State of Origin 2026

[Strider]

I expect QLD to win game 2 by 30+ The team is maybe worse than game 1 - except for Api of course.

If Sam Fainu was fit he would be a walk in. JUST KIDDING! NSW would pick some slow old plodders anyway.

Klein was always going to be retained.

Nice touch putting the Klown's jersey colour next to his name. Let's see if he can beat his 10-0 penalty count after 42 minutes from last year.

Of course QLD will win, the script is written every year, plus some of Daley’s selections are just plain stupid.

I agree re selections but funny enough man to man, NSW is better in every position.

Daley sounds like such a dope when he talks, everyone seems to say positive things about him in the media though so maybe he's just very bad with media (even though he was in media before) but seriously if you're a player and the head coach talks to you with uhms aahs, yaaaahs, without making any real sense, you'd feel no confidence in the game plan.

Other than No.9 and the bench, NSW is so much better on paper.

Not quite but the most attractive bet, especially once the scripts are issued to ensure a decider. Sorry, being cynical !

nsw cant play a more pathetic 20 minutes, to'o will not drip the ball like that again.
pretty confident nsw get the job done

I thought that going into game 2 last year. Then NSW got hammered in the penalty count, I'm just trying to think of the refs name......

Big difference is that you can't get suspended these days for something done in origin.

Do you mean when he completely changed momentum in yet another game and ultimately flipped the result with single a blow on his short whistle? Most people remember game 1 this year but clearly this crap has been happening much longer. Fortunately the NRL is a highly reputable organisation and would not allow someone with a known gambling problem to officiate SOO's and GF's. That would be like sending someone with a gambling problem to Vegas every year!
