2024 State of Origin - Game I Discussion

[Big Del]

I'll go on record as saying his job was "Don't let anyone in without credentials" as opposed to what you seem to think "Don't let anyone in without credentials unless they claim to be Ben Ikin"

And don`t take anyone from the Qld dressing rooms word for who they might be .
No ID No admit .

I don't need to go into much more than what @Midean has already said, but...

What if Ikin had left the QRL the day before and it hadn't been made public yet ...or even more specifically what if he had been terminated the day before and wanted to head inside to cause trouble ... Trust me, I've seen this exact scenario before. Sometimes there is a delay or even oversight of passing this information down the chain until it reached the security officers. There is a very good reason why you don't grant someone entry to a ID mandatory area if that person has no ID access

Not to mention that Ikin is the QRL boss, not the boss of the venue.

All good .
But the big hole in all your checks and balances and fear of retribution from insurance companies is.
The story said some one else gave him their ID and he was allowed in ...

If it had happened to NSW they would be saying the complete opposite.

Imagine if in their scenario Val came flying out of the line and took Teddy out in the same manner, but then only got binned. Burton would come on and Crichton would move to fullback.

If Val then comes back after 10mins and Qld win, they'd be blowing up and saying the rules need to change because that should be a send off in any game and origin shouldn't matter.

It's just media being completely incapable of removing their bias.

None of them are putting the focus on the idiotic decision of Suaalii to turn himself into a missile and thinking "yeah this is a good idea"... how is it that Buzz is the sane person from NSW side of the argument.

I think it's because he's said the whole time that they shouldn't have picked Suaalii lol. Good old Buzz.

Actually, the story as I recall was someone came out and got him and escorted him in.

Again you have zero idea what the **** you are talking about as usual

That's the version I was told. I did take a little while for that to happen.....reportedly.

Ikin was embarrassed more than pissed off
...don't be a dumb **** Benny...remember you're shit next time!!

TBH.......I'm questioning his ability to function as a high end executive, if you can't remember your fucken "gate key"
How spacey is he?

 

[Super Freak]

I do have to laugh at the reporter that asked Cobbo the stupidest question they could ask, "Do you feel for Sua'ali'i?"

"No not really".

WHY THE **** WOULD HE.

Yeah exactly... Cobbo would've been thinking... what the **** are you even asking nothing happened to him... but they got a sound bite out of him and that'll be used to create faux outrage...

 

[Mustafur]

He's not that great of a defender though. Missed 7 or 8 tackles iirc.

makes sense though given he was playing most of the game at centre, Liam martin is the only NSW player I have seen in the last few years that gets origin, his big hit on hopgood actually did something for them as a big hit usually does.

Love how Jurbo has to squat down to look him in the eye.
