2023 State of Origin ~ Game 3 *12th July* ~ Team List

[the phantom menace]

Payne Haas I get the fact he gets through a lot of work.

But is it really impacting games.

NSW didn't really miss him last night.

Throw in at Brisbane he has won a spoon and never won a final since debuting.

Is he worth the money he is asking.

Good point - before your post I'd genuinely forgotten he wasn't playing last night. He's a good enough player but wasn't missed at all tbh.

I'd say Luai's now played his last rep game though.

I’m sure he will represent Samoa. But NSW never again.

mitch looked good, in control. 5th big time game for him in the last year. great exp moving forward

Brandy gave him a huge wrap toward the end of the game but it just sounded to me like he was giving himself a wrap for selecting him

Apparently Ivan Cleary may be named assistant coach next year with Freddy still head coach.

So no doubt NSW next year spine will be Edwards/Luai/Cleary/Koro and Yeo back in 13.

qld 3-0 in 2024

is it any surprise that NSW’s first win in 12 months came in a game with no Penrith players in the spine? Penrith system works for Penrith, brilliantly, they are the best team in the comp by a fair margin, but it doesn’t work for origin

So is Cleary that much better than Moses or does Cleary just play in a better side? In terms of individual talent I don’t see much between them. They can both do a job playing halfback for NSW.

Also great to see RCG adapt his game to play the style NSW wanted to play.

Nrl teams don't defend or have that want than qld has so he does more damage in nrl

Why didn't he fix hodgo or fergo or lumelume or other right wingers?

Hodgo who has been at the club for what a week.....

Parramatta stars J'maine Hopgood and Clint Gutherson clash at Origin

The Parramatta teammates collided at halftime, with Hopgood knocking 'Gutho' sideways before flashing a cheeky grin in a reminder of a famous Origin clash between Eels stars.

Mitch has finally learnt to game manage like the great halves in the last 18 months, Cleary seemed to always have that cool head and control, but for mine Mitch has more skill.

I agree. You've spent plenty of time in the past suggesting we are as good as Penrith. But I agree that we aren't.

The most underrated aspect of Penrith has always been their ruthless forward pack. If it was just down to skill then they wouldn't have been as successful as they have been.

Just watched the footage. What a pile of dog shit story.

Yeah, i saw the incident live and Hopgood was just mucking around. Though guth was quite serious and ignored him. Guth probably didn't even know it was hopgood who shouldered into him

I thought Gutho dropped the shoulder in when I saw it last night Laughed and knew some idiot would write a story

You go Moses/Walker as halves game 1 next year surely??? (form/injuries pending)

I reckon Teddy will retire from rep footy well before then

1 TomT
2 Ado Carr
3 Best
4 Latrell
5. Too
6 Walker
7 Moses

14 Crichton (sorry Gutho)

A bit hard at this point to pick a team for next year.

I’ve said our best is good enough to beat Penriths best. I still think that. I also said Penrith are a champion team but not a team of champions. They play well above the sum of their parts. I think the last 3 origin series give a lot weight to that argument.
