2025 Origin 2 - Wed 18 Jun - NSW v QLD @ Optus

[Canard]

Sizing up the 2 teams NSW have it all over QLD in every metric. The only ways for QLD to win are :

to slow down the ruck speed to a crawl and hope that Klein ignores it.

I don't see how that helps us at all. If we "get into the grind" with NSW we will get our arses handed to us.

There back 3 will just kill us in the yardage game. Whereas our Back three, are not noted for their "hard carries".

Our only real chance is to try to run "around" NSW using Ponga and Hammers speed and playmaking. The problem with this is that if we go to too sideways we will get picked off.

The weather hurts this game plan also.

 

[Canard]

it seems obvious to me that there will be changes before the start. Horsburgh has to be in the 17

Despite how good he has been this year, his play was so poor on Origin debut, I dont think the selectors can get it out of their heads.

There is so much butthurt in this post
It makes me smile to think of how much he has upset you over the years.
He is rich as well…and has a hot wife .

... a handsome wife

It's always amusing to see how much tribal club fealty is applied by some posters regarding matters of state versus state.

Anyhow, NSW to win. Latrell Mitchell Man of the Match.

The weather has eased off since about 11am , should be a good track.

21 minutes, 5 runs for 40 metres, 18 tackles, 0 errors, yeah mate he had a shocker.

Who cares though?

Give big red and the other Raiders a rest. They've got a good chance at giving this competition a shake. Origin isn't going to help them.

Raiders are going out in straight sets come September. Melbourne will pump them week 1 and then us week 2

Yes we all know that already.

Just trying to get the focus back on NSW and even the ACT. All this QLD rot is a waste of time they're a disgrace to the NRL.

He had a shocker, probably one of the worst Origin debuts of all time, looked like he was in slow motion.

I'm sure he will kill it if ever selected again though.

You had me until the last part. You know it's a top 8, not a top 12?

Penrith have an enormous battle to even get to the finals. But you know what? If they get to the second round of the finals, I'll be damn impressed.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Penrith are lucky the competition is so f**king weak this season.

 

[Fangs]

Yes everyone stop shitting your pants. You know Penrith are going to be there at the end.

 

[Fangs]

Penrith are lucky the competition is so f**king weak this season.

Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.

Please Billy, for the love of god, please don't mention Alex McKinnon if there is a high tackle on any QLDER tonight.

Nobody associated with the Melbourne Storm should be allowed to utter McKinnon’s name after how that f**kwit Cam Smith carried on that night.

I'll never forget that. All he cared about was arguing the penalty.
