PRE-GAME 2026 State of Origin

[MrTickyMcG]

I am now as excited for origin as ever. At least the team I follow in this competition still has a chance to win!

2015 decider was one of the greatest qld victories of all time….was it even a decider? Game 3 we thrashed the **** out of them iirc.

That's the best i've ever seen a team play.

To'o has only let in 1 try all series and that was the one where he got isolated on a 2 pass shift kick where he had to go in. Now you chuck in Bostock in who hasnt played wing all year with Best who is fine but a new combo. And Moses was a disaster defensively.

QLD just has a new combo to attack. To'o is massive for that team getting out of their own end. Makes little sense.

Yeah I can't understand that call at all. It is a massive over-reaction to him getting out-leapt by Jojo Fifita, one time.

I love this guy’s insights. Is one of his eyeballs higher up on the skull than the other?

"It's not about being tall", but then goes on to list reasons why it's an advantage to be tall.

I loved Laurie as a player, but I think he's ruining his status in the game by coaching.

He might as well just come out and said "It's not about being tall, it just about not being short".

Just a reminder to those looking to catch public transport to the game from Varsity Lakes - trains were supposed to be completely down for 3 weeks on Gold Coast line. I was at the train station this morning and was going to get the bus up here, but for whatever random reason, this morning there was a train there. So it really looks to be .. a try your luck on the day kinda thing. Probably best to call translink Wednesday morning for any updates.

Problem is he’d make an even worse commentator. Obviously wants to be part of the sport still though. Could be a good assistant for Ricky.
