Good to see Moses get hurt.
Parra are shoe ins for the spoon now

 

[King hit]

My apologies to Michael McGuire I had doubts over him because he isn’t an ex player. Got bad memories of Bellamy’s reign of terror but he has really proved me wrong. Made some great selections and handled the situation outstandingly

Game 2 2021

Cheers, got my game 1 and 2 mixed up from that series

 

[Munky]

He was up and down with us too, I think he's just got better with age. More consistent and almost completely removed the bonehead plays from his game.

Barnett had some great effort plays in defence.

Moving fast from marker or when an opportunity was unfolding he'd rush over as cover.

Compare that to Hammer who jogged toward Moses as he ran straight through.

 

[Fangs]

Go easy on the trees tonight, bud

Keep it heavy man.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Jesus the blues after party is going to be next level

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Are they though?

You never know.

You leave Greg Inglis alone.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Mate have you seen Will Kennedy?

Fair

 

[Reflector]

Lol Luai vs DCE. What a world class flog off.

Eshay Michael Jackson lookalike vs Steroid Tin Tin.

 

[Chins get the wins]

The only thing the game lacked was DCE having his jaw broken

IM not gunna pretend that coaching the tigers isnt the hardest gig in the game, however I think these days theres two seperate coaches. Rep Coaches and Club Coaches. Madge to me is the perfect rep coach. Hes great for a short campaign with good players who he doesnt need to improve their skillset. The fulltime intensity gets too much over a whole year. You just have to look at his ending at souths. Missing 2 finals series with the likes of INglis, Burgess, Crichton, Reynolds, Cook, Walker etc. They sack him and then make the next 6 prelims.

I mean Craig Bellamy lost 3 Origin Series in a row to Mal Meninga LOL

Yep, Madge is the perfect origin coach.
High intensity for 10 days at a time. And even then doesn’t need to be as intense because he’s dealing with the best of the best.
I had massive doubts leading into game 2 but he stuck with his plan and it paid off.

 

[Reflector]

How do NRL officials watch this and think Klown is the man for the job?

Reminds me of that doco on the 1978 finals series where Greg Hartley addresses allegations that he was paid off. Tellingly, while he says the notion he was rewarded financially for showing favour to some teams (AKA Manly) is nonsense, he does talk about how special it was getting to ref on the Kangaroo tour...

Klein is their gimp.

Not picking Api and picking Jake for his little cameos AND making him captain were terrible calls. All's well that ends well I guess

Why do they keep persisting with Ashley Klein in these big games? Another mind-boggling performance where fans of both sides hate his guts

I wonder if Gordie will eat his humble pie for giving it to Madge for never playing origin?

I feel like I lose brain cells when Tallis speaks

Was is good seeing him slashing through for a solo try to lock in the series win?

If Madge wants future NRL success he needs to go the Bennett/Boyd route and have senior players follow him around who have his back.

We had Burgess, Sutton and Inglis backing him saying to the other players "If you want to win, this is what it takes". Once he lost them (cough Arizona cough), he lost the group.

Anyway, at Origin he has 17 of those blokes. As long as he picks the right side, with Slater coaching QLD - we should have some very good series over the next few years.

DCE has one of the grubbiest merkins on the field.

He's totally the kind of prick that would only mouth off at you if he was standing behind his mates, then if you came at him he'd laugh and go "What's the matter bro, you triggered!?"

Needs to be flattened
