2023 State of Origin ~ Game 1 *31st May*

[the phantom menace]

I don't think Addo-Carr keeps his spot. They also need to change something in the 7-6-9-1 combo... whether that's Cook on the bench to change it up, or Tedesco out of the #1 jersey somehow.

And then the forwards - wasn't a fan of the middle forward rotations either...
TPJ 29mins
Haas 31mins
Paulo 30mins
Yeo 80mins

Which leaves 50mins - I'm guessing that was some of Frizell's and some of Martin's on-field time? Worse bench use than BA!

* Edit - yes, Freddy brought Martin on after TPJ's first stint, and brought Frizell back after TPJ's second stint - while hardly utilising Haas or Junior. Crazy shit.

Fittler is special needs. Pangai Junior, JAC, Tedesco and Chriton need to go straight away. Cleary is f**king tragic in a blues jumper. Hynes to 6 I. Place of the grub. The list goes on

 

[Avenger]

I would not swap Gutherson for Tedesco. Not a chance. JAC and the cheap shot merchant Pangai were shit.

Fittler and Alexander should be the first ones sacked.

BTW I don’t care much about origin anymore and it’s mainly because of Fittler, Johns and Alexander. I can’t cop them. Deep down I wanted QLD to show them up and the overhyped Penrith combo.

 

[Gherkin]

Need to get rid of Yeo. Start Murray at 13. Completely stifles the attack

 

[eel01s]

Terrible 10 minutes for Hynes. He drops the drop out cold, then hopelessly out of position at right centre gifts Qld their second last try.

To think Moses is called a downhill skier. Cleary must be the Olympic Slalom gold medallist! Can only perform when his pack is dominant.

Tedesco is one of the biggest ball hogs I have ever seen.

And who can forget the two brain dead Fittler picks: Young and Pangai Jnr. Several penalties and one massive turnover between them.

Fitter is hopeless.

 

[Chipmunk]

Another classic Queensland victory against the odds.

 

[Avenger]

Billy Slater is a coach I’d now target if Ryles is eventually getting the Storm job.

 

[Bandwagon]

Another classic Queensland victory against the odds.

It'll never be against the odds whilst Fittler is running the show.

 

[the phantom menace]

SMH player ratings for NSW - subjective of course, but Junior earning the highest rating of any of our forwards for his 30min contribution says a lot...

And not sure how Tedesco got a 7, when he was rated at 6 at half-time?

Penrith lost that game for NSW

the arrogant pricks just thought the game was won and they had to go thru the motions to full time.

morons.

klein did his best to help them too.

QUEENSLANDER!!

 

[Noise]

That was really embarrassing.

Only if we got Smith and Cronk as part of the coaching team.

 

[JokerEel]

Cleary Yeo and Teddy ruin our attack with their slow motion play.

They get away with it at thier clubs as the players around them bring in more speed in attack.

Hynes was a waste Burton would have been better..

Was Young injured he got 30 minutes...

TPJ was a waste should have picked the Knights brothers....

 

[Happy MEel]

The morons on 9 keep saying Tedesco the best fullback in the game, there probably at least 5/6 teams that would dispute that.

9 and Roosters love for Tedesco, Freddy is just so obvious

I’d take Gutho every day of the week over Teddy

Yep, Yeo and Cleary in particular struggle with good defensive line speed. They are both handbrakes. Embarrassing at this level.

 

[Avenger]

Cleary is a future immortal according to some. Give me a f**king break!!!

* And Atkins. That guy is a myth. Defys belief the hierarchy think hes competent. Next they will promote his female equivalent, Kasey Badger. Nothing surer.
