State of Origin Game 1 - QLD vs NSW

[Wolfie]

He has played his 2 good games this year already..... so glad we didnt sign him... and losing that origin standard prop wallace was a big loss for us too....

I dont mind Napa to a point when he is smashing blokes. When he isnt, he isnt any better than somebody like Mitchell Dodds.

That Addo Carr try, wow that was soo forward

It should have never gotten to that point if someone just tackles Tedesco

 

[Broncs_Fan]

Papalii was our best player. Surprised me how good he went. Bent the line nicely with every carry - which is hard in Origin.

Was that the one in the first half? I laughed my ass off when ch9 refused to show a replay where you could see whether it was forward or not. They always do that.

Fuckin A.

Refs were shit tonight - a lot of momentum shifting calls against QLD.

He was fired up tonight. Nothing scarier than when islanders get fired up.

Losing 3 big players in Cronk, Smith and Thurston has really dropped us in it. Our succession plan really needed at least one of them to play this year. I'd be on the Phone to Cronk personally.

 

[Scorchie]

I hope Slater is back and i’d play Morgan at 7, Hunt dropped.

I think Morgan needs a spell for a while. Oates needs to come back

 

[Stix]

Cooper and Hess can **** off. Chambers was rocks and diamonds and I thought Morgan did ok. Napa offers nothing.
All in all though it wasn't a bad effort.

Was there even a penalty blown in the second half? I'm all for a free flowing game but c'mon...

The second half, it was the match winner. At least 5 meters forward.

Typical sore losers in this thread. NSW deserved the win even though we played our hearts out.

No they didn't deserve it, they won off a try from a forward pass.

Morgan played well I thought.

Did Cronk officially retire from rep duties? I can't remember.

 

[Renegade]

you know, I didn't think we played that badly.

fix up the 50 odd missed tackles and we'll be fine.

 

[Mightybroncs2k17]

I think the addition of oates would have been really handy just to get those big early meters late in the game and get us in the front foot.

Also happy to McGuire blow the cobwebs out tonight and hopefully will be ready for a big one come Sunday. He looked a bit flat after a few weeks off but tried his ass off as usual.

 

[BroncosAlways]

New found respect for T Trbojevic after that game.

Was belted every chance by Inglis and rightfully so, but amazing to see Inglis single him out post match and give him the credit he deserves.

NSW deserved to win for sure, but what the **** refs. There were some crucial decisions tonight that were wrong, how hard was it too see that the maloney pass was forward

Very lucky not to lose by 30... Scoreline is imo very flattering.
