If it’s not one Sharks player it’s the other.
You can pick which one was worse mate but they both stink.
And Gallen has been ripe for years.
There’s people in jail with less offensive rap sheets than this guy ffs.

Locky is still number 1 in my heart though…..

The aren’t going to drop Gallen. While he may be a drugged up blowhard he is also the epitome of NSW.
NSW lose these games off the field. Not on them. Why was Jack held back until QLD had already won.
At the end of the day though. QLD just has better players. Willing to do more to make sure they win. What was the comment I heard a million times. Whatever it takes.

Josh Reynolds starting at hooker is probably the worst idea I have ever heard.

I thought Jackson was close to the Blues best tonight.

Farrah is terrible. Notice how he is playing off the bench now that a coach who isn’t scared of him has the reins at the Tigers?

Wow. Some interesting points out of that one.
Firstly. The commentary team needs to go. Gus in particular rides NSW like the latest attraction at dreamworld. When that ball went dead the whole team dropped, which really ruins the whole game experience. The commentary on this game really diminished my enjoyment.
Thurston. He’s the best ever. Some of the things he does still blows my mind. that pass to Boyd was next level, but his general play is enough. It is rare that he is not the best on field, despite who they give the award to.
NSW. They were terrible. Honestly. that is the game you are bringing into a decider at Suncorp. Really? Kick for goals. I thought Klemmer was going to intimidate? Woods saved his Origin career with 1 run, then disappeared into the night.
QLD. They are just so good. I think it is important to remember that NSW won the series two years ago on the back of the worst game of football any of us have ever seen. If it wasn’t for that game they are 11 straight now. Just incredible.
Maloney. Tied with Jennings for QLD’s best. Really sad from the usually solid performer.
The future. NSW needs to get rid of Gallen, Farrah, Bird and anyone else tainted with ten years of series losses. It is time. They had some bright sparks. Frizell, Moylan, Bird. These guys are the future. Walker is not the answer to the age old question, “How do you contain Inglis”.

Milf was MOTM in last years GF no matter what they say. Morgan is good but honestly Milf is the future of QLD Origin. He has been the best player i the competition so far this year.
Dane earned his keep tonight I thought. not great, but he and Nate copped the most flak coming into tonight and I thought they both showed they belonged there. He should have scored that second try I thought, but you get that.
Klemmer is a pup. Howling at the moon. There’s no one to lead him is the problem. NSW just have losers in senior positions. Honestly clean the lot of them out. Coach and all. Start fresh. There is o other way.
Klemmer could come north, we could show him how to play. People mistake aggressive for good.
Look at Oates. Looks as docile as a fawn. But has quality written all over him. Gee whiz. I can’t wait til he is a lock. Going to be something special.
Sack Bozo, Daley, Gallen, Bird, Morris, Farrah, Tamou and Woods. They weren’t terrible but they can’t win.And Walker.That experiment failed. Bring in Bird, Carty, W Graham, Peats S Boyd. whoever.Just different. Who cares if they lose. I can’t believe NSW has stuck with the same terrible players for 10 years basically.

Gracias mate.
Hope you get over here one day. It has been amazing.
I started in Le Puy en Velay and am currently 49 days and 1100 kilometres in.
Not sure if I will get censored but I am blogging at my site 1planet2cross .dot. com
A rest day today to enjoy the beautiful game.
love your work.

I am mate. It’s been awesome so far.

See. Me. I’m a fan of that hard 8 metres off your tryline. When you’re bogged down. On the 3rd play.And half the team are still offside.That’s where men are made.

I have Bromwich in my fantasy team and he iscosting me big time.
AS I’m walking across France and Spain (1114Km so far) I don’t have time to watch every game sowill just assume SC tobeaccurate.

He was last year. I haven’t felt his form this year to be Origin worthy.
In years gone by he has been close to my favourite. But he seems to have softened up a bit this year.
As always QLD pick and stick because they have to. Cooper wouldn’t have let anyone down but wouldn’t really add anything either.
Mcguire is still learning. Hopefully he can step it up.

Did Bird play?
Must have missed the theatrics of a normal Bird performance.
Here’s a good indication of where Bird is at.
I like him. Enough said.

How dare you discredit the hard work and dedication of arm chair experts around the country.
We put in the hard yards all year and deserve more than this.

Keep it coming.
Would love to see Sammy get fired up for Brisbane.
State of Origin Game 1 full time: Queensland hold on to win
Yeah. I’m not sure what happened there.
Maybe there was an issue with the voting cards.
Boyd was the best player on the field tonight. By far.

Jackson.
I am glad to see you.
I was here the other day and there is some Ron Swanson character but he was speaking nonsense and I was afraid for what might have happened in my absence.
Should have been Boyd MOTM though. He was easily the best on field.

That should be front page of the courier tomorrow.

Daley also wanted to win the last two games but Daley ain’t got squat to show for it.
Kevin Walters was being diplomatic as any winning coach is.
It wasn’t a try to Josh. It was barely close. Pearce has been more intimate with canines than Morris was with the try line.

He gets fair left out in the deep end. What do you want from the guy. At least even the box up a bit.
