3 reasons NSW lost:
2. no one started a fight
Seriously mate, that is one of the biggest reasons why we lost.
For weeks now, I have heard Tommy Raudonikis on the radio stating that he "hates bloody Queenslanders".
Funny adds, but at Origin time, that is exactly how we should feel.
I seriously didn't see
ONE NSWelshman looking for or itching
for a fight tonight, or even one NSWelshman wanting to or looking to bash the hell out of or lay one on a Queenslander.
This is ORIGIN FFS. Where was the aggression.
Tonight was just a glorified NRL match, and Coach Bellamy should be ashamed of himself for having our team go out there and play with such sterility.
Our selectors are also hugely to blame.
Watmough and Creagh are great players. In fact, they are superb club players. But they have neither the skill nor aggression nor mental apptitude to match it at S.O.O. level.
I still cannot believe such Origin ready players like Gallen, Bird, O'Donnell and Hindmarsh weren't selected. Tough bastards. The type of players that QLD pick year in and year out.
They may not be the best in their positions, but they will fight until they die.
I seriously cannot believe the lack of aggression displayed from our players tonight.
And to think they have been surrounded by former Origin legends of the past for the past week.
EVERY NSW PLAYER WHO WORE THE BLUE JERSEY TONIGHT SHOULD BE f**kING ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES AND HIGHLY EMBARRESSED.
OVER PAID WANKERS.
Suity
