    Murray has always had such an unorthodox catching style.

    Almost reminds me of under 8s cricket when everyone just used to crocodile snap at the ball. Such a bombed try and don't feel comfortable with just 12pts.
     
  2. AVA T Delonge

    Legit thought he had just bombed the next try with his dummy as well.

    Looks like Felise Kafusi lost those receipts.

    I don't mind playing 2 locks and 1 prop given the work NSW are getting out of their outside backs in yardage on early plays but surely you play Yeo and Murray if you're going to go that way and shift Crichton onto an edge. Not play Crichton and Yeo and leave Murray on the edge.

    76-6 SOO Winners all on Queensland soil.

    Doesn't get much sweeter than that.

    Geez, we will need a clean slate injury/suspension wise to have a chance against this Blues side.

    Flogging in the end, but that's a different game with Ponga at the back and Grant in 9. Even without them it was NSW's scramble that was the difference.


    Still though, eat it Queensland, loved Luais finger wagging at Feldt.

    That’s some sort of reaming over two games. 76-6 scoreline and 17 linebreaks to 2. Queensland have a 6-4 and 10-5 advantage in six against and penalties also.

    QLD really out to prove that the 2020 team wasn't the worst QLD team of all time

    Cameron Munster on report for dropping his knees into James Tedesco :lol:

    This is after back to back weeks of being charged for kicking.

    I saw it coming from a mile away live too, he’s such a bad loser.

    Dunno what feels worse, conceding 50 in Townsville or kept to 0 in Brisbane.

    Props to NSW though they dominated us right through.

    It's got an 03 feel to it. Not only do we need to prevent a whitewash, some decisions need to be made on some personnel.

    For starters, our centres have been really poor defensively. Capewell has really been found out in the centres this series. We need a specialist centre out there. Chambers, Opacic, anyone really... And Gagai should go back to his club position on the left.

    Back in 03 we made the call to bring Smith in and DCE has never brought his club ability to Origin. Magic will cry, but reckon we should roll the dice on Walker?

    I think you cop it TBH. It's in Sydney the team sucks and nothing Sam Walker does stops that from being true. We just don't have any real threat from the back or outside backs. Ponga and Grant back in the side makes a difference and in turn improves our wingers. We just really need some functional centres.

    Paul Green and DCE's presser was so bizarre as to the things they thought went wrong like missed opportunities. There was a lot more wrong with QLD this series than just missed chances (that there were very few of last night).
    Green's approach to this not applying much accountability is the same problem I had with him at the Cowboys the previous 2-3 years.

    Well if there's one advantage it's that the next game probably won't be in Sydney.

    I'm dropping Fifita and Tino to make a statement, they have been absolute cats for their talent levels. They can do a Latrell and work their way back into the side, they haven't cemented an origin spot yet.
     
  18. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    I just do not get the hype with Tino. I assume it's mostly cos he threw a punch last year?
     
  19. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    Best back rower playing centre, best winger playing fullback, best hooker and fullback (by some distance) out. Queensland were so close to getting 3 tries. You get Grant, Ponga and Kurt Mann at centre and it could've been anything.
     
  20. Cribbage RG Cribb

    It's a bit different when the incumbent is Crocker though; the bloke wasn't even really a hooker.
