2023 State of Origin - Game II Discussion

[JayPee]

NSW are the definition of a team playing a "nrl" style. Not going to work in this level of footy especially when the ruck is as slow as a wet weak.

Same as game 1 QLD taking their chances and Klein doing his best to get NSW over the line. How can Luai standing over DCE and slowing the play the ball not be a penalty??????????????

Klown Klein is just pulling 6 agains and bullshit penalties out of his arse.

How good is the QLD defence which is forcing NSW into mistake after mistake.

 

[JayPee]

I love the Dux ad....

I've got maroon eyes painted on but how the **** are people acting like the blues are getting the ref calls tonight. Both our tries were bloody dubious at best...

Penalty and six agains are 6-2 and our first one was like 3mins in.

Luai not conceding a six again when he blatantly just stood over Cherry... is a clear crowding the ruck

Teddy disrupting Cherry after the linebreak is at minimum a 6 again, but nearing a professional foul

 

[Super Freak]

We need to score first in the second half.

After being on the end of a Maloney pass that was about 5 meters forward and allowed for a NSW try many seasons ago I will take any luck that goes our way in any game.

It’s their own fault for thinking club combinations would carry over to origin.

I think Moses has been the only one trying to break out of that mold so far

They are definitely getting a good general play whistle. Tbh you can penalise every tackle. So fucking slow.

Agree. He isnt getting much help from the rest of the spine.

You can... but Klown is only blowing one way so far.

He was quick to blow a penalty on the Fifita leg pull, even though To'o was going nowhere, because there was a tackler on his head... he didn't even drag the leg around to the side to pull To'o out of alignment.

It was a lazy effort, but a pretty crap penalty to blow, unless you're going to blow every slowing down... then he lets go Luai standing over the top of DCE

 

[JayPee]

I dont understand the cook to centre move. Has Murray been on the field? Better of having him in the centres. Cook has blown a number of half chances. Another fittler head scratcher

 

[mrslong]

DCE and Munster have been unbelievable.
Harry grant has been ordinary imo, too many stutter steps like Turpin. It’s doing my head in.

reckon NSW would be better served with Cook at 9 then Robson.

 

[Santa]

DCE getting better and better every origin.

 

[ZTop]

Flegler was shit. Cardigans been on another level as usual

Every now and then his speed looks like he could create something, but Nanai got through him easily so he'll be a target for us.

Plus it's a rough call to have Robson playing 80mins... although I suspect Cook will move to 9 when Robson is fucked and Murray or Young will move to centre

 

[Wolfie]

Our forwards havent made the meters NSW have, but they are just more physical when its mattered imo.

Yeah letting Luai just stand on top of DCE like that was disgusting making absolutely no effort to step back from the tackle it allowed the NSW line to get back in defence, DCE couldn't play the ball even if he tried like that.
