2024 State of Origin - Game II Discussion

[Organix]

Dismal, this brings me back to 2000

takes me back to Broncos season 2020

 

[Broncos Maestro]

For anyone really believing that QLD are woeful, I love that your mindset is still so innocent. Since the 2000s tell me how many whitewashes have happened?
Best way to get bums on seats-manufacturer drama and angst and have deciders to maximise that sweet corporate profit.

Well at least our boys might have a higher chance of backing up after a flogging. Less time with the ball in play = less work they have to get through

2006 Game 3, although it was the Telstra Dome

Yeah I'm referring to MCG specifically, 1 in 6 which isn't a good record.

 

[Wolfie]

Even when they went down to 12 men there was a long period where they were the dominant side.

The losses we've suffered this year are too big.

Tino, Gilbert and Flegler have been huge losses. They all give it to the opposition.

I've said it a lot about Reece, he's excellent in attack, but he doesnt do the basic fullback job well at all. He's not as good as people think he is. They just get blinded by the spectacular side of his game.

Yep. He hasn’t earned anything yet or proved himself to be elite. Choked in the grand final, choking in origin and barely dominates at club. The kid is not ready.

They just get blinded by the spectacular side of his game.

And those dreamy eyes.

 

[Broncos Maestro]

I know my statements are bordering on “conspiracy theory” but can anyone really prove otherwise??

The NRL is now ‘Sports Entertainment’

The Blues are playing well but it looks like Klein thinks he's reffing one of our games. In fact what's Qld's chances of getting a late tackle count penalty followed by multiple 6 agains. Yep zero.

Watch the whistle go back in the pocket after half time and QLD get a few first tackle 6 agains just as we get over the 70 minute mark with the result beyond doubt.

 

[Super Freak]

Tino, Gilbert and Flegler have been huge losses. They all give it to the opposition.

Even Munster is a big loss.

He does a lot off the ball to give the side a lift.

 

[Old Mate]

Reffing is shithouse but so are we. Where’s Walsh for any of these tries?

But **** me the reffing is bad

 

[Foordy]

Greatest half of origin football ever... Klown might be in for a bit of an ear bashing because he might've gone a bit too hard in the first 10mins.

He'll be fine ... He can use the just following orders defence

And how the **** are Fox League going to have anything to ramble on about in the leadup if it's a dead rubber? Can't have that, no sir Mr. Murdoch sir.

That first 15 minutes was just so..... cringe and humiliating for the credibility of the sport. By the 3rd-4th set restart in a row the game was over.

 

[Broncosgirl]

Once they scored their 3rd try it was all over.

Not even the QLD side that dominated for that long period could come back from a deficit bigger than 12.

I've never had any trouble streaming any show before, and don't normally watch nine .. but I keep losing the stream dead and I have to go back and restart

I'm about 15 minutes behind the rest of you

 

[GCBRONCO]

I will say this has to be Payne's best game at this level so far, hasn't really previously made an impact but his been strong tonight.

 

[Wolfie]

At this level, its hard to turn the tide once you get put on the back foot for the first 10 mins. Its bad enough at club level, in Origin its enough to guarantee one side gets a massive, massive advantage.

 

[Battler]

Reece's positioning has been shit all night.

Not much he can do tho when nsw are running through turnstiles in the front line, namely sua and Val with a bit of help from Dearden and Tualagi
