot can be traced back to all the garbage Tiktok vids from camp showing the lunatics running the asylum.

cranking shit music on golf karts. Cranking shut music on the bus. Cranking shit music on the morning Pre-game walk. Literally every clip of the blues in training had them looking like a bunch of year 7 kids on their first sleepover camp.

just wall to wall lack of respect for the task at hand.

There is absolutely no way Slater would put up with that shit. More to the point there is no way the Queensland squad would think of carrying on like that to begin with

Yes, when Qld win you see all these attributes. Wednesday night was the first time in at least 5 years the Maroons had the game sewn up with 10 minutes remaining. They’d developed a habit of wilting and losing by a big score when they got beaten up to then.

As for the attitude after they lose, then it’s player x/y/z needs to go or the coach needs to be sacked, just like the other mob.

And those names you mentioned would be given absolute unrelenting support because they played in great Qld teams and so the assumption is they’ll carry on the glory as coach. Kevvie Walters won his first two series as coach also, then the Qld public turned on him after that for some reason...

Oh well, he can show how wrong they were as he leads the Broncos to glory against those 16 other mobs...
Let’s not also forget their much loved captain and leader DCE was public enemy no 1 in Queensland when he did that Titans backflip. Was booed during NRL games in Queensland, courier mail along with Maroon patriot Tallis bullied him for at least a couple of years after. It was quite extreme.

That giraffe necked gimp and Scam Smith have a lot in common-

Both smug pricks who pretend to love Qld 3 times a year and then spend the rest of their time screwing Qld’s clubs over in the NRL...

Do you expect DCE to sit out of the Manly team when they play the Qld clubs.....stupid comment.

On a side note, earlier someone said that Luke Keary had been tried and failed at Origin level. Keary played game 1 in 2020. Otherwise when he could have been selected, or his form was screaming "pick me" he was unavailable at the start of those series due to injury.

Not saying necessarily he should be now called up for Origin 3 this sseason (nor in 2024 either), but 1 game is hardly a great body of evidence to judge. Unlike Mitchell Moses, he has won 3 premierships and a CC Medal too.
Yeah but he wrote a letter to the powers that be begging them to let him play for Qld, so he never should've been picked. Nsw tend to pick players who don't want to play for them; Keary, Pangai, Jamie Lyon and they'll probably pick Olakauatu as well.

Parker describing Moses’ Origin performance as outstanding.
There’s some low, low standards right there.

Very nearly snatched game 3 in Sydney in 2019 too. With Moses Mbye at centre and Borey Norman at five-eighth ha
Very nearly, but were fortunate to be in the running at the death with that contentious escort penalty given at a very convenient time in the game, from which Moose scored and allowed Qld to draw level.
