2024 State of Origin - Game II Discussion

[Bucking Beads]

We’ve been so bad though. It’s like we’re half asleep

 

[BroncsFan]

Luai's was forward as well lol

 

[Galah]

8-0 count in penalty’s

 

[Dash]

That was forward from Crichton

The one to Crichton was even further forward

 

[Bronx48]

So forward passes are good now as long as you have the Blues jersey on.

 

[winslow_wong]

It wouldn’t even be fair if Nathan Cleary was playing.

 

[Strop]

Commentary team can’t see forward passes either?

 

[BroncsFan]

We’ve been so bad though. It’s like we’re half asleep

Hmmm wonder why they might look tired

 

[Loch Ness Monster]

Don’t worry guys, apparently Luai fades back off his passes so they only look forward, according to Joey.
Lmao

 

[BroncsFan]

Joey: "Goes backwards... which makes the ball look forward"

Nah the ball going forward is what makes it look like it goes forward

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Hmmm wonder why they might look tired

Exactly. People really don't fully understand how catastrophic a run of six agains can be on a team physically and mentally. That's why it is such a terrible rule.

Business first and foremost and making money is the single priority.

This is exactly what to expect when a gambling tycoon takes over any business.

**** the product, just maximise profit at all costs.

I have never actively hated the nrl, but tonight I do, and it may not be something I can come back from.

I grew up loving this game and the past few seasons have destroyed my live of this game.

Even the wooden spoon didn't make me hate the game, but this shit has all but done me in on the nrl.

 

[BroncsFan]

Sigh... NSW have a big lead... they'll probably go Walsh head hunting in the second half to try and take him out of Game 3... won't matter if they get binned this game

 

[Scorchie]

The most insipid Qld performance I’ve seen in decades

 

[Wolfie]

We are lulling them into a false sense of security and we will hammer them in Queensland. I've got faith.

 

[Organix]

I find it hard to even be mad about it because it was inevitable the game was going to be managed this way. Sounds like we arent exactly helping ourselves though.

The tone was set early. NSW given such fast ruck speed, but were allowed to use us to take naps. Early penalties, 6-agains. This is why Klown gets chosen so often, he is good at this kind of management and manipulation. QLD started the game running uphill, now they are tired.

 

[Aldo]

Like watching men vs boys

 

[Foordy]

This might be the first time I turn off an Origin match.

As bad as QLD have been, the fix has been in from the start.

If I wanted to watch a scripted event tonight, I'd turn on the WWE
