POST GAME [2022 State of Origin - Game 3] QLD vs NSW

[Fernando]

Was thinking the same.

Cotter, Carrigan, Collins and Tino. With Flegs and others in the wings.we’ll be right

That + Welch (who is great at smashing Cleary) looks good.

holy ****........ joey has made this so awkward. is the **** back on the drugs?

Pretty piss poor his attitude it just ruins the mood of fatty and cam. let the boys enjoy themselves ffs

Dude, you think he ever actually got off them?

 

[tommy]

What was Joey johns problem?

 

[Kooly87]

Clearys record is starting to look like Pearce's

At least Pearce has the dignity of struggling against a generation of all time greats playing at the peak of their powers.

Cleary is getting routed by a team that includes guys like Brenko Lee and Tom Dearden.

 

[Kooly87]

Get in Patty.

You deserve your dues when you call them right mate.

I too believed he’d be a very, very good player, but just didn’t think he’d find himself in the same class as a genetic freak like Haas, but you certainly did.

I have to say over the course of this series and his early season Broncos form, I’m really pleased to say you appear to have got it spot on. Well called mate.

 

[Kooly87]

What was Joey johns problem?

3+ decades of drug abuse and being surrounded by sycophants all his life.

 

[Kooly87]

We needed the likes of Hunt, Ponga, DCE and Grant to step up to get us the win. They did that.

I wonder if Hunt's performances this series is making the selectors think twice about DCE at halfback.

I doubt it. Almost all his best work has been done at Dummy Half. The guy is a genuinely magnificent Dummy Half. I think you’d now have to say his work there in Origin has him ahead of the likes of Cook or any other Dummy Half in the game currently besides Grant.

He could have dominated in that position for years if only he’d at some point accepted that it was the position he plays his best football in.

Tbf, I think @1910 was on the Patty train before me!

I loved what I saw when he came into first grade but I just figured his ceiling might have him end up being probably in the category of a great club and rep level player, but perhaps not a generational talent like Fifita or Haas appeared to be at the time.

Currently, you’d have to say he’s looking like he absolutely belongs in their company and may yet prove the best of all three. I can’t say I saw that coming.

The Blues completely shat the bed in that second half and it was glorious! Fittler looked like he'd bitten into a lemon as well lol. Too funny.

 

[McHunt]

Carrigan is hands down the best player in this series. He will be an immortal

The question isn't whether he'll be captain: it's how long he'll have to wait.

Forget Fifi and Haas, I'm thinking more Petero and Webcke

 

[McHunt]

Tommy D was great tonight. Didn't let anyone down

He did exactly what was needed without getting rattled once. He even took down Paulo by himself at one point. **** that for a joke.

He reminds me a bit of Ben Hunt. Was never a flashy player but somehow always managed to get the job done and put himself in the right place at the right time. I don't know if we did the wrong thing by letting him go, but I'm glad he's found his feet. I thought we mishandled him pretty badly. Still, would I swap him for Ezra? Probably not.

What was Joey johns problem?

He's a sook....

 

[Sproj]

I've noticed all of the highlights videos seem to conveniently leave out Burton taking out Ponga as well.

And again, just on Ponga, that was one of the most complete fullback performances I've ever seen. He was safe as houses at the back and every single time he had the ball, something was happening / about to happen, every single time. This is not an exaggeration, he was THAT good.

 

[Kooly87]

The question isn't whether he'll be captain: it's how long he'll have to wait.

You’d assume at least until DCE and then Munster retires, but in Carrigan and Grant Queensland appear to have a couple of excellent leaders coming through.

 

[Kooly87]

Forget Fifi and Haas, I'm thinking more Petero and Webcke

Petero early on didn’t exactly look like he’d become an all time great. Even Bennett thought he wasn’t good enough to cut the mustard.

 

[winslow_wong]

Burton also makes a bee line for Gagai, probably just expecting some push amd shove hehe

One of Gagai’s greatest origin plays in my opinion. Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth and he would never have expected to cop it for being a grub in this day and age.
