State of Origin 2025

[Oldman]

Fair enough. But my question is, who do you think is a better centre option, Watson or Crichton (Angus)/Young?

I’d probably go with Watson
Ever in the centres of on the wing and Lomax into centre.
I’d back Watson to beat To’a over 100 metres so his speed doesn’t worry me too much.
That’s my thoughts anyway I’m sure others would have other ideas.

Some great consistent observations from the scholar that is Blocker

Blocker : what’s all this criticism for Loz? The people that are blaming him for the loss have no idea! Loz is the coach, he wasn’t on the field, the players are the ones that need to take responsibility for that loss, not Loz

Fast forward 1 minute

Blocker : NSW have had a lot of success switching the ball back on the inside, but this time everytime they tried to do it on Wednesday night Qld closed the door, that was great coaching by Billy who’s picked up on that

Fast forward another minute

Blocker : and what about the selection of big papa? It raised a lot of eyebrows with people saying he was too old but what a master stroke to prove them all wrong

Never change ck

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

No the weren’t. It was boring as batshit.

QLD were near perfect with a vastly under rated squad. They played for each other, their coach and their mate.
NSW tried to get by on talent alone with bugger all plans and not a fully committed attitude.
Real RL fans appreciated what QLD achieved. It was a special performance.

I’m personally glad the series is over so we can focus on the really important games ahead !
Starting in Auckland on Sunday !

I'm completely over Origin it doesn't feel the same anymore maybe I'm just getting older.

I think he was referring to how teams play in today’s era,
5 hit ups and a kick and wait for a mistake.
Unfortunately free flowing football from generations long ago are no longer with us.

Yep, those who don’t [This word has been automatically removed] about such a fantastic performance.

 

[coivtny]

NSW don't get SOO like Queensland dpn't get Sheffield Shield cricket.

 

[Odessa]

NSW lost because its team were arrogant, self centred buttholes.

And because Clearly is not an origin player maybe the greatest club player of all time

Nathan Clearly is a great club player because of his dad's coaching and the systems they play to it's very complexed and breaks teams down


Nathan has no natural X factor he is not Jerome Hughes or Andrew Johns or Mitchell Moses

Origin can not be won on systems that's why Bellamy lost when coaching

You have a solid game plan and bring out your players natural abilities

Nathan is Mitchell Pearce 2.0

 

[Merlot]

Think they made their point since Fatty won the unbeatable, via the super league war, If the tide doesn't change the game will become nought.

 

[Merlot]

Daley n Bellamy the worst to coach in/over 2 decades join forces , LOL.Bellamy will never sell his boys out ,nor is is heart helping NSW

 

[tig_prmz]

Gould never gets Origin right.

He always has a 2 way bet with his agenda.

Blues lost the unlosable means he can push for Burton at 5/8.

If Blues had won, yeh I always knew they would win.

He's never wrong.
