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

[Nerd]

Great game and despite a few leg ups from Klein at the end the boys hung in there.

Wonder how Staggs shoulder is? Pretty forgettable debut from the lad

Really? I didn't think he was too bad. They were having a lot of trouble tackling him and never really got the ball in an attacking position.

Its always an issue with him unless he evolves his game. Without good early ball he is very easily contained. He really should have a chat with Hodgo about how he can improve by going looking for the ball. He was bang average tonight.

Staggs was a shitload better than the hack who came on off the bench to replace him

Freddy wanted to jam as many Penrith players in as possible and it backfired quite obviously

Freddy didn't take long in the presser to complain about the reffing.

There’s a idea at the moment that strike centres like Staggs shouldn’t be wasting energy doing the ugly hit ups and should save themselves for the big plays. All well and good but at some point you need to go looking for it.

Only gamble and Reynolds know how to use Staggs.

You do. If you get paid the big money you have to be involved in the game, you cant wait it for the game to come to you.

3. Munster - his second half was immense, with some clutch plays to save the game
2. Patty - absolute beast of a performance. he is built for Origin footy
1. Val - great performance, better once he moved to wing; especially in defence

very, very unlucky to miss out on a point... Cotter - a brilliant debut from him, like Patty he is built for Origin footy

Yep!

He's made 7 runs for 70 metres, that's not bad at all, he barely got clean ball too

Freddy saying corked shoulder for Staggs.

 

[Brocko]

Fan questions in the press conference. Wtf

hope he has it in his game to do that. but to me i never got the impressive that staggs is what id call a footballer. just another extremely gifted athlete.

problem is gifted athetes can only get you so far. you also need to have game awareness and what we call football smarts. hodgo had that in spades.

not really sure if i have ever seen that in staggs in his career to date not even a glimpse. hes just a supreme explosive athlete which does have its place in the game but ill be surprised if he ever reaches the level of hodgo or the other great centres of our game.

 

[Skathen]

What a game.

Carrigan was close to motm on debut.

Cobbo was amazing on debut, no errors, deft kick for a try, great runs when it really counted.

Few disappointing dropped balls and Klein not calling obvious knock ons etc.

If we had 17 all game and a decent ref, bit less dropped ball and we put 30 on them tonight.

Probably thinks Klein didn't give the Blues enough leg up when QLD had them trapped down their end of the field.

Basically said he was scared to blow a penalty and QLD slowed their PTB too much. Also said Paulo was held back in the scrum.

 

[Brotherdu]

Was a very fast game. Not sure if the Broncos QLD players will have the energy to back up against Canberra. This could be a very low energy game for us, I'm curious to see how we go..

 

[Nerd]

The scary part for NSW is that we probably bombed at least 2 tries from passing to the wrong back up player after a break was made.
