POST GAME 2026 State of Origin

Ponga’s style of catching a bomb when there are no defenders contesting…….needs discussion. He is going to break his back or something.
Its the slater style of approach. Legs out.
Remember klemmer copping a flykick to the jaw?

It’s costing us some metres. Why can’t he just land and run when no one is around? Look how cobbo’s line break was created.

He has probably expected some kind of chase or pressure from NSW and it hasnt been there. Only been on Cobbo

No slaters was way different. Ponga looks like a humpback whale breaching for the hell of it. Slaters was like some karate move.

Walker is a master of those short kicks so Teddy is playing with fire

It's reminiscent of Billy... and also when Walsh was getting lessons from Billy in 2023.
