2024 Origin III - Wed 17 Jul - QLD 4-14 NSW @ Suncorp

Moses just said "Nah it's f**ked" to the blokes setting him up for an interview so my only hope for spoon avoidance now is Aiden Sezer's almighty devon

The silver lining is that I'll absolutely love it if they win another spoon. That'll be 18 right?

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

NSW should have won by 30. The attack for the whole from the Blues was largely pedestrian. It was frustrating to watch no pattern in attack but only from Luai's side of the field.

Yeah, I don't think Moses was very good at all tonight. Very predictable until that try. A couple of good long kicks but the rest was copy/paste same kick to Lomax that simply wasn't working.

That said, he didn't have time or space for 62 minutes. The 2 head defence was brutal and Klown declared open slather in the ruck.

Two series were lost due to no outside back cover in the squad.

2020 game three he had the middle forward version Yeo at right centre.

2023 Cook and Hynes in consecutive games.

Such a muppet.

There was that one series around Covid time that Fittler absolutely handed to QLD. The Gutherson one.

Absolute space cadet.

That whole thing was a fkn nothing event. If anymore happens they are just doubling down on the stupidity. Should’ve just been a NSW knock on.

I guess dickheads with nfi love these stories so enjoy mate, you deserve it.

BUT THEY DISRESPECTED THE SPIRIT!

 

[Mr. Shaman]

20. 20 passes.

Do with that info what you will.

More importantly, how many passes to his winger he’s just cramped for space, passed to the floor or passed over the sideline?

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Not a wind-up, but your side is done for the year.

Not breaking any news there, buddy. We have been utterly sunk by injuries, poor fitness and shit depth

Looks like Spoon’s back on the menu boys

Only surprise tonight was that penalty against Walsh. QLD have a long tradition of kicking players in the head and this would be the first time they've ever been penalised for it.

 

[moffla]

Yeah...the general negative view of Tedesco's Origin legacy is due to him being selected for about 3 years too long. He was an exceptional player 4 years ago.

Fittler butchered his NSW tenure. He should never have lost a series with what he had at his disposal.

Agree with your point regarding Fittler. Criminal that he went 3-3

That said, he didn't have time or space for 62 minutes. The 2 head defence was brutal and Klown declared open slather in the ruck.

And once again, he alone had as many kick metres as ALL 3 other halves in the game. 710 for Moses with a bicep early mark, 730 for the other three combined.

Luai had zero kicks second half. Zero.

Personally, I'd prefer to see more of tonight's Moses over Game Two Moses in a lot of ways. As an Eels fan I've seen momentum eating Game Two Moses plenty. Tonight's Moses is the one who can win a premiership in a decent side.

The record for wooden spoons in a row is 6 in a row from Parra from 1956 to 1961. LOL!

That's one thing Phil Gould commented on was how "sideways" both the Qld and NSW attack was in the match, and quite frankly I have to agree. It looked a very skinny 10 metres, which limited players making yardage, but it was not helped by few players being in motion. There was a lot of players getting the ball whiulst staionary on both sides.

Parra have him for a few more years though right? He might be washed up before he gets a chance in a decent side.

There is the great man at work

He was far too conservative with the huge amount of ball he had in key field position in the first half. As soon as he played to his strength, he scored a try.

He was fine, he got it done. Long kicking game is good to finally have in the halves for NSW.

Mate, if you're not careful we'll arrange to send you another Sean Keppie.

 

[Munky]

Was Christian Welch fit?

One of the great effort players and would have pressured the kicking game all night.

If NSW can select Jurbo then Welch would do a job for QLD.

 

[chrisD]

Moses kicking was fantastic and then that try. But he wasn't picking the right attacking passes and so contributed to those knock ons.
