State of Origin 1 - 2024

[Draginzaaar]

Hynes is a complete myth at this level

His 1st attacking kick set us on a downward spiral and all his kicks since have been Hunt like.

He kicked for the Lomax try.

 

[Old Timer]

Burton & Moses should be in next game I wonder if Madge has any balls

Jurbo probably a poor selection as well we need someone to match the intensity of big Spencer

 

[Gippsy]

Yep, frustrating to watch.

Hynes out of his depth. Tedesco can no longer cut it at this level. All forwards can be proud of their effort

They need an organising half.

 

[Draginzaaar]

Agreed, still think he is more a 6 than a 7. NSW has lacked direction/organisation in attack.

Moses to come in.

 

[Old Timer]

He kicked for the Lomax try.

And?

 

[Greek Saint]

Imagine if hunt decides to play like that for saints week in week out

 

[<StGeorgeDragons>]

He kicked for the Lomax try.

Other than that he was very average. He looked really out of his depth and lacking the right tempo.

 

[<StGeorgeDragons>]

Imagine if hunt decides to play like that for saints week in week out

not a chance

And impressed that the blues have held on so long. Qld should have blown this out and won 50+

Blues showed enough to have me believing the series isn’t over. If Walsh and Suali didn’t leave the game it would have been tight and advantage nsw. Will be hard from here but if they take the right mentality they will go ok in game two.

40 mins as a No 9.. doubt it

Hynes was terrible

Hunt needs to play no 9 for Dragons Cameron smith for Melbourne was in his late 30s when he retired and was no 9 all his career in the nrl.

I agree in terms of effort
We need better attack
I am not sure about Madge as coach
Skater will out coach him

Cam plsyed 80
Twice the time and twice the hooker

He kicked for the Lomax try.

1 good things doesn’t make up for the hospital passes, missed tackles, lazy in defence, crap kick options. He was the worst one on the park

 

[BLM01]

Suali is a thug at club level and proved himself as a thug a SOO level.
The idiot has track record and will be suspended for a few weeks. And never play SOO again.
That tackle / SHOULDER charge was the dirtiest tackle ever.
it ruined the blues chance to win.

Dirtiest tackle ever.. yeh OK
He wrapped his arms
Walsh was falling
Careless at best

He was rubbish.

I know right? I agree it was a send off but that’s in today’s environment, reminded me of Fuimaono on Pap in magic round.

As for the dirtiest tackle ever 2010Dragons, go watch John Hopoates effort on Keith Galloway and then come back to me.

 

[FlickFlano]

hunt as a hooker either gives quick service or runs straight.
hunt as a half gives slow service and runs sideways .. sure he lays on a try or so a game but kills the teams momentum and takes time/space away from our edges. More often than not and plays right to the expense of our left.
I mean Ray had a blinder becuase he was actually given quick ball from direct running halves which gave him time and more impoortantly the ability to run at single players not gang tackles.

No wonder when he didnt play we scored on our left. Wouldnt surprise me if the dragons were actually the worst side at left side scoring in the comp.

Hunt is a fantastic 9. The big plusses in his game also come from 9 ie some of his 40-20 efforts. But as a 7 he is mediocre at best. The fact that every play has to run through him means that there is no surprise his try invovlements are high - he is involved in every bloody play.
