SOO Game 1 2021 *Spoilers

The Maroons camp will need to come up with another tactic. They’ve effectively reinforced the underdog status to the point that it has effected their expectations. Get yer players out of the hospitals and get another story before game 2, otherwise you’ll get another 50 put on you!

Gus Gould of canned his pre talk could of done without that

Usual load of garbage, talking up players like they are soldiers going to war. Please.....

Yeah.... Let's just treat it like another game

No idea

He doesn't have to talk up so much rubbish before the game. It's rep footy, not war. You must sit there rubbing your belly button when he talks his trash by the sound of it.

Sad... Go watch neighbours then... Sounds more your go

Nice one Phil.
 
Watching the fox replay this morning.

What a improved experience even with their middle tier personnel.

Tom Turbo is the best player alive

Turbo was great, but helped by all the attention the defence put on Teddy. It must be a nightmare when you have LM, Turbo, and Teddy coming at you, one on one they will beat you 7 out of 10 .
 
Good to see the **Tigers Gavin Badger** in the box with Freddy.

Thw secret weapon.

I knew there was a reason NSW played extraordinarily well.

I thought they had some kind of gentlemen’s agreement so when did it turn back to all out war ?
 
Its great when the referee doesnt try and 'manage' the game as they have for years. Typical Queensland thuggery when they were starting to lose...after the first 15 minutes. Neck cranking, late shots etc etc.

Looks like Anastasia paid $8.5mil for a Townsville origin party and a game of football broke out.

So sweet living up here and watching the filth squirm.

Better side won

Only Qlder who deserves feeding was Fotuika ...the rest of the side barring maybe Arrow was pitiful

Green proved why he got sacked at the Cows ...2nd man ..2nd man plays are not going to stack up at this level

Refereeing in the 1st twenty was shocking ....the kick that you got a penalty from and took the 2 .....it was sitting out side my letterbox by the time JAC even crossed the try line

1st try was after a missed offside call ten metres from the NSW try line after we put that kick up and it was knocked on by NSW and then grabbed in a offside position by NSW

2nd try ...watch it again ...shocking obstruction / shepherd in the lead up play / break

Game was over at 14-0

Townsville is a poo place ...nothing good ever happens in Townsville

How was the third try.... and the 4th, 5th....6th 7th & 8th?

???

I guess the top comment covered that ...better side won

I looooved DCE's half game cliche' "It's all about momentum'..lololo

Then this mornin we just couldn't handle Tom Trbojevic... we just have to limit his time with the ball...OMG..ya think..

Stats said we had more sets ......sure didn't seem that way

From the 1st set NSW looked dangerous ...Suncorp will be a different story ......dewy track will bring NSW back to Qld , bring in Papa , Ponga

Biggest problem Qld have is Paul Green

Badge worked with the Blues throughout their week long camp.
Looked like Badge enjoyed the game more than Freddie.

It was dumb play by Feldt but a very ordinary decision to give a penalty.

It actually highlighted the inconsistency in the officiating. Later in the game Haas was inside 10 metres but deemed not to have been in a position to effect the play so a try was awarded.

If ever there was an example of a player not going to effect the play it was Feldt, but they award the penalty and (potentially) change the course of the game.

I genuinely didn't care who won, my interest in SOO has diminished to just another game of footy.
 
And Qld needs to find a centre quick as well ...no knocks on Capewell because he is a good back rower ...but he was always going to struggle with Turbo

No positives for Queensland from that game.
Not one single stand out.

Turbo was next level.

Brimson on the bench?
Not a good idea.

Bench could have been Lewis ,Lockyer ,Smith and Thurston wouldn't have helped

Stand out for me was easy ...Fotuiaka ..Grant and Arrow were OK

Green is the problem ...our tactics were shocking

Umm..Just 1 quick centre fast...? so what about the other side oh and the middle oh and the far edges..

Agree Capewell wasn't helping much when Trbojevic. was putting Mitchell over on the other side of the field destroying Gagai...

I don't get the Capewell hate, he was their only try scorer and missed a one on one tackle against Turbo, as does every player that has to try get him one on one.

Literally no one is gonna look good defending against Turbo. Did Gagai hold his own against Latrell? Not even close but no one is saying anything about him

This^

Why do Gagai and Coates get a free pass? They stopped nothing and offered nothing in attack either
 
Simms had a good game, which was a surprise. When I saw the teams on the field, I thought: finally, the one area that NSW have been dominant in (the 2nd row) is now their weakness), but he played out of his skin.

For a positive spin....NSW can't play any better than they did last night, whereas Qld have to have some improvement in them....surely...hopefully....please dear god...
