State of Origin 2026

Api on the bench. Well deserved.

NSW Blues game two team​

1. James Tedesco 2. Brian To’o 3. Casey McLean 4. Kotoni Staggs 5. Tolu Koula 6. Mitchell Moses 7. Nathan Cleary 8. Payne Haas 9. Reece Robson 10. Mitchell Barnett 11. Hudson Young 12. Dylan Lucas 13. Isaah Yeo (c) 14. Cameron Murray 15. Victor Radley 16. Addin Fonua-Blake 17. Api Koroisau 18. Ethan Strange 19. Mark Nawaqanitawase. 20th man: Haumole Olakau’atu
 
Dylan Lucas is a good player but did Haumole Olakau'atu deserve to be dropped completely? No strange aswell?

What the hell
Haumole had some errors, however watching the game live he was one of the only ones playing with true passion and aggression in the first half. The rest perked up when they were running downhill against 12. He should not have been dropped, although it does look like he might be nursing a lower leg injury.

I thought Houmole was strong. I rate Lucas big time but this clown of a coach has replaced a right edge backrower who played well with a left edge backrower who has never played Origin. The guy is a complete fruitloop
 
Queensland wins game 2 as it’s the best result for the NRL , I re watched the girls SOO and I said it in game 2 Sharp,was doing her best to keep Queensland in it , after second watch I come up with the same idea , nsw girls had other ideas but gee you can see some stuff that makes you just shake your head , I think this game will go to,Queensland in a big way , couple reasons , they will want to win to keep it going , they have a good coach even though he is a grub , but nsw team selection and a complete dill for a coach says Queensland by 20+ minimum, could,be even more
 
NSW did not have a gameplan in game 1, they just seem to go out there and rely on the fact that they are the better team and should win. When things go to crap they cant arrest the slide...this has been the case under both Fittler and Daley. If they weren't skiing downhill in game 1 after ponga was sent off than they 100% lose that game. Im sure plenty of QLDers have made a motza always being the underdogs, just like plenty of NSW punters have done their arses.

Since 2000s:

- Haas probably best front rower
- To'o probably best winger
- Cleary top 3 halfbacks
- Tedesco 2nd best fullback

And they're all in their best form.. surely Daley does not manage to lose another game?

Just be ready for another contentious call that swings the game. I’d really love to see the script, assume all players and officials have a copy now, just need to practice and memorise it !!! Lol🤣
 
So many slow players.

Api is a good choice but expecting a loss.

Boring team good Origin pick 10 years ago. QLDs team good pick in 2026.
