State of origin 2025

[Munky]

Cleary obviously isn't fit.

Should never have played.

His Origin performances are a huge gap in his resume.

 

[Caged Panther]

Did anyone really expect anything different with Daley as coach?

Bloke is a proven loser.

 

[cain3y]

NSW need the great man Ivan Cleary.

 

[unKwn]

I don’t think Nathan will be picked for origin again

 

[Oldpanther86]

Hope Nathan makes all the money because his legacy just died.

Good. We have premierships to win.

 

[Munky]

Nathan hasn't been fit for an Origin series in years.

Playing this series crocked has really f**ked his legacy.

Even with possession and territory he's looked terrible.

I don't think the space cadet and Daley have helped him either.

 

[unKwn]

Cleary and Luais attack looked very pedestrian. Ran the same play on the left about 1000 times. Never really threatened on the right. Only Bizza and Haas deserve to keep their spot for next year

 

[The Realist]

Dyl has looked off the pace all year.

Will probably be his last series.

Us Panthers fans love him for what he does for us, but he isn't a Rep Fullback. He just isn't a dynamic or threatening enough runner or have good enough ball playing skills.

 

[BossleyPanther]

Let the real games begin!!

Hopefully the boys pulled through

What an A.. Daley is, don't we have someone better?

Nah he was awesome in Origin last year.

This year he has suffered the Teddy fate.

He's lost a yard of pace and no longer able to break the first tackle on every kick return and fourth play run.

NSW are so dumb, we will probably go back to Brad Fittler.

Zzzzz.

Taking off my Penrith cap.

Cleary - Worst Origin performance of his career. He will be extremely disappointed.

Martin - Hand stuffed. Otherwise unsighted. Dylan Lucas is playing for NSW in 2026 and someone needs to miss out...

Yeo - Big effort as always. Bad miss on Grant and looked really fatigued.

Edwards - Same as Yeo. Will cop flak for his attack but that isn't why he was picked.

To'o - Brilliant series. But like Cleary looks to be playing within himself a bit...we best hope that we can take the chance to rest him soon.

Overall for NSW: Game over at halftime. It was lost on poor defence in the first half. NSW have to watch the tape and make tough decisions for 2026.

 

[Kilkenny]

The Maroons too good, result was never in doubt.

They just never gave us a sniff, we were too structured and never really looked like creating good opportunities.

Not surprised really QLD just find a way to get the job done.

I thought Robson was good but Watson offers little. Time to get Kenny in.

 

[Kilkenny]

I think the blues had issues in a number of areas and question marks over some of the selections, but it just comes back to QLD being a better team.

The post mortem will lay some of the blame at the feet of Cleary and certain others but we lack pace, front rowers Haas aside, and in respect of our representatives time for Yeo to retire from SOO, Dylan tried his guts out but a year older won’t be there next year and Liam as well time for a change. I think Nathan if he can get himself 100% fit is worth another series and while Brian’s work rate is 2nd to none sometimes his lack of speed is an issue.

 

[Fangs]

Robson was okay. Watson came on and we looked a bit more dangerous I thought.

We cleared out the spine to let Cleary run the show. And he didn't run the show when chances were given to him. I think that will cause a re-think in 2026. Robson and Edwards will be under huge pressure to keep their spots. Moses straight in over Luai.

Dear me

QLD were flawless with the ball. Can only recall one time they made a bad decision running it wide with 11 minutes to go. Otherwise they kept the ball in play the whole 80 minutes and it was NSW who fatigued and it showed.

Dearden was best on field by an absolute mile. Brilliant defence. If Mal was picking the Australian squad for the Kangaroos tour then he is 100% a part of it.
