Origin 2023

I know you are upset, but cut out the sooking please.
It’s not very manly behaviour.

I go for tigers

Wowsers could be some suspensions out of that.

Nup - I bet Addo-Carr is the only one to cop a game!!

Try to prosecute a headbutt charge to headgear to the judiciary....

Lol I know, how can that be for real?
This sport is being overtaken by limp wristed softcocks at an administrative level.

A head butt is a head butt. The days of origin being a different standard for stuff like that is way past. If he played for us I’d be pretty annoyed.

Luai was wearing headgear.
Neither of them were headbutts.
They’ll both be fine.

Freddy put him as dummy half for 3 minutes.

WTF? Are you saying he played hooker for 3 mins???

 

[Buttface]

Played like a pussy unfortunately

You'd be unhappy winning lotto.

Keep those zingers coming

You keep saying that. We’ll see. Bottom line, you can’t headbutt another player. It doesn’t matter if the other guy has headgear or it’s a little one, the NRL won’t ignore it especially since they were sent off.

 

[Tucker]

Some of our players look like their done as origin players or just not up to it, but to be honest I've no idea who we pick to match QLD

Mate it was only two years ago your mob were flogging us. In Queensland too. These guys are mostly all still there.
NSW desperately missed Latrell. He has the arsehole in him you need for this level.

Lol keep those tears coming. They amuse me.

You’re saying you can freely headbutt anyone in headgear? Why stop there? I suppose you can tackle him high as well.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Glad I could lighten your day

Nice! Sounds like a better time than watching NSW, any day haha. He only got around 15 minutes of game time. Made no impact unfortunately. A handful of average runs that gained hardly any metres.

Freddy is a Hack of a coach.
Going to another 2x hatter tomorrow night in the hunter the place has a fancy desert call the coconut. This whole trip is about eating that coconut dessert. Hopefully performs at a level that is worthy of the hype, unlike SOO.
Tonight's restaurant was ok, had better.

On the scale of headbutts, they were 0.5/10. They were leans with slight contact at worst.
Both players come from top 2 teams, both players will be in SOO 3.
I’d be extremely disappointed if they were suspended for that.

Fittler was appointed into an era where there was enough talent in NSW to create a dynasty/culture and completely screwed it through poor selections and even worse game management. I'd argue this series is even worse than when Queensland dominated in the mid 2000's to mid 2010's because at least they had multiple generational talents coming through the ranks. NSW should have been in the middle of a dynasty but instead they're in shambles.

Fittler should have been sacked at half time for that coaching performance. That is without a doubt the worst coaching I have ever seen in a origin game.

Leaving Murray on the bench for 50 minutes while Cook at centre and just repeatedly gets targeted was baffling.

Cook was obviously their ‘secret weapon’ in attack which is why he started on the bench, and then the only touch he gets in the middle of the field he scores.

I hope people don’t take it out on Cook, he was abysmal but it’s not his fault he was playing at centre. Fittler should never coach another team again.

As a sidenote, imo probably Adam Reynolds would have absolutely cleaned up tonight. There were so many chances that went begging that he could have polished up and turned into points.

Agree they were light on but the NRL are big enough on optics. There’ll be a fine at least, possibly 1-2 weeks.

You sound like you are fat.
Protect your heart…

Haha, that's a crazy takeaway bro lmao

This is 100% correct. I remember saying in 2021 after game 2, QLD is in for a torrid few years as this Blues side is fairly young. This quickly changed after game 3 when it became apparent that the NSW depth and maybe also their hunger for victory wasn’t where it should be. QLD have an excellent ‘next man up’ mentality and they are absolutely ruthless when on top.
Since that game 2 flogging in 2021, instead of capitalising and beginning a dynasty, NSW have lost 5 from the next 6 games played.

Dare I say it, QLD look to be building our own dynasty with some excellent young talent playing superbly in 22 and 23. Remember we have left some very good players out of this squad this year and still won. NSW need to respond like we did in game 3 of 2021 or there could be trouble for them. There are no dead rubbers.
