2025 Origin 1 - Wed 28 May - QLD 6-18 NSW @ Suncorp

I saw him get swatted away like a naughty toddler by Crichton last year

Crichton with his 14 origins played , finally having a great series. Almost as good as Cotter the year before. I remember when Reuben was selected for his first Origin. Most players at first find it a quicker pace, Cotter played NRL games quicker and more intense than others. Fitted in perfectly

Welcome to the thread. I hope you enjoy your stay.

The only thing I’m interested in regarding Origin is the combined penalty/set restart stat. Gee destroyed the Raiders v Warriors game as a spectacle with a combined total of 30. I’m predicting a total of 9 or less. Everyone will say what a great job Klein did for the game as a spectacle.

How about all NRL games being refereed like SOO ? Why do referees want to wreck the regular NRL games with nitpicking and over officiating? Don’t go down the union path of endless referee interruptions. Remember, it’s about the players and entertainment. Not an episode of CSI where everything is forensically examined.

Thankyou for your post

Ill forward your concerns to the RL referees boss for his review

We value your feedback and hope enjoy the upcoming game

Kind regards

NSW surely can’t bottle this right? Even Slater is on them judging by his selections.

Bar is so low they can walk over. 13+ has to be on the cards.

Reckon we will fumble it tonight but win games 2 and 3, like last year.

I have zero faith in the Blues regardless of how much better the team is on paper …interested to see if Latrell shows up in a mood though …

He's always in a mood.

We just don't know if it will be:

1. A Good mood;
2. A Bad mood;
3. A Motivated mood;
4. A Disinterested mood; or
5. Some combination of 1 to 4.

Do you ever wonder if you’ve bought milk from the same cow more than once?

I'm getting very excited. Less than 3 hours to go.

This is what Origin is all about. Who can hold their nerve until kick off? Not everyone makes it.

Has there been any actual build up? I legit forgot this was tonight

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Has there been any actual build up? I legit forgot this was tonight

Personally, yes. Got on the piss in London KC last night, and back at the pub at 9am for an 11am kick off, well more like 11:22am kick off.

Me and my northern friend have frightened many Londoners by greeting them and politely mentioning the weather.

Build up Rating 5/7

 

[King hit]

I have a feeling that Mitchell will be in for a massive series. Feel a bit more confident just because of that.

That sounds like a standard Tuesday

Given Souths' last 24 months, Mitchell will probably win the series for NSW and bust his achilles or do an ACL in the process

Wins NSW the series and weakens Souths in the process

Sounds great to me

I'm a QLD supporter but NSW will win by 18. I don't think QLD have the potency.

This is State of Origin.

Mate against mate. State against state. If you have friends north of the border then they aren't your friends anymore. At least not tonight.

This is all about who wants it more. Do you want it? Do you? Ask yourself that when you have nothing left in the tank and you are in the trenches with your mates. How badly do you want this?

What will you tell your family when you get home? Your grand kids in future? 'Yes little Johnny, I was there and I gave 110% and I shed blood for my state...I hope you will get to one day as well'. You need to love what you do, even die for it. This isn't a Sunday social.
