Good team. Blues will beat the filth and win the series.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Barnett makes a lot of sense, his form is immense playing up the middle and can cover an edge if needed. Olakau’atu was given f**k all minutes playing up the guts when he’s exclusively an edge pig at club land. Madge f**ked up picking him and not using him correctly.

 

[Rising from the Ashes]

QLDs bench is a shocker and honestly don’t get picking two veterans in Kaufusi and Capewell over Fifita

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Capewell over Fifita lmaoooo - Freddy spiked Billy's green tea for sure.

NSW will gape us up the middle, and then when Racist Leniu comes on it will be even worse.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Dane Gagai to score 4 tries.

 

[mozza91]

NSW have got it right bar Watson and probably Jurbo.

Queensland should still win up there though unless Moses can do what the PENRITH blokes can’t and perform when it matters for NSW. I’m not holding my breath though.

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

LOL @qld

Why "bar Watson"?

 

[mozza91]

Why "bar Watson"?

Not an Orgin standard player. Api should have been picked for all 3 games. I think he’s the best player we have. Madge obviously has a personal problem either with Api or because he’s at the Tigers.

 

[This Year?]

I hope Ben Hunt plays as shit for QLD as he did for Dragons yesterday.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Only chance for QLD is to make the game a wrestle-a-thon. Will get every chance at Lang Park.

 

[Reflector]

NSW look the stronger line-up and (with Madge fanning the flames) will be keen to avenge the Game 1 loss by winning the series in enemy territory. Saying that, Qld are favourites - which means NSW are, in fact, the underdogs.

Then there's the Klein factor-

He'll be lenient on Qld for the first half (at leas)- letting the Maroons defenders stand a metre offside, charge out of the defensive line early to smash the Blues player with the ball, lay all over NSW in tackles and take their time. The crowd will love it and the commentators will wank themselves into a frenzy about how "Origin never ceases to deliver" so it will give the impression of being a fair dinkum application of the rules.

Some point in the second half, Klein will start piggybacking NSW to even up the penalty tally so the stat nerds can pretend it was a legit contest. The question is can the Blues hang in long enough for the tide to inevitably turn- and do enough with the ball and territory to get the win?

Covid origin camp where Api played up I reckon.
He should have been one of the first picked.

 

[Fangs]

Should be 2-0 to QLD but here we are.

All pressure on the cane toads. NSW have nothing to lose as the underdog.

[Ron's_Mate]

Whichever team gets their footy on will win.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Almost drowning for the cause. Don’t see any Qld players taking such measures. Clearly those north of the border don’t get origin.
