    When you're playing against DCE and Munster you want centres who know how to defend.

    This. See ya mate.

    Whatever you think of James Maloney, he's the best NSW Origin half since Johns imo and i think NSW are sorely going to miss him in this series. In fact i think it will be the primary deciding factor along with no Klemmer.

    Man that’s an impressive put down.

    Wighton beaten by Gagai on the outside. Deja vu.

    4 penalties in 5 tackles from Qld...

    Grow a pair Sutton your hometown will forgive you.

    This series will be huge for Coates. He's clearly been overawed in first grade so far.
    Broncos Coates wouldn't have scored that try, probably would have ran over the sideline.

    So Munster gets tackled in the air, no penalty and we lose our key creator after 2 minutes. Yep awesome.

    Still too soft in his yardage carries. Loan him out to Cronulla for a season.

    My captain!!
     
  11. Magic AJ Parker

    Qld looking scared to take a carry. That Trbojevic hit was sickening.

    Cleary’s best Origin performance by miles.

    Still think we're missing a trick having gutherson at centre. Just has no sting with his carries

    NSW really need to sharpen up their attack. Some very poor defence on that Queensland left edge has lead to some very easy points but outside of that we have looked very basic in the questions we have thrown at Queensland.

    Daniel Tupou has been an absolute beast 12 carries for 158 metres in the first half.

    I do wonder if not having 2 genuine centres is hurting the shape we are playing with on the edges. The lines a centre runs on a backline movement can be so crucial to the effectiveness of pass selection from the half. Dont think I've seen one out ball from a NSW half to their centres in the 1 and a half games so far, Wighton and Gutherson seem to want to just run into their opposition to very little effect so far.

    Tries off mid-field scrums... gotta love em
     
  17. morgieb MC Burridge

    That is close to the worst set on six on the opposition’s goal line I’ve seen.
     
  18. Magic AJ Parker

    Giving Papalii the first and last 20 is a very odd move from Bennett..

    Gotta be playing more minutes than that surely.
     
  19. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    Blues killed us with the speed of their play the ball. Majority of the time they were getting off the ground before our defenders.

    Collins reminds me of a 15 year old playing under 18s. Has looked scared.
