I don't think Freddy should've bench Walker in that second half. Qld were all over them despite whatever Teddy and Cook threw at them all game.

Ado-Carr and Latrell might be good attacking players but their defence cost NSW this game and most likely the series.

Moving forward I'd like to see a controlling half out there, and some actual good bench forwards to lighten the loads from the starting lads.

Bit harsh. He's only a kid. A kid with a big frame and motor. He will be an unbelievable front rower as he matures.

Drop Crichton and Wighton.

We will win the series still.

Looked completely out of his depth. Gave away the penalty that really changed the game. He’s only played like 8 first grade games and it showed in his inexperience.

Crichton is appalling and should consider himself extremely lucky to have even been picked for this game. Don’t know what he offers and is hopefully dropped for game 2. Wighton....meh

Never seen so limited role expected of a half as NSW expect from Cleary. He tackles and kicks. His long kicking was ok but short kicking was ordinary. Created nothing.

He is lucky Sticky isn't the coach. The half back owns the result.

Now Freddy is stuffed. Drop him they ruin him. Keep and they lose the series and he is Mitchell Pearce all over again. Its s big turnaround for him to lift his team to a win

I would like to see him destroyed. Especially with that chin of his.

The coach made a selection howler.
A friggin series threatening bad call.

Bennett speaks out in a presso 4 weeks ago that nsw can't possibly pick the pennie halves as theyre in miserable form.

Fittler shoots back at bennett for sticking his beak in and goes one further by letting all and sundry know he is sticking loyal.

And whats the bet the solution for game two will be stick with Cleary and just add Maloney ? An improvement , yes . But not the solution. Gould even said after the game , State of origin is not the place to play your halves back into form .

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - latrell is a flat track bully, only beats up on smaller wingers.

That left edge was diabolical with walker and latrell.

The bench management I could not work out. Klemmer was burnt out with 60 mins straight, turbo snr and Frizell were off for far too long, with crighton in particular giving us nothing.

In short,qld played well but we lost that game.

Can Ch9 stop with the histrionics and players holding the ball with 1,000 yard stares of glory, under studio lights?

f**ken f**ks sake. Just get on with the game & cut out 45-minutes of sack slappin’, over hyped drivel. Blow time on, let’s go.

Nup. Ch9 crank up the “story”. Just like The Voice, Who Wants to be a Thousandaire & Ninja Warrior.

No story, no show doesn’t apply to Origin. The game is the goods here, not the f**ken “I was kidnapped by aliens & fell outta the spaceship into a crocodile infested swamp, attacked by a swarm of killer bees but I still made it to the dentist “.
