State of Origin Game III - NSW vs QLD

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

It does shit me how both his club side and his QLD side still don't know how to get the best out of Fifita......he is a game changer from the bench.....get him out there...

He's played 25 nrl games, 2 origins and he's 19 years old... No one knows how to get the best out of him yet

Norman looks right at home in this arena.

Refs are setting it up for a NSW square up in the second half.

I always hate getting all the penalties early.

Penalties are like 6 all

 

[BroncosAlways]

Oates looks strangely slow tonight, literally lumbering down the field.
Hope there's no injury concern but I also hope that isn't him in full flight these days..

7 - 5 to NSW. Hopefully an even up does happen, cause it'll be in our favour.

Ponga is immensely talented, they just over hype him.

Totally aree. But I do get the feeling he (and definitely his dad) believes it too.. There's have been 100's of more talented players than most of the immortals, but they got their by GROWING as players...

Moose is a proper lunatic

Seibold might be in the process of bulking him up for the 2nd row. With the wingers we have coming through....

Fifita Papa and Ofa early in the second, reassert their dominance.

Does look a bit slower than normal by I think he's been good so far. Safe as and has done good hit ups out of our 20 zone.

He has silky skills that’s for sure

Put absolutely everything into tackling Vaughn and it couldn’t stop him

Definitely. Here's hoping IBM is correct, but then again what with the current crop of backrow options we've already got..

Fattening him up for Souths? Just kidding.

Yeah, some of his runs helped get our sets started off well.

Quality half of football, Queensland have turned up and are playing to their ability and NSW are struggling to find any rhythm. The few times they've looked likely, their feet has gone out from underneath them due to to greasy conditions.

The Maroons have looked dangerous whenever they've turned the ball back in. I think that needs to be the go and off quick play the balls, target Pearce and Maloney.

Meanwhile the Blues have looked strong when they've kept it simple. They're playing expansive football and it's just allowing the Maroons defence to slide. I think they need to target that middle third and have backs pushing up through the middle running off of Cook.

The refereeing has been very pedantic, but at least it's been consistent. I would like to see that challenge on Morgan again, but otherwise they've kept both teams pretty honest and they're not letting either get carried away in defence.

Feel like he needs to take on the line more often with Munster or Morgan running off his hip. Look to either slice through or get an offload away.

Always going to be difficult to stop any forward with momentum coming at you

...reckon Moose is giving Pearce helpful little reminders of past Origin performances too...bless him...

He has a heart of gold that guy
