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

He also has a hard on for Reese Walsh

Will be interesting to see what Slater does next year if Ponga’s available from the start of the series.

Ponga didn’t work on the bench, at least not the way he was used. Throwing your best fullback on for tiny minutes at lock when the side is already too f**ked to go to another gear was really dumb and weakens the forward rotation. Next year Slater needs to just pick one of them but I’m not sure I could see him dropping Walsh even though he probably should.

Have to love the stat that Hynes had more running metres in the series than Jake Trbojevic!

What a wasted roster spot he is - and they made him captain!

 

[Chins get the wins]

I am sorry @Captain Apollo Teddy was good for long and maybe more blame should go on Freedy than him.

But it is Edwards time

Hynes also missed 4x as many tackles.
If you cant see what the plan was (which worked since, winners) then you’re dumber than a Roosters fan.

Cleary was 7 when NSW won 2 games in QLD in 2021.

NSW didn't stuff up selections like they did in 2022 and last year, That was the main difference this year from prior years.

Selections just added to your pain. We would have won both series, whoever played

 

[YoHadrian]

Edwards was really good in both games. I was worried that he wouldn’t be able to step up to Rep level but was proven wrong.

He was great. Teddy will always be Teddy however it's time for him to move on from Origin.

Minutes could have been higher but he did what was required.

Big Jake, Haas and Yeo didn't miss a tackle last night.

NSW had won 3 series from the last 4 going into 2022.

Freddy really shit the bed from that point

NSW had their foot on the throat in game three of 2022.

Then Too Poo went full Paul Carriage on a nothing kick return.

Yep people have very short memories with this sort of stuff.

Latrell for Jake - problem solved

He might have drop a few kegs to go the full 15, but it just might work.

Latrell would be gassed by the coin toss.

Luai and Moses stood up when it mattered. They deserve the first shot next year.

Moses did f**k all last night. Luai was the dominant Half on he field.

He scored the try that sealed the game. He was also our best player in Game 2. The 7 jersey is his.

No chance. Line up Cleary's Origin against most players it doesn't correlate with the hate,

Cleary has delivered a couple of times but none of his performances match Moses’ game 2 efforts. He’s also had more average games than good ones.

 

[Valheru]

In just 2 games Dylan Edwards has scored a try, set up 2 others, won a man of the match award and won a decider in Brisbane. In 5 games Reece Walsh hasn’t scored a try or set up one and biggest moment is being sent off.

Ponga is their best FB and it ain't close

Your Boy Joey declared one of Cleary's games the best ever Origin performance by a 7 in the history of the series. Think it was game 2 2021 maybe. Now we all know Joey is cooked and was probably chemically enhanced, but it was a pretty bloody good game.

Still leaving Moses or Luai out would be a tough call. If injury doesn't make the decision then Madge will need to get out the thinking cap next year. Of course Luai going to the Tigers might hurt as well. As it stands I think Cleary and Moses to start with Luai at 14 could work. Luai was a pretty handy 14 when he first hit the NRL. A bit rough for Watson, but he is a Rooster, so f**k him and the Politis he rode in on.
