State of Origin 2025

[Snidest 0]

Capewell used Cleary as his spot-player in defence all of the first half - while both Yeo and Martin subsidised his shit defence.

That is what exposed the right side when Qld grew momentum - with the lock & captain parked on the left...

Klein is a mutt - but the better peforming team won on the night!

Billy should piss off back to pontificating at Channel 9 at the conclusion of the series regardless of the end result - he lacks the class - integrity and thick skin to continue in any coaching capacity.

Is Cleary overrated?... he imo has yet to really own a SOO game

The Blues had no chance to get into the game in the first half - no one played well.
All they needed was an even share of the ball..

It’s poor coach vs poor coach. Close to two of the all time bad origin coaches.

Poor
Marker D by Stephanie

He’s not an origin player - not ever…
Half a step behind and blown form the moment he went out

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

I thought Bellamy said big Steff was ready.

He was, played his usual crap game

No halfback who wins 4 comps is overrated. He’s just either out of form, or lost the hunger. He’s not himself this year.

 

[Lestronge]

King? How about Stef? Wasn’t there talk about how he was gonna come in and stand up to their pack, take the first hit up yada yada yada. What a loser.

He got smashed , and was responsible for at least / of thier tries with lazy middle defence . No coincidence that when he goes off the middle shores up .
How he got picked ahead of Kolomatagi , Lyndsey Smith … and of course May is bullshit . The talk will be how well he played because he sent Deardon flying once and dropped on the spot the moment he did . “Oh WOWWW! 6 second play the ball , and the next bloke gets hammered .

Say Cleary is injured and out for game 3, who will be NSWs halfback? With Moses also being ruled out

Katoa

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Will Luai get suspended for eye gouging?

 

[Lukic]

Luai was better in the second half after a poor first but he has too many silly errors in his game, usually from over enthusiasm.

I guess it's live by the sword die by the sword, but he'd be a much better player imo if he sat back and picked his moments a bit more. It always gets a little frantic when he gets the ball nearer the ruck, whereas when he's two wide on a shift with a bit of space he comes up with some excellent plays.

I know it's an origin thread so don't want to bring Tigers footy into it too much but gee we really need to put him in the 6 to get the best out of him.

We haven't had a Qld ref since Dave Manson in the 90s......actually forgot Tim Mander .....did he ref SOO

Didn't mind Manson. Honest, always tried to get it right. Understood he wasn't the star attraction.

Isiah Katoa. He may get the start in next year’s series anyway.

 

[innsaneink]

What a farcically adjudicated game...it was like a bi polar episode.
How klein continues to get the big gig has me stuffed

 

[Telltails]

Cleary definitely carrying a niggle.

 

[Don Kershane]

Bellamy there was no chance of Stef getting injured so really just a training run.

 

[Wiz]

Na no chance, it was a little facial. Won't even be a charge. The guy was pulling on his headgear.

Luai had no raking action across the eye/face. I think he will be ok.

I don’t know but pencil Burton in for 18th man.

Not completely fit I’d say.
