State of Origin 2025

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

2 weeks.

Eddie Ward too. He was pretty good.

Yeah wasn't a fan of Eddie .....from the old BRL days

Large font required.

Plenty of real estate on that proboscis

Poor
Marker D by Stephanie

Yep
Funny his weekend hooker (Grant)
knows that speed of the mark is his Achilles heel and just reminded every other NRL coach that when stefano is at marker the dummy half should run.
Don’t know how happy bellyache will be 😂

Stefano is too slow for the SOO stage can’t see him be given another game in the decider.

I liked Mander .....Balmain supporter and he hot the 2005 GF

LNP guy. Queensland referees seem to be political types too. Is he still in parliament? He was good in the GF. I can still hear Brett Hodgson yelling “He touched it Timmy!”

I just remember him calling over and over that someone needed to take the shot at goal after Payton’s try.

Klein already missing stuff right in front of him.

Worst referee and they should shaft him before he destroys the finals

Luai will get some time out for that and will cost us dearly. You can’t have a guy getting payed 1.2 million doing things like that. I thought he played overall pretty poor. Discipline was awful.

His shirt kicks through are no doubt good but I thought that was about it.

Klein is a disgrace !
To'o is such an incredible player.

100%
first half he was literally a Maroons player.
Second half he ruled that Ponga knocked the ball forward that went 2m back.

Reportedly when the Grasshopper was referring an Origin match, NSW did a knock on and he said “scrum, our feed”

Nah,
Luai was Grubby. It is Origin but I was sad to see the things he was doing.
Luai was awesome and gelled with the attack. I saw how he often got 2x defenders on him before passing.
Luai's small kicks were good, as you say.

Yes Luai made errors, Cleary kicked it out on the full twice and no one in NSW can kick.
Laurie Daily will be keeping Luai and IMHO he did well tonight.

Yeah, that was Barry Gomersall out there tonight wasn't it?

I feel like eye gouging is an act a lot of times down out of frustration, which is surprising that he did it in Origin and not while playing for us.

Mixed bag tonight, created two tries and had a hand in others though. He’s a competitor who goes at the game full throttle, I’ll happily accept the off days, if WT culture is gonna change, he’ll need to be a big part.

Absolute rort.

Referee is a cheat

 

[69-05-41]

Nein is an absolute wankathon but this "headline" deserves a Logie. Should be Daley's epitaph when he is finally replaced as Qld's most successful coach ever.

 

[Flippedy]

I liked Mander .....Balmain supporter and he got the 2005 GF

I think Mander was the last of the really good refs, though Checchin was alright also.

I think Luai is very lucky to only be escaping with a fine for what he did….
