POST GAME 2026 State of Origin

[Galah]

I can’t see where the ball is but gwizz that’s close

 

[Ondi]

It’s been said already but that argument with the bunker will live with me for a long time. I’m so wound up by it the rest is a blur.

Serious question, do they do a presser after origin? Would love to here what Billy thinks of that!

 

[Culhwch]

Post game petty determined not to talk about it too soon.

 

[ParraMania]

Carrigan didn’t get enough minutes I’m thinking.

I was shocked at this

yeah there will be a presser.

I think we all know what the first, second and third questions will be (probably for both coaches)

Apart from that dodgy tedesco penalty Klein has had a great half. We seem to be the only one testing him in our D 20. Daring him to call 6 agains and he doesnt really want to. Clearly he has been told to referee the game differently and how much better does it look.

Great half.

.

Tale of 2 halves....

 

[Brocko]

Carrigan and Cotter didn't get enough mins.

Carrigan was probably one of if not our best middle, up there with Plath who was great.

For Broncos sake, glad he didn't play many..

I love Joey saying he bleeds blue and he thinks the Ponga call was wrong. He also bleeds Newcastle who Ponga plays for. If it was anyone else he'd be screaming send off.

A few other points:
- I thought Toia was pretty dissapointing I'd be looking to replace him
- I thought Munster stifled the attack as well. And while some of his defensive was ok i thought much of it was poor. He was lucky his one on one miss was called back for an obstruction. I'm not sure how many games Munster has left in the Maroon jersey
-i don't know why cotter wasn't left to play the entire 80 on the edge. Him and Capewell should both be a set and forget for 80 with Finefeuiaki on the bench.
- Staggs was quiet early on but looked dangerous towards the back end.

 

[Elbows]

Staggs was contained by Hammer but Capewell couldn’t cover him

 

[Foordy]

I think Walker / Dearden could be our long term halves pairing.

Walker was excellent for the majority of that game

 

[Swordfish]

Daley is hilarious to watch whenever he was shown on screen through out the game.

 

[ParraMania]

Daley's Half Time speech has leaked.

"I promise you guys...if you lose, I am staying on as coach for the next five years."

 

[johnyE]

Now that just must,must prove absolutely ****ing definitively ,that this Bastard of a Ref is clearly unfit for the job.

 

[MrTickyMcG]

When you are trying hard to impress a (literal) bird.

 

[Cult]

Nathan Cleary IS a system halfback. Only the system was created by PVL, not Ivan.

 

[The Boss]

Looked at it again clear send off KP didn't even attempt to tackle clear shoulder charge

 

[Foordy]

Billy's answer when asked about the Ponga send of ... "It is what it is"
