2024 State of Origin - Game I Discussion

[Wolfie]

Didnt look like we played that well really and still put on 38

 

[BroncsFan]

If we had our full strength pack we would have destroyed this lot. Their forwards are powder puff apart from Leinu for his 5 mins he is on the field.

Madge with the HIA tactic to keep him fresh without having to interchange him twice... bringing that storm coaching to the origin arena

 

[Harry Sack]

They absolutely have though. If this was 13 on 13 I think they win comfortably.

Too hard to say tbh. In that scenario they still have Sualhehehe and we have Walsh.

 

[_wwong]

Juice can only sustain him for so long.

He blew his load after all that screaming.

 

[Bull Shark]

Playing with 12 men gives them a bit of a free pass. They can play without any expectation of winning the game. Totally different 13 on 13 because they would have been expected to win this.

Yeah I get that, it does change the mindset and approach for both teams

 

[The Boss]

Hard to really take much from the game. Send off ruined contest

 

[Brocko]

Chez showing class none of the blue pricks deserve asking Hynes about his calf and if he was all good

 

[Culhwch]

Cameraman was as bored with Jurbo as Madge was.

 

[BroncsFan]

I still wonder what the plan for Cobbo would have been if Walsh hadn't gone off

We may never know... NSW will always target Walsh and attack him late to try and get him from the field.

An outside back on the bench is almost a necessity with how teams will target Walsh moving forward

The over hyped rugby flog did that all by himself.

 

[Browny]

Glad we kicked on after playing like crap for the first 15 of the second half.

But seriously Klein makes Angel Hernandez look elite. Didn’t even try to hide his leg ups, Qld couldn’t get a quick ptb with all their tactics and how many high shots he missed.

 

[Midean]

Asking the Hammer if he trains at Fullback

 

[JayPee]

Moses has to come in you would think for NSW. Hynes was brutal. That will make a huge difference. Especially the kicking game. Moses' is elite.

 

[Super Freak]

I actually think there were some positives for NSW.

Physically they were all over us for a long period and kept the game a contest until they inevitably started to tire.

 

[Browny]

Asking the Hammer if he trains at Fullback

That’s NRL journalism lol

 

[BroncsFan]

Nah, we still have Walsh in that scenario and score at least 3 razzle dazzle tries from him alone.

Unless NSW's actual tactic of only conceding a sin bin instead of a straight send off had actually occurred

 

[Super Freak]

3-4 weeks for Sualli?

2 weeks max.

 

[Alec]

Dearden was really impressive. He's still young but if he keeps developing his game, QLD could be in good hands with him and Mam.
