State of Origin 2026

[Tucker]

I’m glad Walsh wasn’t picked.
His game just doesn’t suit this arena.
NSW have the stronger side on paper….lets see if they play to their potential. I’d feel a lot more confident if Deaden was there.

You going for the cane toads Tuck.

 

[Garrry]

If nsw lose the 1st game Daley should be sacked straight after the game, so many chances as coach

Only because they are under dogs every year

[happy_tiger]

Don’t think so, only came to QLD from NZ at age 14. But then again, it is QLD eligibility you are talking about

I'm going off the fact he was getting picked by certain commentators up here
And it wasn't corrected, by anyone

Dearden is a massive loss .....Walker will get targeted defensively

 

[GNR4LIFE]

No Tigers players? Haha of course

Who was gonna get picked? Please don’t say May. It’s obvious Daley doesn’t like him. Who else? Twal has been great, but he was a long way down the pecking order in terms of middles. Doueihi is injured. Who else? The only player who was truly rorted was Jackson Ford. “Never played on an edge” 😅

You haven’t picked up on his qld (er) bias yet Steveo?
If not, you will now…

I don’t think so
(although that’s how you qlders will sell it)
- I think the bench is undersized, and we have 2 centres playing wing.
Fonua Blake has barely bruised a grape for 18 months.

Daley is just doing what Daley does - being a nice guy because he can’t coach for shit.

Madge would have picked Ford

Typical QLDers trying to claim whatever they can...

Jason Taumalolo's State of Origin status confirmed after eligibility changes

It was unclear if he would be available to play for Queensland or not.

[Flippedy]

he would never do it but benjis coaching style would bd perfect for origin

Hmmm… I don’t know about that.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Hmmm… I don’t know about that.

I’m sure it wouldn’t !

Yeah, I know who he goes for mate, was just giving the cage a bit of a rattle, the trouble is in a lot of series cane toadies are good enough to eat cockroaches lol.

A very strong Blues squad, well thought out by coach Daley. I like the inclusion of Olakau'atu, Radley and AFB. The inclusion of Moses at the expense of Luai also strengthens the squad.
Looking forward to this game.

Rugby League commentators and facts don’t always mix well

 

[Siberian Kitten]

Luai was always going to miss out. I still remember how NSW were winning the battle at the start of Game 1 last year and Luai drops a crap kick into the in-goal for a 7 tackle set. NSW lost momentum and never got it back.

It's super important early on to be solid and a threat to get into the minds of the opposition. A weak screw up early non tells the opposition that the other team isn't dialled in.

It will be interesting to see if Critta can lift or if he'll be ordinary like he's been for the Dogs recently.

For our sake lets hope origin does not play him into form.

 

[batboy]

I think you will see Murray come arond 20 minute mark and Yeo to prop.

I don't mind saving Murray from the initial 20 minutes of contact.

About the only was to save him from concussion. Has a habit of wiping out early

 

[tig_prmz]

Ashley Klein announced as ref... Screw this.

Put money on the game being close, he will manipulate it to make sure it's not a blow out.

Honestly the most bias ref I've seen
