OFFICIAL 2025 State of Origin - Game I Discussion

[mrslong]

Our line speed is ****ing atrocious - NSW are jumping early, we need to do the same to be a chance

 

[Brocko]

I think our discipline has been atrocious, but that last 35 secs spamming 6 agains into the no penalty try is garbage from Klein and Bunker. Absolutely garbage

 

[The Boss]

How is that not a penalty try when it’s a professional foul. Coates had the ball in his hands.

Cause think Mitchell could of held him up

 

[MrTickyMcG]

Cleary held a player down for an eternity. Not even conceding a 6 again.

Because it was already a 6 again. Makes a complete mockery of the rule.

 

[MrTickyMcG]

Cause think Mitchell could of held him up

I thought the new line of thinking (which I agree with) is that denying them the opportunity to score the try was enough.

The idea that you had to be certain they are going to score is dead.

How the **** do these Melbourne grubs get away with murder on the weekends but get pinged for everything in Origin?

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

Anyone complaing about penalties is dumb

They've all been fair

In EVERY SINGLE TACKLE in origin there is a face rub, sneaky high shoulder, leg pull, dog shot on the ground, face rub, or 2nd effort in the ribs..... EVERY SINGLE TACKLE.

Yes they were all penalties... in an nrl game... I GUARANTEE if you zoomed in on 95% of the tackles like they did after the penalties you could MAKE a penalty out of them. That's the problem. He wants to penalise face rubs, the ball would be in play for about 5 mins in origin, yet qld are the only team doing it? Lol dream on...

And qld are playing shit... broncos-like.

 

[MrTickyMcG]

Would love the ref to make them play it on the mark as well.

There was one tackle where Barnett had run 5 metres and we hadn't even stood up to play the ball yet.

Of course they're allowed to, and we're not. It's like watching a Broncos game.

 

[Foordy]

Clown sent it up looking for a professional foul .... Never even occurred to the incompetent ****s that a penalty try should come into the equation

 

[_wwong]

Haas just loves origin playing for a good team. It was never about Madge getting the best out of him. It’s the players.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Gus and Johns really is a punish.

 

[Nerd]

Klein must have thought he was reffing against us. A leg pull penalty that wasn't. Then a 6 again on the first tackle with 30 seconds to go then another 6 again with 10 seconds to go. If a QLD winger did what Toho did Klein would have went up to the bunker looking for a penalty try.

Saying that the cockroaches are playing mistake free football but it doesn't hurt when they are going early in defence with no repercussions.

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

How the heck did Coates not catch that

Xavier "dropsy" coates you are talking about? Catches about 2% of attacking kicks, heaps over rated aerial threat. That's why Melbourne make him tap back now, couldn't catch a cold

 

[Nerd]

Gus and Johns really is a punish.

Yep. I always watch on Kayo and had forgotten how pathetic the 9 commentary team is.

 

[Aldo]

Harry Grant is a handbrake and Munster hasn't done anything for years.

 

[JayPee]

There has been 1 of those penalties. And it was in an upright tackle and it was clear as day by carrigan. It was dumb. They havent penalised any face rubs or grapple tackles by either team

He’ll get try of the year still for jumping 10 metres in the air for that try. Cobbo should be all over Coates in the pecking order if only he could be more professional.
