Obviously. That strong NSW side should have easily beaten weak QLD in 2020 (maybe they lost because they had too many Parramatta players in Paulo, Brown and Gutherson?) and they were $1.37 favourites going into the decider against a weak QLD team without their best player.
Penriths dominance only started in 2020 so it’s meaningless to consider any data before then in this example.
It's wrong to think that Origin result should reflect on the Panthers squad. The Panthers results reflect on the Panthers while the Blues' results only reflect on the NSW Origin team. It's sour grapes to think NSW would've gone better with fewer Penrith players (or at least more Parramatta players). It's three games. The 2-1 swing tells us nothing meaningful. It requires fans and journos to impose a narrative, just like in the finals.
That was f**king 17 years ago and as you would put it with your bullish analytical mind an outlier. They did manage to string 8 games in a row coming home but we have a coach that can barely string a sentence together let alone a massive winning streak.
With Bea as coach a window has never been open, it’s more like peeping through a filthy keyhole.
You can take down that that Ciraldo pic merkin, back to baldie ffs!!
We are dealing with what’s possible not what is likely. Otherwise why even follow the Eels?
Merkin where the f**k is your evidence for this?
I never said that NSW would have gone better with fewer Penrith players though I do think NSW would have won easily if Latrell and Turbo were in the side.
