Knees-in-the-back Munster is a larrikin but Luai needs to be rubbed out of the game for not being nice to Queenslanders and enjoying winning....Whats the bet cheeky Luai gets Crawleys Beef of the Week?

Lol. Using Origin comparisons against Capewell to advocate for NRL-benchie Tyrone May providing injury cover centre in NRL. Let it go sweetheart. Tago's quickly becoming a better option for 14 than May.Only in games we're winning well (which we are most of the time). If we're losing the momentum he's a liability. QLD were dominating the ruck last year and often had NSW keeping deep out of their own end and he's great like that. Great on the front foot very bad on the back foot.
I believe at the time it someone was saying May should be dropped because Capewell can cover as a back up centre better/just as good or something like that.
He's good there when his teams running down hill. It's like when we murdered the Knights in the last round of the year in 2019, Billy Burns scored a hat trick against the Knights and had a blinder the next year we played a normal game with him at centre and he played badly and it was evident he was out of his depth. You could see this in game 2 last year with Capewell. Was a liability playing against Gutherson (who nobody acknowledges as a particularly great centre) in game 2 2020, got carved up easily.
Or for this try which is terrible by rep standards.
Then he played great during the next match when NSW's forwards got rolled. In any even match or if we're losing the battle up the middle or if it's back and fourth he's a big liability in defence. We shouldn't plan the team list like we're going to smash the opposition before the match has started unless we have no other option which what I was arguing last year and I hope people now see that it's a very bad option playing him like that.
If NSW's get easily rolled up middle like game 3 last year Capewell would do fine against Turbo too because NSW would have no space. Most of the time when they looked to go Turbo (getting the ball at centre not roaming) QLD would have time to get up off the line and Capewell would be on him before Tommy can do anything.
Exactly, they were doing this during their big run of series wins but didn't see NSW whinge about it.The Maroons forgot the treatment they dished out to Mitchell Pearce, and James Tedesco. They can dish it out, but, they can not cop it.
Every time there was a kerfuffle on the field, it was Kyle Feldt who was first in, arms flailing. He's a serial hothead. That is what that was all about. Kyle hardly earned any respect with his behaviour.And here goes the media yet again, having issues with Luai........
NSW star Jarome Luai’s act of absolute disrespect

There has been outages on varying platforms (ransomware, general maintenance, etc). Three days ago I couldn't get mail. It was my isp which had an outage. So if you have any problems, simply look up in a search engine if a particular website is down, just like the link here:For some reason mine isn't. Maybe someone is attempting to tell me I spend too much time on twitter. my page says 'something went wrong, try re-loading'......I'm using a lap top.
The author (obviously not a journalist) is more than likely a sour Queenslanduh who has written this story to set the platform of those idiots on NRL 360 to make the Qld supporters feel better about themselves.And here goes the media yet again, having issues with Luai........

Blues star Jarome Luai has been caught on camera again showing his Maroons opposition no respect.
The Panthers playmaker is a perfect 2-0 at State of Origin level as he and teammate Nathan Cleary steered NSW to a historic humiliation of Queensland in Game 2 at Suncorp Stadium.
The Blues cantered to a 26-0 win, setting a series of damning records in a combined 76-6 scorelineacross the two games of the series.
Luai’s brash on-field behaviour has received criticism this year, leading to suggestions his Penrith team is “arrogant”, while his clear disdain for his Origin opposition ruffled Queensland’s feathers following the series opener.
An image emerged after the series opener showing Luai standing over Felise Kaufusi and roaring, which reportedly led some Queenslanders to question if his confidence was tipping over to arrogance.
Should Daly Cherry-Evans be dropped as Queensland captain?
Yes
Yes, and he should be axed from the side altogether

His aggressive nature was spotted again late in Game 2 when the Blues wildly celebrated winger Brian To’o phenomenal try-saving tackle on Kyle Feldt.
Feldt was just two metres from the try line when he picked up a grubber kick from Daly Cherry-Evans but was stopped miraculously by To’o who knocked the ball out of his hands.
As Feldt was getting back to his feet and Blues teammates raced in to pounce on To’o, Luai was spotted waving his finger in Feldt’s face, in a disrespectful drive by.

It comes after Maroons greats bristled over his Game 1 antics.
Luai refused to apologise for his shouting at Kaufusi and said he was happy for it to put a target on his back.
The moment had been described by some as Luai “berating” Kaufusi.
His decision to take it to another level in Game 2 was symbolic of the Blues invincibility.
To’o’s try-saver was equalled earlier by Tom Trbojevic’s epic try-saving push on Xavier Coates as he dived for the line.
It showed the stark difference between the two teams.

“Protecting your try line like your life depends on it is everything Origin is built on,” Queensland legend Cooper Cronk said.
“Everyone can play when the ball is in your favour, but can you win moments when you don’t have the ball? And NSW have come up trumps all night.”
Queensland captain Daly Cherry-Evans even admitted in the post-match press conference that NSW showed a lot more hunger than his side, despite facing an embarrassing 2-0 result.
The performance of Cleary and Luai will leave Kangaroos selectors upset by Luai’s declaration earlier this year that he wants to represent Samoa at international level.
Cleary is certain to be selected as the starting halfback for the 2021 Rugby League World Cup, while Cherry-Evans and even Cameron Munster are suddenly in danger of being overlooked completely.
More like Qld are from the shallow end of the gene pool.QLD has a very shallow player pool. Not really many options for them
As a journo said more like a toddler pool haha
Hypocrisy at its finest. Hypocrisy is not a word they will know. Look at Munster, he got away with another grubby act.More like Qld are from the shallow end of the gene pool.
Judging by his character so far, when he leaves football I can't see this bloke in not getting into hot water. He simply has an itch to scratch.Hypocrisy at its finest. Hypocrisy is not a word they will know. Look at Munster, he got away with another grubby act.
I'm not saying May should be in the team. I'm saying Capewell should be our last choice at that.Lol. Using Origin comparisons against Capewell to advocate for NRL-benchie Tyrone May providing injury cover centre in NRL. Let it go sweetheart. Tago's quickly becoming a better option for 14 than May.
I don't want Tyrone May in the side. I'm not advocating for him. I'm advocating for Capewell to be our last choice.Lol.

Ah the irony of it all.Knees-in-the-back Munster is a larrikin but Luai needs to be rubbed out of the game for not being nice to Queenslanders and enjoying winning....
Or if Luai and Burton lead Panthers to victory over the Eels and shit all over Moses, Luai and Burton named as starting halves!Just a random thought Freddy mentioned the possibility of playing Mat Burton in origin 1. IF Jack Wighton starts at 5/8 and Jerome moves to half, Burton COULD be named on the bench as a utility. I don't think it will happen. If Wighton starts Cody Walker will probably be the bench utility. Just a thought.
Nice thought, but it would never happen.Or if Luai and Burton lead Panthers to victory over the Eels and shit all over Moses, Luai and Burton named as starting halves!
Im hoping Wighton gets promoted to and Api gets a run on the bench. Campbell Graham 18th man. Dont want anyone new in the team unless there's no choice.Or if Luai and Burton lead Panthers to victory over the Eels and shit all over Moses, Luai and Burton named as starting halves!
Personally, I would love to see Api get a run.Im hoping Wighton gets promoted to and Api gets a run on the bench. Campbell Graham 18th man. Dont want anyone new in the team unless there's no choice.
I think this game will be the easiest victory so far. Queensland were horrible in effort when series was there to be won still. Cant see them being any better with nothing except pride left to play for.
Although we don't know where Origin 3 will be held and how it will affect the bubble, gee I hope Nath and Romey can attend Origin 3. Would be awful for them if Moses and Wighton get to hold up that trophy when our Panther halves did all the hard work to win the series.
