POST GAME Women's State of Origin - QLD v NSW

[Spoon]

How good is no 6 agains!

 

[mrslong]

Kelly has a crack and is actually dangerous when she gets the ball. Sergis didn’t do a thing tonight except for a few grubby cheap shots

she dropped a sitter that could have been the try of the season

What a game. A real display of how good no 6 again footy was, man I miss it.

The tbf Kelly was the blues best, gave me heart palps every time she had the ball.

Overrated

Robinson easily the best centre tonight.

The number 6 for Qld throws a good ball

 

[holdzy]

Feel bad for Kezie, such a great smile.

 

[Super Freak]

These girls go alright.

Who said women’s footy is boring?

 

[holdzy]

Get on it Ali, women's goat!

 

[Big Pete]

Sorry bp. That was caught on outside shoulder.

I'm not comparing the two directly, but it was a joke of a decision because they said it was a defensive decision by Croft.

There's been others where they've ruled no impact on the play.

Yeah, but Kelly was nsw’s best. Not saying she was close to our worst lol.

She was good. Still goes missing when it counts, like Sergis.

 

[holdzy]

That ref should be fired though, legit.

 

[Fozz]

It’s the fact that the decoy went way too early. No obstruction but she sucked a defender in...unfairly.

It was a good game. Nice tight scoreline for once. Nice to see what RL can be without Vlandys tentacles ruining it.

 

[pennywisealfie]

That was sick. Go QLD!

 

[Super Freak]

I don't really see the controversy regarding the penalty.

It was a clear leg pull by Hanisi as Lenarduzzi is trying to play the ball. She makes a clear second effort and pulls at the leg. It would have been penalized in the NRL. You just can't do that.

As for that obstruction call. Bullshit call because of a technicality. That never should have been an obstruction. It was clear they fell for the decoy.

**** yes girls. What a win, was on the edge of my seat that last 10 mins.

The bad:

Sergis, Cherrington, Wheeler all need a good punch in the face. Absolute grubs. Wish Mato got a hold of Cherrington after her carry on.

Sharpe was absolutely terrible (surprise), and not for the calls she made, but the ones she didn't. I know the penalty-thon it should've been would've been criticised for the pro-6 again idiots, but NSW got away with murder in the ruck up until the last 15 minutes when she decided to start calling a couple.

Fox with Voss and Gale + the NSW panel was ear-bleed inducing and they need to do better, although Stowers and Dibb did their best to be neutral so credit there. Bremner is terrible.

The good:

Destiny Brill - That's a debut and a half. There's a QLD hooker for the next decade.

Same for Rafstrand-Smith. Didn't look out of place, belted a few for good measure and ran some good lines.

Tazmin Gray was excellent again. Both her and Lenarduzzi came up with some crucial plays and strong runs. Clark had a good debut off the bench as well. Backs were mostly quiet due to the weather. Robbo was good, would've loved to see her smash Sergis a few times though. Would've liked to see Romy get a shot but I can understand the need for forwards in that weather.

For the Blues, Millie was great, and Kelly was ok. Studdon was wonderful for us

I could be picky about our team's shortcomings in that game but I'm just going to enjoy that win and the NSW tears.

I'm really glad the bunker made their presence known.

That was awful defence from the Maroons all told.

Catching the replay, just realised that penalty wasn't due to bunker intervention for a late hit by Tazmin Grey but just general play.

So the later salt was completely unnecessary.

I don't think it was the greatest performance by Sleeman but the return to the traditional system helped make for a more compelling game.

I don't really see the controversy regarding the penalty.

It was a clear leg pull by Hanisi as Lenarduzzi is trying to play the ball. She makes a clear second effort and pulls at the leg. It would have been penalized in the NRL. You just can't do that.

As for that obstruction call. Bullshit call because of a technicality. That never should have been an obstruction. It was clear they fell for the decoy.

I think it just annoyed fans because Sleeman let a lot go in the ruck only to decide the game on a penalty. However, it was 100% the right call and Hanisi gave her no other choice.
