POST GAME [2022 State of Origin - Game 2] NSW vs QLD

[winslow_wong]

Cam Smith still playing the ref, this time via the media:

Cam Smith says:

“I am hoping (he isn’t influenced). I don’t think he will be,” he said.

“Ashley Klein is a wonderful referee and there is a reason why he’s been given the job to officiate both games of the series. He is a wonderful referee and has been for a long time.

“I thought he did a great job in game one. He let the players play the game, he didn’t try to have too much of an impact on the match. That’s great for players and fans, to see the open style of football.

“There was a little bit spoken about the ruck speed and it was mentioned Queensland got away with a little bit in the ruck, but the numbers show there was very little difference.

“It was a matter of 0.2 of a second (advantage to Queensland). Visually, sometimes you can think a lot different to what the numbers show.

“As far as we’re concerned, we’re going to play a similar style to game one and hopefully that will be good enough.”

That nerd Ash Klein would be so giddy that cam smith gave him praise.

The fact that this game is not being played at 4PM is criminal.

Sunday arvo footy shits all over Sunday night footy.

It’s a travesty for sure

Better tv ratings. Everyone stays home and watches instead of going to a bbq at friends house.

Games also look better visually under lights. Late afternoon you have mixed lighting which can diminish the visual "product"

We also avoid Gus dribbling about Sunday afternoon footy

It pained me to do it but I have backed NSW

Let's smash the scum

 

[MrTickyMcG]

An on time kick off! Can’t believe it

 

[Super Freak]

That was very good pressure from QLD.

 

[Fozz]

Tedesco slips so often, you'd think he'd have invested in some longer studs by now.

 

[Super Freak]

It's an obstruction, Joey.

Shut up.

 

[Super Freak]

Why would you do that?

That was dumb. There was no chance.

Payne haas' value just keeps plummeting. I actually reckon he should have started from the bench, he doesn't have the aggression and it would save them a substitution with go forward straight away....

What the **** was Cobbo doing there?
