2024 Origin I - Wed 5 Jun - NSW 10-38 QLD @ Accor

[Chins get the wins]

I didn't compare it - Madge did

My mistake

 

[dogslife]

Matt Burton had more impact than Suaalii.

On the game I mean. Not on Reece Walsh's cheekbone

 

[MRN]

Burton had impact to his own face. From Gagai.

 

[Cheese sandwich]

It just shows you don’t know what you are talking about.

Oh but I do, myles was shit and you're a tosser. Have a grand evening good sir.

Yes while another bloke held Burton. Weak arse stuff

Gagai had already owned Burton. Tino saved Burton from more hurtin'.

Have to admit, I didn’t consider that and puts things into perspective. You‘re right. I was just thinking of the game (with its gradually declining ratings) as a spectacle

I guess I'm just looking at it as a fan who wants my State team to do well and to enjoy a game of footy without one of our best players being illegally rubbed out.
I'm sure V'landys and Channel Nein are seething that their multi million dollar spectacle was "ruined". And maybe some AFL fans won't be converted because it was a bit of a one-sided affair. But the responsibility for that lies squarely with the guy who put the hit on, and the coach who didn't have a plan or the right squad to adapt. Can't blame the ref.

Jesus, I can't believe I just defended Ashley Klown!

 

[Saxon]

Well, my point was many diehard QLD supporters I had around me didn't enjoy the game. 12vs13 for 70 mins doesn't matter who you select. I concede that QLD shouldn't be penalised for losing their fullback though, and there's really no good solution so better a sendoff I suppose.

I do see where you're coming from.

I don't know if there's a better solution though.
If I was T-Boon, maybe I'd suggest that perhaps the outcome should be:
Penalty + Su'ali'i on report + sinbin as a reasonable punishment. AND (to make it fair for QLD to be without Walsh for the remainder of the game) DCE could have been given the chance to remove any one player from the NSW team rotation.

So, for example, Joseph gets sent to the bin, QLD gets a penalty and DCE sends Teddy to the sheds so that NSW play the remainder of the game with 16 men.

 

[Danish]

Took the shots well, you’d think 3 unblocked punches to the head would mess you up, but Myles was left in better condition than most hotel corridors

a regular forehead wouldn’t have survived.

thankfully Myles is packing an eighthead

Memba’ when White put that halfback career ending grub Price to sleep?

Yet somehow Waterhouse got sent off for it.

A simpler solution could be that the player gets sent and they’re a player short for 10 minutes. After that an interchange player comes on making it 13 V 13 again, but now they only have 3 players on the bench.

 

[borisdog]

Madge in the press conference discussing the May hit on Walsh in round 3 that fractured his cheekbone and there not being a binning sums it all up really. They felt that they could take him out and at worst they'd get someone thrown in the bin or a penalty. It was such an obvious plan.

So obvious in fact that it had been done the year before.
Less damage last year, but very much a filthy cheap shot to a bloke on the ground. Who'd already been hit in the air defending a bomb. And earlier in the game also.
And the grub didn't even get binned.

 

[blaza88z]

I love how when NSW lose it's because they didn't select the right players. It's never because Queensland were better on the night. It's all down to dud selections. The people who wank on about the wrong team being selected are the first to say Queenslanders are dumb.

It begs the question.

If New South Welshmen are so smart, why are their selectors so much dumber than the ones from Queensland?

Nah you've got it all wrong, it's because Klein ruined the spectacle by sending off a NSW grub after knocking Reece Walsh out cold.

 

[Chins get the wins]

What percentage of actual NSW footy fans think that? Less than 5% I'd say.
I knew it was a bin instantly

That was back when there was a crackdown on third man in unless your name is Thaiday.

Next time there's a player scandal and we think 'why do these guys keeping doing it...' we can remember that Terrell May can't say 'he's dead' properly, even without the apostrophe.

I'm not a fan of this.. prefer straight send off.. but you just know with all the numptys in the media bleating it's inevitable. If it does go this way though I don't think 10 mins is enough.. it's basically just a sin bin for taking out a player.. has to be at least 20mins then a replacement I think.

This sort of change would just encourage players to take out playmakers.

For some reason the Sydney fan base has just concentrated on the impact on NSW, ignoring that the team affected by the foul play.

Heart

Is that Steve Price? I only remember him as the man in the few years between Johns’ retiring and Thurston reaching his peak, was the greatest player in the game.
