POST GAME 2026 State of Origin

[tommy]

Lockyer dropped slater at some point when he was selector iirc. Then he got back in the team when we lost.

Hard to believe someone who spent his entire career salty that him and his mates weren’t signed by us, creating new ways to cheat and wanting us to lose would have it out for us years later. Crazy thought.

Yes !

 

[Big Del]

As a result, if he keeps snubbing Walsh, I want him to keep coaching.

Check mate !

The way the game is officiated atm I couldn’t care less about origin and the fact our boys aren’t picked is the cherry on top.

What can I say, I'm a nice guy. I felt sorry for you for some reason and wanted to make you feel better.

hook it to my veins

did we gain anyone with the new eligibility rules?

Nobody worthwhile. Nikora and Brimson

How the **** Ezra and Shiba have made this squad is absolutely laughable. I’d have Reece well above the two of them and he obviously hasn’t been going too well.

I expect NSW win, and fairly convincingly.

Looks like both sides of fans have been blowing up about the selections from each coach all day.

Good old fashion clown fight for game 1. Im hoping for it to be 1-1 either way. Partner won tickets for game 3. She is a blue too.

Shibasaki being picked is insane, he shouldn't even be playing first grade. Mam also a bizarre call, but not to the same extent. Maybe a bit of time in Origin camp might whack some form into them. Worth a shot.

Walsh not getting picked is a mistake, but it's good news for Broncos fans. He's got a massive target on his back (or more accurately, eye sockets) whenever he puts on a Maroons jersey.

Im happy they got picked. They're going that bad this might just pick them up.
Not missing a game either.
Walsh hopefully got some clarity from Slater why the current Ozzie fullback wasn't picked.
Too many errors Reece, not even Qld can overcome 6 or more errors per game from 1 player.

Only thing I can imagine with Walsh why he wasnt picked is his defensive side of the game. He was great for most of last year. This year not so much.

The Capewell try yesterday was head scratching. He just ran into the line for no reason when they had numbers and it was a simple kick through the line.

Didn’t we have 12 players at that time? What else was he meant to do?

Kevvie dropped Slater for Boyd. Tears etc

Stay behind the line and defuse the kick??? They didnt have numbers for him to need to run right into the line.

Lockyer was selector though.

Boyd was the incumbent, so it was more like he was over-looked rather than dropped.

 

[Harry Sack]

The biggest actual headscratcher for me is Shiba tbh.
