State of origin 2025

[PANTHERMIKE]

This is my concern it is like they will play 2 origins in quick timing with the Dogs game being of high class.

It would have been almost 2 weeks since the dogs game when they run out for Origin.

Agree with Yeo, he's looked more gassed towards the end of games than I've ever seen him look.

Ivan has looked hell bent on shortening his career for some reason

Hasn't been commented at all really but for the guys who played the Warriors on Saturday arvo, they all faced the Dogs fresh off a bye on a 5 day turnaround with a jump across the ditch thrown in. Cleary/To'o at least didn't have much of a benefit of the 3 extra days either given they're injured. Makes matching the Dogs in a game where both sides were just redlining for 80 minutes that much more impressive.

He has a tear though and I don't know, but can't you make it bigger? If so we have an issue. We got Nathan too who can't kick goals etc .. I absolutely hate Origin and it's a waste of time

As I've said many times before. Origin only exists to make feral Qlders feel better about themselves.

Hate it with a passion.

A lot of panthers fans love it. Most pretend they don't now because we're good and it effects us more these days.

I've been calling for it to be stand alone for over 10 years I'd say

I'm definitely not pretending.

Panther fans love origin.
You get to watch 6 (if you include Smith) current Panthers play for NSW.
3 past players to play for NSW.
2 (if you include Hopgood) past players to play for QLD.
What's not to like.

I have thought this way for a good number of years. Origin has never been a level playing field. It's completely tilted towards Qld and their needs.....hence my earlier comments.

Footy fans are bad for calling out refs but that game 2 wasn't sport, it was WWE

Chins, I've thought this way all the way back to the Barry Gomersall days.

And it’s worth a lot of money to the NRL. The welfare of players? Who cares.
