State of Origin 2023 - Game I Discussion

I’ve only just watched the highlights now but moment of the match for me was seeing the boys get around Lindsay Collins after the last try. How fucking good!
Haha yeah, Munny was off on his own giving it to the crowd and must have turned around to be like "wait, what? Oh, yeah! F yeah, Lindsay!"
 
Addo-Carr swinging arm to a player on the ground. All good. Flegs makes a tackle....
Yup, as long as the player has a shit blue jersey, nothing to see. On the contrary, any attempt from the Maroons is subjected to rules that n & out of the book.
Lunatic morons running the shit.
 
Still can’t believe Frizell wasn’t sent for a HIA. So much for duty of care ha. Then when Cobbs scored his second, Luai was clearly in his knees holding his head and again HIA. This is two of a few examples where the ‘independent’ doctor clearly wasn’t doing his job.
 
Haas played low mins, surprisingly. Nicho was a waste of space on the bench.
Yes, good to go on Saturday night.
Will play a major role in getting our 2nd win in the gap of 3 days. Sweet!!!
 
Buzzed has written a bitch piece in the SMH about Smith being allowed to be on 9 and in the change room at half time coaching.
Fucking hypocrite overlooks Alexander's bias during every Panthers game and every Bronco game.

Also overlooks Johns directly telling Fittler to attack Cotter’s edge early in the game.
 
The difference in the confidence of Reece tonight under the high ball was a real testament to the extra work from Billy.
NSW didn't test him with a rolling ball , I couldn't belive they just stuck with bomb after bomb.
Fittler is hopelessly out of his league.
 
My only question is this.

How did Flegler get binned for a perfectly legal tackle, but Josh Addo-Carr doesnt get binned for coming in late with an elbow to a downed opponent on the back of an illegal mid-air tackle?

Another week, another game the officials are useless fuckwits.

On a positive note FUCKING GO QLD!

munster was off celebrating on his own lol
 
Ponga cannot defend in the centres.
Never seen him play there so we don't know. Different position, but he handled Origin coming on in the forwards. At the moment, until he gets a good run without any concussions I don't think we need to rush to get him back in despite him being a very, very good player in Origin.
 
Cleary’s vein celebration isn’t even original, the Bulldogs in the AFL did it first.

I can remember Hristo Stoickov doing it for Bulgaria in the world cup over 20 years ago.

Somebody front the QRL should be in the media calling that shit out.

On a side nite, where was Joey?
 
I am worried about Holmes defence against latrell in game 2 though...... holmes' contact on Crichton was shit sometimes and he got bumped off, Mitchell will turn them into linebreaks..
 
So if NSW lose this series, does Fittler face the sack?

That would be 3 of the past 4 series lost despite having the superior side on paper. Pretty much since QLD have got their shit together after those two bad years in '18/'19, QLD have been the more successful side of the two.

Should've been sacked after last year.

They had hammer marking Trell then swapped him to turbo once he was ruled out
 
A few things that I particularly enjoyed:

TPJs stupid AF offload in his own end that Cotter pounced on, stealing momentum for us.

Reece Walsh’s ball to Holmes for Selwyn’s first try.

Reece Walsh’s pass for Selwyn’s 2nd try

Selwyn sliding and keeping his feet from going into touch.

Pat being the only forward making meters in the back end of that first half.

Hammer vs Fox - Hammer left him for dead! (Lol Todd peyton)

Ben Hunt stripping Cleary

Collins out leaping Tedesco

Tedesco butchering an easy try to fox by being a ball hog.
