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

[Chins get the wins]

I know I'm biased but gees Murray was immense in defence, again.

My old man and I joke his nickname should be "Who was that?".

As in, the opposition makes a half break, someone shuts it down with a desperate tackle and you go "Who was that?" and 9 times out of 10 it's Cameron Murray.

Second best lock in the world . Such a gun

I like the cod, still missed 4 tackles though and should’ve been sent. Wasn’t at his best today for sure.

 

[10$ Ferret]

Edwards best on field my ass. He was better than I thought but not even close. Next minute you will claim yeo was great. Nothing more than a poor man's Nathan Brown.
But it doesn't matter really does it. NSW won and thats all that counts .
At least a older didn't get player of the series

 

[Reflector]

I can’t believe it NSW NSW NSW!!!!

Well done NSW. *Probably* the better team.


F**k your uncle too...

 

[Reflector]

DCE gets booed.

Well deserved f**k face.

Hope that's his last Origin match, would be a fitting way to end...

Laurie Daley 1994 - QLD win game 1 - NSW come back win decider at Suncorp.

Danny Buderus 2005 - QLD win game 1 - NSW come back win decider at Suncorp.

Jake Trbojevic 2024 - QLD win game 1 - NSW come back win decider at Suncorp.

Only three times have we won a decider in QLD.

Three legendary NSW captains, immortality.

Don't forget the role of Connor Watson.

So we load up on plodders in game 1 but once we cleared them out we comfortably won the series. Hogesco, Hudson Dumb and Swahili should all have their papers stamped.

Billy Slater does not get Origin.

Billy Slater is still a Queenslander

To be fair Tedesco and Suualii were only there due to injuries and Suualii has literally had his papers stamped, you also forgot the failure we had at halfback in game 1.

I absolutely agree that Api should have been there. I heard a counter argument saying that maybe Api is too creative which will take away from the Blues power game. I can kinda live with that but would prefer Api playing.
Jake’s off field stuff must really have an effect on the team and the boys seem to love him.
Also, someone is always going to end up with limited minutes, not the worst ploy in the world to have that player be a starter.

I think it’s been discussed as nauseam that where Robson has a massive advantage is defensively. Api is a much craftier dummy half but I think that craftiness tends to not always translate in origin just like the ball playing lock doesn’t have the same effect in origin but defence is the one thing that definitely carries over. I think you also have to remember NSW went into game 1 without a utility so the dummy half needed to play 80 which Rosbon does every week whereas Api doesn’t always play 80 minutes at club level so big ask to expect him to do so at origin level

Think the truth around the Edwards/Tedesco debate is somewhere in the middle of what both sides are saying. I know Edwards got MOTM but he didn't do a lot in the first half and isn't really a threat in the opposition 20. His workrate is insane but. I think he's probably around a 10% improvement on Tedesco.

 

[Rod]

Just on the Freddy stuff - if he is still coach NSW lose again, no question. I mean look at this:

 

[Michael Matral]

Good thing premierships are the crowning glory of RL then..Moses has found his arena..as sadly a premiership will allude him..

 

[Michael Matral]

QUEENSLAND would of won 3-0

The greasy euromullet with a severe case of bald, yeah his papers are stamped too.

Looks like Spoon’s back on the menu boys

Hopefully DCE last game, was a plodder all night, need a change next year!

Can’t believe more people aren’t talking about this. For all the discussion re Moses and Luai, DCE was the worst half on the field by a country mile.

Both teams attack was terrible. Zero shape and too lateral. The difference was though at least the NSW halves offered a bit of a running game and were able to take advantage of QLD being exhausted from all the early defence in the final 25 and get some tries through missed tackles.

DCE gets booed.

Well deserved f**k face.

I beg your very much pardon

 

[84 Baby]

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

That doesn’t sound like DCE at all.

“What aggrievance are you bring forth, sir? Is it mayhaps it has brought to mind memories of times when you were similarly persecuted?”
