Wonder if Pearce goes missing again in game 3

Hook Hayne, he is no team player, all about himself.

He's just constantly looking to see how he can make it about himself. From the try he bombed, to the way he celebrates. I got laughed at 3 years ago when on fulltime he ran 50m to the fence and stood with his arms out like the glory hound he is as the supporters flocked to him. It took him going to the US and bringing the American showmanship crap back with him for others to finally wake up to him. People hate Mundine because of his ego. This guy isn't any more humble.

See it's not Wueensland ..it's the smug supporters…

Queensland deserved the win but NSW lost that game...

The smugness comes from continual surprise at your arrogance. You have no right to be so arrogant Geo but year after year you suit up. Its hillarious.

You were not so arrogant and ready to put the boot in after the first game.

What are you going to do when Thurston and Crock retire after the next game?

You'll be sooking for years to come!

Laugh it up the end is nigh!!!!!

 

[Russell]

Cackle all you like … only a clown would think they deserved that win.

Won the second half 12 blot against a team that was all over them. How is that undeserving?

Watch the replay and ask the ref.

LOL you are embarrassing yourself mate. Better side won.

You won by a goal kick - get serious, you'd think you have put a half a dozen tries on us.

Queensland arrogance has no bounds.

Lol russ dry those eyes. Still have a chance in three weeks. Pick yourself up and act like a man.

I have not followed the debate due to being down club but what stuck out for me was Peats not chasing a guy towards the end of the game, he did a Woodsy and just let him run around him when about 20 metres out from the line. Maybe Peats can't handle 80 minutes. Woods was mainly ineffective, so predictable.

I get that your still upset your mate got dropped for Peats.

Having yourself on if you a berating a guy who played 76 minutes in the middle and then not chasing / or being quick enough in the last 4 minutes. He has been outstanding in both the games this year.

OK I've calmed down at ad now but that was just dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb!!!!
Think its enough being a tigers supporter week in week out…but to add 2-3 games of origin per year is dumb dumb dumb dumber!!!!!!

They have NO chance whatsoever in game 3…..Don't care what anyone says!!//////
Series was on the line and they weren't good enough leading by 10 in front of a home crowd. Yes qld played well but for the life of me why can't our halves CLOSE out a game.
Would love to see P Sterling get the coaching gig off the useless L Daley.

You might want to pass that on to Princess Slater who had a little cry after the game.

I have no tears - just looking forward to years of winning once a spine that comes along once in a hundred years is gone.

Boyd, Hunt?, Milford, McCormack… doesn't quite have the same amount of talent methinks.

I'll send you a dozen hankies once the new spine is in place. Lol

 

[Geo]

Still banging on the smugness I see …calling people sooks ..very funny..

I'm still laughing at spine's don't win Origin's game 1 yet Game 2 it comes down to the spine almost all of the time..lolololo

All 3 of those are better options than Pearce.

I think Robbie is a better player than Peats and it isn't close. I don't think he has been outstanding either. I think Peats is okay but all he does is catch and pass. Robbie has a complete game - sets up tries and a quality short and long kicking game.

Robbie's fault though is that he is a hog and comes up with dud plays at times. Hayne did that for us last night and it loses games.

Still I would have picked Robbie.

Exactly. Everyone is thinking that Qld are going to be hopeless next year when Thurston and Cronk are out. Milford is a gun and looked like a quality SOO player. Boyd is a great player. Pearce is one of the worst origin level players I've ever seen.

Qld will come back to the field when these guys retire, no doubt about that. But there's nothing to suggest that NSW will automatically begin their own doninent era when they do. Qld blooded Milford in game 1, and he was arguably their best player. Napa has looked good too and Hess will benefit from the experience too. To say NSW will have years of winning sounds more like wishful thinking rather than expectation. Years of winning comes through once in a life time players, like the ones Qld have had. There are no once in a life time players in the NSW side, nor are there any waiting in the wings. It will be an even contest fron next year.

The Qld team also played for 80 mins did you see any of them let an attacking player just run by them without attempting to impede, you check a video out if you can find. I am not the poster here who commented on Peats lack of star status. Peats is the same as Damien Cook a one trick pony.

Surely they have been watching the old master dummy halves run around the paddock for years they should be trying to learn all the tricks. Yes there were other players last night who could do good short and long kicks but coming from DH it gives the less opposition less time and chance to prepare. It is another contingency that the opposition have to contend with, to have a player run at the DH rather than stay back that they can do if they know the DH can't perform such tricks. It depends on how serious we are to win the most coveted prize in the calendar.

I predicted we'd lose game 1 as we didnt have the forwards and it was the weakest side chosen in a dozen years. I predicted we'd win game 2 after the new forwards would hold the blues pack allowing the spine to win the game. Do you want to know whats going to happen game 3? Lol….
Once again you display your ignorance of this level of football. Just stick to the tigers where you are right occasionally.

i think brodie croft will come in, in a few years

Styker - I'll say one thing. You can dish it out.

Fox Sports have a good analysis of the Holmes try
http://www.foxsports.com.au/video/league/state-of-origin/hayne-vs-holmes-side-by-side!629858

all that showed was a severe lack of cameras

anyway it's done, just hope there's not the same in game 3

QLD deserved the win. NSW only did everything right for 40 minutes. They shut up shop in the second half and Andrew Johns is right to have a go at them. They played dumb. JT was struggling defensively and the Blues went away from attacking QLD right edge, and they also stopped using the inside ball for Tedesco. The only change I'd consider making for NSW is getting Dugan out of the centres for someone like James Roberts, who has real speed and footwork. Can't see QLD making any changes unless Thurston is broken but I suspect he'll play.

Close,but there is no way you can drop Dugan.To my surprise (He normal only plays well at fullback),he was one of NSW best players last night.Good runs,and multiple try saving tackles.

Instead drop Hayne the "me me" Plane - The most selfish player on the field.Bombed a certain try,but not passing to an open Morris.Missed tackles that led to tries,bad passes,and drop balls.All because Hayne is ONLY about Hayne.Replace Hayne with James Roberts instead.

Also,Wade Graham had a shocker,but that happens.Unlike Hayne,his weren't cause it's NOT all about him.Hayne's attitude is the problem,and I can't see that changing.

Daley is a dud coach,and won't drop anyone.NSW in the 2nd half were crap.In the first half NSW dominated,and really blew the game then because they should have led by alot more than 10 points at half time.Should have been up by at least 16.Second half NSW went into their shell,and instead of attacking for more points.They tried to defend a lead,that was never big enough.Pearce,Maloney,Peates,Fifita,etc,etc….. went into a coma.Pearce set to continue his record of zero Origin series wins.The problem with Pearce's Origin career; He will NEVER and has NEVER lost NSW a game/series,but more importantly he can't and will NEVER win NSW a series.He's just NOT up to it.The 2nd half showed that.

An underrated turning point against NSW,was Tyson Frizell going off injured,with replacement NOT covering well at all - Wade "I had a shocker" Graham I think,was the replacement.

Finally,Queensland deserved the win.NSW went to a conservative sleep in 2nd half.But,in saying that,the refs were shocking,lucky for the refs they didn't ultimately decide the result.But,that's luck and not good management by the terrible refs.NSW players being taken out on kicks was a blight on the game,sadly NSW will have to do the same to Queensland in game 3,cause the gutless hopeless refs will most likely ignore it again.If the refs suddenly care,then the refs are hypocrites,and NSW should do it more anyone.Even to prove/make a point and to piss off Queensland.
