State of origin 2025

[maple_69]

Our core wouldn’t be the big match pros they are without Origin. You cop some injuries and some tired players but you get guys that win you premierships.

This series has been lacking the intensity but usually theyre the most pulsating games of the year. Dogs Panthers was a more gripping contest than either Origin by a margin this year.

Problem with Origin this year is that NSW is too good. Strangled the life out of the contest on the first game, and the second was managed to create a fast finish. As I have said before, my heart was beating through my chest in Origin 2 so I thought it was a pretty exciting finish.

Goal kicking and 9 straight penalties beat NSW in game 2. NSW will be more disciplined for this game and you wouldn't think they could miss that many goals again, if given the chance.

Queenslanders and the media making out like it was some kind of miracle performance by QLD in game 2 are kidding themselves. Even Slater know this, hence the changes to a winning team.

Perth was also played in a monsoon. Apart from those conditions just being a leveller for an inferior team, the Blues were dominated by Panthers who just suck in the wet for whatever reason. Throw in kicking being so important in the wet and our primary kicker had a bung groin.

Am I the only one who wants to see Martin really put pressure on Munster tonight. Feel for the guy losing his father, but the guy gets such a free pass for lots of dodgy, niggle stuff he does in the game and if Queensland win all we will hear about is Munster.

Does this make me a bad person?

Munster probably wouldn't want it any other way to be fair. Munster vs Martin is an as almost iconic Rugby League Duo as @Chins and @Luke Bowden

No. Sad that his father passed away no doubt, but if you’re good enough to play you take everything that comes with it.

Luai has already lost this for nsw.

 

[Port Panther]

Klien doing Klien things

 

[PennyPanthers81]

Martin is busted. Hook him ffs, panthers have a premiership to win.

 

[Oldpanther86]

Nsw don't even care. This will forever haunt Cleary’s legacy.

 

[Munky]

Dyl has looked off the pace all year.

Will probably be his last series.

Cleary invisible.

Martin not doing the tough runs.

 

[Port Panther]

How did they let that little twirp score then omg

 

[BxTom]

The first try came off a pass which was clearly half a metre forward. I have been watching league for over 50 years and the vast majority of such passes would pulled up. Apparently in those 50 years we have lost the technology... I stopped watching. What a farce.

Take our Boys off!!! Daley is a dudd!!
