I agree - surely Chambers is done and unlikely someone like Munster will be picked out of position. Jack is a big chance and deserves it!

Crighton - Would need some injuries to force his way back in. Only 23 so has time. Don't forget he play for Rooster so will always get attention.
Walker - As a starting half yes. May nab a bench utility role at best.
Morris - Yep, he's done.
Wallace - Should be finished but lack of depth for QLD might see him back.
Glasby - As above but he's ahead of Wallace.
Chambers - Only if they can find a replacement, which is the issue.
Mbye - Might be the end of him
I'll confidently add Daniel Saifiti to the list.

Re: 2019 State of Origin III: New South Wales V Queensland: Teams and Game Day
Yep Harrigan was the first of the game-managing refs, but as you alluded to, you didn’t really notice teams exploiting this until later. My theory is the Storm masterminded this better than anyone, particularly once the rugby league fraternity got sick of their wrestling BS. Cameron Smith, arguably the GOAT... and by a country mile, the smartest player of all timeSid wrote:could be wrong, it was a long time ago and I was young.. but from memory the first time in particular the whistle was put away in Origin was around bill harrigan days? Players wouldn't have been expecting it as much so it was probably a reasonably clean free flowing game and the referees were applauded. The more the whistle has been put away for origin and finals, the more players have expected it and teams have worked out how to exploit itthe bone wrote: ↑July 11, 2019, 8:33 amNothing changed from the players IMO, the refs put their whistles away. The first half refereeing seemed strangely tit-for-tat in terms of the penalties... my take was ol’ mate Gerard tried to stamp his authority with some really weak penalties early in the game.. he’d give the blues a cheap one, and then something similar to the maroons (or the maroons first then the blues). This, along with some penalties that were obvious/had no choice, added up and created a stop-start kind of game. Then as per most origins, the whistle went away.Northern Raider wrote:..or maybe both teams stopped pushing the limits.
It’s a hard one because in prior years the refs were far too lax... the line speed was outright Bull for a few series which led to some suffocating, grinding games. So I do support refs blowing the whistle, particularly for 10 metre infringements, but some of those penalties last night were especially weak, even by the standards of a regular NRL game.

Re: 2019 State of Origin III: New South Wales V Queensland: Teams and Game Day
watching the game, that lefthand side of Qld of Kaufusi, Norman, Mbye and Oates. would have to be one of the worst they have put on the field.
Re: 2019 State of Origin III: New South Wales V Queensland: Teams and Game Day
It was obviously a tactic of Queensland's to bomb to Ferguson to take him out of the second tackle hit up, but there were two or three occasions (Morgan, DCE, Norman) all kicked out on the full trying to kick it down the short side. That's just silly adherence to a game plan when it wasn't on. I might be bias, but Walters left Papalii off for far, far too long in that second half. He was the best forward on the park by some margin, and he can play decent minutes.
I thought Wighton did really well, he shut down a number of dangerous attacks with aggressive defence, and still made 100m+ which, as a centre, is really impressive. He will be picked most games now, you would think - if not as a centre, then as a bench utility. I still think with a year or two of experience in the halves (and hopefully a few finals matches), he can play there at this level.
Tedesco was just immense - he has dominated two series of Origin now. When he is on, he is virtually unplayable.

Re: 2019 State of Origin III: New South Wales V Queensland: Teams and Game Day
He's done that all series. He's been on the bench far too long while ploders like Wallace and Glasby take up space in the middle of the park. Paps is clearly their no1 prop and in the modern game you should be getting around 60min out of a player like that. Not the 40 odd he's been getting.TongueFTW wrote: ↑July 11, 2019, 10:25 am It was obviously a tactic of Queensland's to bomb to Ferguson to take him out of the second tackle hit up, but there were two or three occasions (Morgan, DCE, Norman) all kicked out on the full trying to kick it down the short side.

Yup, Queensland really lost their way when Paps was off the field, and that was the only period we didn't dominate in the forwards.
You take out of the game that period with Papalii off the field where Tedesco and Cook score and Queensland wins easily IMO.

Re: 2019 State of Origin III: New South Wales V Queensland: Teams and Game Day
Was at the game and was annoying to see NSW keep going to the right while wighton and abdo car was staring at open space in front of them on the left.
One odd thing I noticed (and I don't watch enough live games to know if it's a regular thing in most games), but in attack, especially coming out our end, Wighton and Abdo Car would swap with Wighton staying close to the sideline while Abdo Car lines up at centre.
Is that a usual tactic in games?

Re: 2019 State of Origin III: New South Wales V Queensland: Teams and Game Day
I've been critical of Mbye before but he has been pretty solid since moving into the centres at Tigers. He isn't a fullback. He doesn't have the turn of speed, or speed in general and he doesn't have the ball playing skills for fullback.

If Chambers knew how to **** pass the football Gagai was in space on numerous occasions in that game, similar to Game 1.
Queensland honestly could've been up by 20 points at halftime of Game 1 if Chambers knew how to pass and last night was a similar story.

He ran around Fifita at marker then stepped back inside on Papalii. Either way both had issues. Fifi with the grasping tackle and Papalii coming out too fast and leaving too large a gap.

This is the worst Christmas ever.
Re: 2019 State of Origin III: New South Wales V Queensland: Teams and Game Day
I made mention of the same thing in Game 2. It seemed to me that the tactic was one of pace/evasion over power for the NSW left/Qld right when the Blues were in possession in their own half. Maybe Addo Carr had some input on his Storm team mate Chambers. Also the large athlete Turbo Tom against the much smaller Mbye would seem a logical place to attack.Aero wrote: ↑July 11, 2019, 11:52 am Was at the game and was annoying to see NSW keep going to the right while wighton and abdo car was staring at open space in front of them on the left.

Re: 2019 State of Origin III: New South Wales V Queensland: Teams and Game Day
Very hard to write players off until they actually retire as it depends on the circumstances eg Morris was back due to injury after retiring from Rep footy. After 2017 it was not expected Pearce or Ferguson would be back, but there they were in the thick of setting up the match winning try in 2019.
There is talk of Maloney going to England next year but I remember Qld bringing Langer out of cold storage once and icing a game/series for the Maroons. Can never pick the 2020 side in 2019 but if injury had not have intervened then Keary would have been in the NSW halves. Same could be said of injury stopping further selection of Nic Cotric and Haas. Mitchell lost focus but who's to say he won't get it back next year.
