Origin 2023

What a load of shit.
Have to agree with Tim Sheens on this. The Voice has no veto power and can only offer advice. That's the detail you are looking for. It has no veto. Having worked in Indigenous communities a lot, the best programmes came out of asking a community for input. That, in essence, is what the Voice will grant - input into decision making. Not veto.

Also, legally native title as ruled by our High Court is the weakest form of rights to land ownership. It is far weaker than the rights to land you have when you privately purchase land. How weak? Did you know that native title does not allow you to say 'no' to mining on 'your land'. You have no legal right to object. Your only right is to negotiate on any price you might get paid. Negotiate against multinational corporations who employ teams of lawyers.
 
I think game 3 will be an experimental NSW team, no Teddy, Fox, Paulo, Chrichton, Young and Luai for a start.
Mitchell won’t want to play as it’s a dead rubber and Turbo won’t be able to. Not sure Cleary will
want to play either.
Freddy’s tenure finished tonight but assume he will see out the series . Next coach - who knows.

Freddy lost it 2 years ago and Slater makes a great coach. I’d have him as coach any day.
Unfortunately Cook was just way out of his comfort zone at centre - Cameron Murray should have played centre if they had nobody else. I wouldn’t have had Tom in the side in the first place - he just hasn’t been in any real form this season. Fittler’s selections have been off for years.

Cook was put in a very difficult situation through injury , poor bench and coaches use of same.
 
What a quinella. Fittler just can't coach and cannot stand that bumbler Klein . Gave up watching this junk before halftime. Did big Stef get on?

Agree but pretty surprised he got the mom honours.
He was everywhere, and came up with some big plays diving on spilt balls, trapping that grubber from Moses, he belted someone and they lost the ball as well…also ran 135m and made 30 tackles in just 42 minutes.
He was a bigger version of Rueben Cotter who was also excellent again.

Yep he screwed things up having ever selected Turbo this year. Out of form and has looked very unfit all season.
 
Keeping Cook at centre after HT when it was patently a failure just ended the Fittler/Alexander/Johns NSW Origin coaching clusterphuk!!

Seriously this brains trust triumvirate are dumber than Laurie Daley!!

Their bench management has been non-extistent!!

Congratulations to a far superior QLD team - and Billy Slater who has been extremely impressive in all his media duties!

Check my posts and I did state in no uncertain terms that if the great pretender Tedesco was retained at fullback/captain - NSW would lose 3-0!

Teddy is living DOWN to my expectations!!
 
QLD just want it more, and it all starts with the allocation of matches, for which no more giving up one of the NSW home ground match advantage every second year would be a good start.
