Thx fk it’s over, let’s get back to season proper…
P.s- surely 5 or 6 players have jumped Moses in the pecking order if ever needed as a fill in 7.

Should of been Walker and Reynolds to take advantage of the combos with Cook, Mitchell and Murray.

Sutton is having an absolute shocker tonight. Clearly been given instructions from the NRL to lean towards QLD to try to make it competitive. A lot of home town decisions.

Also NSW have had a lot of brain dead moments. Just dumb footy. Wighton/Moses has been a shambles. Walker/Reynolds should of been picked to take advantage of the club combo with Mitchell, Cook and Murray.

NSW still might rally and win this game but they’re going to have to do it in spite of the clear bias tonight.


Pretty much what I was going to write CM. I knew after about 20 minutes that the ref was going to be all over NSW, very biased refereeing.

I get it that they won this game, but seriously one of the worst Origin performances from QLD this year, and they pretty much had three home games. I would be still pretty salty as a Maroon when I see the Blues lift that trophy.

:good:
That was my thought also when they were first named.
Strange decision to go with those 2.
Wighton did sweet FA so far in the series and not much more tonight.

Both blues halves are ball runners, I know Wighton scored taking the line on but he bombed a few by not giving clean early ball.

Mate even they second half was different to the first half. 15 odd penalties / 6 agains in first half.

We had the ball for a lot of the first 12 mins in second half and nothing. Qld get the ball then bang 3 in a row.

And then running the ball with 10 seconds to go instead of the old lottery up 'n'under
Especially with JAC chase, they just played dumb when they needed to be better. Tommy throws that pass that Ponga hits down, if he dummies his in. But oh well series won. Qld booed their side before kick off now celebrating like the won the shield.

Freddy’s a tactical genius. Let QLD win game three so they don’t sack Green or DCE. We’re living in a time of pure tactical greatness people.

All Wighton needed to do was at times catch and pass and give Mitchel and To'o some early ball, but no he is too retarded and ran the ball every time. Attack was so disorganised this game should have always bent with Reynolds and Walker.

He bombed a couple of try’s tonight.
Not origin standard

When there are no Sharks involved the game has less interest for me. But at least tonight was a contest.

Whole tone of this game was QLD. They were gifted the win.

Mate, I must admit I was going to post something smartalecky like, "if you think it's rigged, then don't watch it!" :)

But after watching the second half, I have to agree with you - Queensland were definitely being refereed differently to us.

I can't understand why the NRL or the refs think we won't see that, sometimes they treat the public as if we were dummies.

Apologies to you for some of my comments, I still don't think the refs do it all the time but they'd be hard press to prove it in this game.

Disappointing if that is what's definitely been relayed to the referees.
