SOO III 2020 *Spoilers

[happy_tiger]

Didn't mention it last night ...but Arrow has to spend some time on the sidelines ...this is why this stuff has to be eliminated from the game ...you just don't know if a bloke is seriously injured or not ..give him a shove yeah ok maybe ..forcibly drag him up ...nah

I fully agree but the more important question is why didn't the ref or the bunker ref take action against Arrow. The replays were shown multiple times while Tedesco was being treated and they had plenty of time to award a penalty to NSW and at least 10 in the bin for Arrow.

I was at work and didn't watch the 9 version ..on Fox they showed it once and then had to listen to Bwaiff's outrage .....

That is such rubbish about Arrow. There is no way he knew that Teddy is concussed. It happened literally within miliseconds. The moment he realised, he stayed there and called for help instead of running after the ball.

Some people want to create drama when there's none, including Freddy and Joey.

Play on, move on.

He shouldn't have done it and they should get it out of the game. It's a grub play and not required. The point is you don't know the state of the guy in the moment.

It happened to a player who I don't have any respect for but it was an average play.

Any other New South Welshmen secretly cheering for Maroons last night? WIth Fittler's comments, Cleary, Nathan Brown and Gutho in the team, and Harry G on the other team, I found myself cheering for QLD for the first time in my life!

Sorry but thats a cop out. He was looking straight at Tedesco lying on the ground when he grabbed him. Even if you accept he didn't know Teddy was concussed he could clearly see he didn't have the ball and there was no justification for what he did. An extreme grub act and we're lucky were not talking about Tedescos career being in jeopardy this morning.

I see your point ..but there is going to be a moment when a players spinal cord gets severed by something as stupid as that ....a tough bloke doesn't need to do that ...give him a mouthful ok if that is what floats your boat ...but that is not on ..and I'm a Jai Arrow fan

I agree - imagine the possible consequences if he'd had some sort of fragile spinal injury. Totally unnecessary and deserves some penalty - although I doubt it will be heard of again.

 

[happy_tiger]

Heck I think luai would of been a better option than walk3r

I'll give my opinion ..and I hate the Cleary's ...but it is unfair to stick a bloke out there that doesn't have one go to player from his own club playing his position

Give him a game next series with Crichton and see what happens ...thought Chin was pretty good the 1st 60 in a totally dominated side with no possession ...he made some bad calls in the last 20 granted though whne you finally got some ball ...but that can happen when you are chasing the game

This is the thing. I know 99% of the time nothing is going to happen and it's all good. You can't risk something like this though.

Even in UFC you can't touch them when they are KO'd hah!

Next season fit and well We need Wighton to play 5/8 big body marking Munster. Have centres of Tommy Turbo Latrell Mitchell or specialists. These are players that draw in 2 or 3 defenders leaving room out wide. Keary and Walker too small get hammered by big Qld forwards don’t take out players when going to the line. . We were made up of forwards from teams out of form not going well this season. Klemmer was missed as we played 4 locks last night ridiculous. Haas tackled well but made only 35m. With Grant playing now we need agile mobile forwards defending in middle of ruck like Cameron Murray and Wade Graham. These guys provide more in attack plus have the ability to even play in backline. Finally a game breaker like Papehuyzen should be on the bench to create opportunities big mistake by Freddy leaving him out.
We have a lot of thinking to do as this Qld team forward pack is awesome.

Oh please. Come. On,!
This is origin... He didn't know. He was concussed... Total overreacting

 

[innsaneink]

Too many blues fans blaming this player and that player... Yeah Fittler has some blood on his hands picking form over positions... But QLD defence, kicking game gave them field position and possession advantage for 75% of the game... They should won by more.
They shut Cleary down well... Line speed was awesome all night, just too good... I should took the $3 something whatever they were
And kudos happy... you're a better winner than loser 👍

Origin or not it was an extreme grub act. Even if we accept he didn't know the player was badly hurt (I don't) he could clearly see the ball had been lost so why drive a defenseless player without the ball head first into the ground. What exactly was he trying to do if not to inflict further injury.

 

[Hangonaminute]

I thought

Paulo
Gutho
Wighton
Hass
Walker

Had a poor series, and all bar Hass were poor selections

 

[GNR4LIFE]

King Gutho needs to give his crown to Munster. Absolute fraud of a player at Origin level.

That was the last game of footy for a good 4-5 months 😭 what am I supposed to do with myself now?

Find an EPL side or NFL side quick smart ...hopefully we stick it to the Indians in the cricket as well

I’ve got an EPL side luckily, could never get into American football. They make one tackle every 5 minutes and carry on like idiots every time they do ? still nothing compares to footy

 

[hobbo1]

You just probably got beaten by the worst 5 in SOO history for either side

And no one wants Corey Allan
Many think Gagai is hopeless

Questions need to be asked of Gagai. How he can play so well in Origin yet be so average for most of the season is just ridiculous. Why can’t he show that same enthusiasm and commitment for his club team each week? And don’t say it’s because he has elite players around him in the state team that make him play better because there are some darn good players in the Souths backline as well, he even has the same coach, but he just bludges there. I’d be spewing if I was Souths!
