State of Origin 2025

[happy_tiger]

I turned it off with 20 minutes to go. These are meant to be the best players around but was like watching a reserve grade match in attack anyway.

The fact Qld still picking cherry Evans and Lindsey Collins as well as Holmes on the wing. Need a cleanout. Better tactics too. Wasn't sure what the game plan was.

I thought Collins was one of the better Qlders .....especially after only playing 30 minutes in the last 6 weeks

Grant
Holmes
Munster
DCE

Are the problem areas

Qld didn't even come remotely close to competing in any areas of the game ....should of lost by closer to 30 pts

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Only support teams with Tigers players

Hope he's doing okay. We all suffer the same pain.

Munster tried hard but DCE and Grant were horrible. Grant can be given a pass as it was his first game starting. Dearden to start and need a hooker on the bench. Grant can't do 80. Or maybe start Cotter at 9

Yeo didn't play his typical role he ran the ball a lot more.

Qld have started with Grant 4 times ...lost all 4

 

[tiger_one]

If you're a Blue, the 1st half did enough.
Covered all their cracks in the 2nd 40.
If you're a Maroon, nothing can excuse such a disjointed 80 minutes.
All up, a fizzer of an Origin.

Yeah Collins gives it his all. Just feel when he hits the defence he gets pushed back. Just need a bit more variety to get through the gap.

Yeah Grant had a shocker. Over plays his hand too much. Needs to give quick clean ball wide instead.

I would put the hammer on the wing and drop Holmes. Need to find another centre though.

Nsw will be better for the run. Qld won't win in Perth.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Can't wait to talk about all again tomorrow morning and the next 2 weeks. Isn't life beautiful?

We need to do better than Harry.
Dozer has always performed better.
Unfortunately Mahoney or Billy Walters are the next in line. Maybe we give Reed a go and play a drinking game for every fight he starts?

By game 3 it will be ugly unfortunately

He was dangerous too.
147m with 68PCMs, 5 tackle breaks and 32 tackles @100%. All from 57 minutes. Great game.

 

[Tiger Woods]

Hopefully luai, api, may will go to another level after missing out

Harry would not be game to pull some of those dumb mistakes for Melbourne

Grants foot in the ruck for that penalty changed the momentum of the game to NSW ...we finally got ourselves at least equal with NSW in the grind

I thought with that 8 point lead for most of the 2nd half we had earned the right to play pretty conservative, we had no scoreboard pressure and seemed pretty much always in control

What level?

That was so stupid. Needed a talking to about that. Stop trying to take the way option. Work harder and stay in the grind.

 

[SeanT]

What level?

9th?

 

[Tucker]

9th?

I’ll take that to be honest.

 

[RydeTide]

Said the same thing to a mate M earlier this week . Although with a near record crowd in Brisbane it’s still got some legs.
Be interesting to see how games 2/3 evolve.

Game 3 last year was impressive. Qld need to improve if not nsw will win 3--0 with ease

 

[king_sirro]

He went to catch then tackled. Illegally. You can’t do that in a try scoring opportunity

He went to catch the ball, was in the air when Coates initiated contact forcing Too backwards in the air. Natural human instinct when knocked backwards is that the arms grab, even just at air. So due to this the sin binning was over the top. I said it was a penalty because the rule is stupid, but due to the circumstances it was not a sin bin. Not a call that had any bearing in the end, but it's poor
