State of Origin 2026

[supercoach]

I find it very hard to get remotely interested in SOO. What started out a great product and event is now an over hyped channel ninet. Maybe if it was all about the football and not Gus’s melon it might still work

I can somewhat stomach Fox Sports, but Channel 9 is on another planet. Thompson is close to the worst commentator in the country. And the rest of them are just all ego. The mute button will be in full effect.

Does Nathan Cleary need to dominate Origin to be an immortal?

Yes he does.Every immortal dominated in rep football and Cleary does not even go close imho.As far as i am concerned he will never be worthy as an immortal just a very good club player.

Go NSW

Has Beens..how cute.
NSW has never had players as good as these…especially at Origin time.
Just listen and learn.

Johns never dominated apart from a couple of good games ….in fact he rarely played rep football in his position.

You’re probably right…it’s why NSW should never be favourites. That talent and passion behind the scenes is formidable. NSW need to scrape the barrel when ever the coaching position comes up.

 

[Speed2burn]

Apart from Strange and the Manly boys, not much else to be excited about in terms of team selections imo

Would love to see a Strangey masterclass in which leaves the selectors no choice but to dump Mitchy boy for the series. Wouldn’t that be amazing lol

 

[Don Kershane]

Only have to wait two more years for Ivan. Someone in tune with todays players. Unlike Fittler and Daley and their cheer squad.

The secret to beating QLD is quite simple.
Come out aggressive and strangle them out of the game.
If the game becomes an arm wrestle, we usually win….but NSW has flogged us more than we have ever flogged them.

Ready to get your arse kicked Tuck, hmm hopefully lol.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a strong NSW win in this first game.
They have so much strike.

Not making any predictions with origin mate, too hard to pick and it's only a 2 horse race.

 

[Properossi]

Great seeing Boyd Cordner earning a promotion for the Blues into Waterboy, so deserving losers!

Same, struggling to pick Queensland's best and it is only a two horse race - Daley or Klown

 

[magpies forever]

Come on Blues. We can do it.

 

[You Know Who]

Whoever hired this clown to sing the anthem should be banished from all civilised society.

Clown couldn’t even stay in time

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Radley singing the national anthem, treating this seriously.

 

[69-05-41]

Nice touch getting Kermit the Frog to sign the anthem, sounded worse than Lockyer
