2024 State of Origin - Game III Discussion

[Mightybroncs2k17]

This game is absolutely setup up for Kayln Ponga to come on and give NSW hell.

Both teams fatigued after 60 mins the last thing you want is a sweep play with both Walsh and Ponga in it

Walsh playing with low confidence

hes been awful. looks a shadow of the player we know he can be.

 

[Wolfie]

Dearden and Carrigan easily our best right now.

Couldn't agree more. Get Walsh off and bring in Ponga for second half.

id honestly just put ponga at fullback and bench walsh. big call i know but i dont feel walsh is 100% looks a good couple yards off pace and is gettiing caught out of position in defense multiple times. pong to fulback would fix that

 

[BroncsFan]

100% coming from the bench should be expulsion from the game

I think that's what Cherry was saying to Klown

 

[Dash]

So murray left the bench and that’s a send off so does the ref have the authority to not actually send him like he did? Genuine question

Getting involved off the bench has always been an automatic send off. Don't know if that's specifically in the rules, but it's always been that way.

 

[Santa]

Tough first half. Hopefully we can keep it up. Hopefully possession and territory evens up and we get more opportunities. Need to put on some plays!

 

[Culhwch]

Totally forgot we had we Ponga on the bench.

Might get run over the top of before he can have an impact though. I can't see them holding all night.

Dearden easily my fav player in the game.
Competes on everything.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Walsh playing with low confidence

Yep. He’s just played basically no real football this year. Such a disrupted season and he’s obviously carrying a few knocks still.

 

[Wolfie]

I think that's what Cherry was saying to Klown

I think its a send off, but not sure.

 

[Mustafur]

Ponga on the bench is like having a Golden Mushroom on mario kart.

 

[JayPee]

Average play the ball speed

QLD 3.47 sec
NSW 4.03 sec

That is a huge margin. Klein is letting us get away with alot in the ruck. Matched the eye test too

 

[Galah]

If I was cherry I would be reminding the ref exactly how much he fucked up

 

[Nerd]

NSW lose the ball forward Luai attacks DCE without the ball but NSW penalty. Six again Klein is having his normal shit game. One penalty and 6 again we got was nothing except a square up. Surely we have a better ref than this flog.

 

[BroncsFan]

Poor Patty looked spent after 15mins... he's carrying the Qld forward pack at the moment

 

[GCBRONCO]

Yep. He’s just played basically no real football this year. Such a disrupted season and he’s obviously carrying a few knocks still.

I still think it was a mistake bringing him back for origin 2 after what happened in game 1
