Re: 2022 State of Origin III: Maroons V Blues
This was on Freddy’s selections more than anything else. Crighton over Wighton, Tupou over Addo-Carr, and leaving Jake Trb out of origin I. Bizarre decisions that had a huge influence on the series result.
A couple of other thoughts - not sure I’m buying that Billy Slater is suddenly a master coach. And good for Ben Hunt having that runaway try at the end - he’ll forever be known for gifting the 2015 GF to the Cowboys, so moments like tonight will ease that burden if only just slightly.
Finally, Valentine Holmes was my pick for player of the series.

That should be Freddys last game , he has lost 2 series that were his to win.
The game itself , bar the result was a cracker.
This is how rugby League should be played and controlled. Few 6 agains , few penalties other than the obvious ones , only if he NRL was controlled this way.

Re: 2022 State of Origin III: Maroons V Blues
Yeah Fittler should get the sack imo if he's allowing these Panthers players run the team. QLD would never omit their best player from game one after only missing game two due to the game's rules on covid.benda wrote: ↑July 13, 2022, 11:52 pmExactly what I was thinking. Slater clearly understands what he needs to connect emotionally and tactically. We can even see him nodding his head when CE was talking in the press conference.Hong Kong Raider wrote: ↑July 13, 2022, 11:40 pm Interesting press conference with Billy Slater, speaking about all players knowing their roles in the team, even with the disruptions with Munster and Murray Tuilagi pulling out, then two off in the first half.
Very much like the Melbourne Storm system - it's the system that works.
We need coaching like that.
Billy just sounds smarter than Fittler
Expectations were really clear. Qld on paper are nowhere close to NSW; Slater knowing how to handle end to end coaching was the difference.
Clearly Panthers Incorporated controls who plays for NSW and how. And Clearly will be a great but he isnt a coach just yet.
Excluding Wighton is an example

Would've loved to have seen Papa just lay him out. Quickest Papalii moved all night to get to him too. Absolute grub.

Re: 2022 State of Origin III: Maroons V Blues
The Tino hit is a sin bin in any other game bar SOO, and maybe a send off if the ref is in the right kind of mood
And when Gagai goes out of his way to hit a bloke off the ball and then start a fight by throwing punches, to me that’s a straight send off… Tino could have been sin binned again in that exchange for being the 3rd man in
But all in all I thought qld were the better team and deserved to win

You swap the coaches and there is no doubt in my mind the result is different. He’ll have the pick of the jobs coming open in the next few years. Which ever one he wants (if any), he’ll get

BTW, It’s not only Erin Molan who’s complained about Joey when he doesn’t get his way. You should hear from some of the crew members (note that’s second hand news given to me from a Camera man who regularly works for Nine, but he’s not the gossipy type).

Re: 2022 State of Origin III: Maroons V Blues
You are probably right that the Tino hit is a bin in a regular NRL game but to me the handling last night is how it should be. I don't believe it was deliberate, his palms were open (no clenched fist like most intentional swinging arms) and the bloke he hit was probably less than 1m off the ground. To me that is a penalty and on report and should be at all levels.Botman wrote: ↑July 14, 2022, 7:55 amThe Tino hit is a sin bin in any other game bar SOO, and maybe a send off if the ref is in the right kind of mood

Talakai over Jack was one of the all time poor selections. Dally M, Clive Churchill, best player in game 1 (took the toughest carries) in a losing side - left out for a journeyman who has had one month of good footy in a career.

Re: 2022 State of Origin III: Maroons V Blues
Yeah I didn’t think Burton was deliberately trying to run into Ponga. If he was, I have no idea why he’d do that - he’d be just as likely to hurt himself, which you can see in the way he stumbled and tripped after the collision. It was an overreaction from Gagai - he thought he saw something malicious that just wasn’t there.

I haven't read this whole thread, but I hope nobody's discounting the impact a Suncorp crowd ALWAYS has on a decider. You could see the difference it made in both the Queensland AND New South Wales players, particularly in the first ten minutes and the whole second half.
If that decider is in Sydney, I'm pretty sure we have a different winner.

I shouldn’t laugh, but this sentence on the state of origin Wikipedia page (under the popularity section) always cracks me up:
Internationally, the series is televised in 91 countries, and is a national obsession in Papua New Guinea, occasionally sparking riots, violence and deaths.

completely disagree with the Cleary take. Defensively he kept us in it. Two huge try savers among other great effort plays. He seems to get Origin but he can't do it on his own.
