2024 State of Origin Series (Mens Edition)

[Happy MEel]

I thought Luai was very good this series. The extended time this year without Cleary has made him step up

Agreed. I was thinking Moses Cleary next year but a Luai Moses combo is far superior.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

So, are they still Queenslanders?

 

[Happy MEel]

So…Hynes has to come into contention next year

 

[the phantom menace]

NSW really missed Tedesco tonight too...

 

[Happy MEel]

Maybe
6 Cleary (*)
7 Moses

* = if Penrith are above Luai's Tigers on the table next season?

Nope. Luai has been great. They complement each other perfectly.

No mate. Say what you will about Luai, he has been absolutely outstanding for NSW. He has to have the running for 6 next year. And Moey at 7

f**k the Fatman is a f**king stupid deadshit

Yep, but given Cleary will be Kangaroos halfback (with Moses injured) if there are any matches scheduled at the end of year... they might find it hard not to give him an "in" to the Origin side somehow?

To me there's a chance Tigers lift early next season and are higher placed on the ladder than Penrith at selection time, which might give them the justification to demote "Cleary", and continue with the current halves combo.

 

[Happy MEel]

Full credit to Madge for picking the best side NsW could offer, rather than favourites/incumbents/whatever the reason Fittler came up with.

That was our best 17 and it showed. Barnett is made for Origin and has absolutely cemented his spot in the 17.

Pending any injuries, that 17 picks itself next year (and that includes leaving our Latrell).

Madge shouldn’t give a flying f&$k what happens with the Kangaroos. His job is to win Origin games. I reckon he’s staunch enough to do whatever the hell he wants. I’m warming to the lunatic.

Yes some very good selections that many "experts" were critical off. Dropping Tedesco, picking Moses back from injury, Latrell Mitchell, and Watson off the bench were considered big gambles but really paid off.

Not only that he really got the side going defensively. QLD gave so much but the Blues never gave up in defense. I was only worried for a while with that attack but it took a big break to change the game and full credit to Lui and Best combining well.

And when Moses scored, I havent jumped out of my chair so much since we won the preliminary final two years ago.

How good was it to see our current Eels and future Eels have blinders this series.

Also I havent been more impressed than Angus Crighton. What a player he's been, and truly deserved the Wally Lewis Medal.

I think the commentators were more drunk than the girl that sung the US anthem

Mate, my young bloke and I literally almost broke the tv when Moey went in… we jumped around like we were f**king nuts!!! What a moment!!! And let’s call out Luai, he was immense. Can’t stand him when he plays us but f**k me he is a talent. Angus Crichton was just immense. I would have loved to see him in Blue and Gold

It's one of my favourite Origin moments now. That try wouldve shut the critics up saying "he needed to step up" Well he certainly did. He now joins Sticky and Joey.

Yes I have to say Luai was a little quiet in the first half but really stepped up in the second half, not just with that try he set up but in defense he made some really good tackles when it looked like QLD were threating out wide.

I wish we had Angus, played with passion tonight and has been in great form for the Chooks.

NSW really missed Tedesco tonight too...

Hogesco and Mytho Hynes

 

[Soto]

Moses owned origin like cleary never has

 

[Wally21]

Someone said it earlier but Carrigan has the voice of a young girl.

He's a bitch

 

[eels_fan]

He's a bitch

But I’d take him and make him our captain in a heartbeat, exactly the type of player and leader our club needs
