there's a reason gordie never threw a punch at tezza


Tallis obviously had been tipped off by Terry's ex-missus not to take him on...

Poor guy. Will fall victim to the dreaded "myth" thread within months if LU is true to form.

Absolute beast and will be a star for NSW for years to come. He despises the maroon wankers and never takes a backward step.

Klemmer isn't a very good rugby league player but he's getting hyped up by everyone because of his aggression? In that case, bring in Anthony Watts for game 3.

Whilst QLD praise players like Smith, Thurston and Matt Scott, NSW are praising a knee lifting, eyes closed slapping, dog shotting MMA wannabe. I guess it should be expected after all the Gallen love.

Ok. Sure. He's standing over "QLD Origin greats" who are asking him to show them respect as he has them rattled but he isn't a very good rugby league player. The kid is just 21 and having a huge impact at origin level already in the toughest position on the park.

Well the likes of Klemmer and Woods can continue to be dicks in Kangaroo squads for all I care, the kiwi's will just keep winning.

Unfortunately for Klemmer if he keeps up his over the top aggression he will get suspended a lot, and with the way the weighting system works it will be a lot of time out. Shame really because Klemmer is just an oversized Josh Reynolds right now.

You get the feeling that he won't even make it to Game III without being suspended.

Any player that displays even the slightest inclination to play aggressively - and not even illegally, just at a high tempo in defence and by posturing - is called a grub these days. The game is such a sad shadow of itself. The biggest joke is all the hype around origin is still loosely built on conflict, but now its a bitching contest about who has the naughtiest boys. People want origin in particular to boil over. Its why it is so big. But now we're resigned to bitch slapping and handbags vfl style as players try to niggle each other into a sin bin offence that never comes.

Not true at all. There is a difference between playing aggressively and playing dirty. There are plenty of aggressive players in the NRL that don't take it to far. A game can be tough with aggressive players, big hits, big runs, strong defense etc without the need for cheap shots, punches and the like. It's not a tough game just because there was a punch up.

Bullshit. Klemmer did nothing dirty but he's got people crying grub. f**kin softcocks who want the game to be as boring as possible. No wonder they blow their loads over the wrestlemania, pushfest, non-attacking, five one out runs and kick, constant stoppage snore the game has become 90 per cent of the time.

Yeah because it's ok to come on to the field and just start swinging at markers and throwing punches at defenders tackling you.

Josh Reynolds go home your drunk.

You know you're soft when you call that punching. The NRL is the softest bunch of wowser Helen lovejoys going and even they don't agree.

And Adam Reynolds - never heard of the f**ker.

If you think Wednesday night's contest was boring, then League is not the game for you.

Knew it wouldnt take long for some twat to try and make a point out of the one decent origin game in the past few years.

In the same thread as bitching like a sook about one of the things that helped make it more interesting, which was klemmer showing some aggression and a blues team playing the antithesis of the boring qld game that had infected origin for years.

Over the top aggression? I don't see how he did anything on Wednesday that was overly aggressive.

I mean here I was thinking that Rugby League was a game based around physicality.

I think it's a sad state of affairs if what Klemmer did on Wednesday is viewed as overly aggressive. On the contrary he was outstanding and totally dominated Qld. He rallied his teammates and led from the front, and it was f**king great to watch.

The game needs more of it. But sadly I'm almost surprised he didn't get charged for telling that merkin Parker to "get f**ked you merkin" because that's the direction the game is heading.

QLD definitely used every dirty trick in the book in game 1 and I'm sure they'll be at their grubby best if game 3 starts to slip away from them. Just won't have Slater there to give blokes lying on the ground an elbow in their back.

Yes, the Blues have been playing an expansive game for years. It's just the QLD team that is boring.

Could you be anymore of a f**kwit?
