State of Origin 2026

[pacey]

I heard someone say that State of Origin is still being carried by the hype of moments that happened > 10/15 years ago, and honestly, I agree. With the game getting softer, how long can origin stay relevant

Daley will.be smashed online and all RL media tomorrow

As he should - he’s muttered and mumbled his way through this entire series…

Article comes out before game day that he can’t fire the team up - camera goes to the half time speeches and his assistant is addressing the room while he stands in the corner…

Could play - not a coaches notepad.

Toi

NSW looks good on paper

Toilet paper.

 

[EllisFan]

Luai & Api in.
Moses & Robson out.

Laurie Daley is such a dope. Olakau'atu not in the team, Koroisau 0 minutes, bringing on Strange to do what at the end? Not to mention the slam dunk selections who missed out like May and Ford. It's too funny NSWRL thought he was right for the job.

 

[Bula]

Cleary worst on ground.

 

[Flippedy]

Hardly matters the blue's goose is cooked.

Yep Qld will win the series yet again.

 

[Tucker]

Big Tino…123m and 27 tackles from 57 minutes.
Your dad would be proud.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Daley is a professional idiot.

Absolutely pathetic from Daley, dumb [This word has been automatically removed] has cost NSW game 2. I know technically this should’ve won the series for QLD as NSW only won game 1 due to the send off, but Daley made some very dumb changes for game 2 and didn’t even give Api a run when Robson was struggling big time. I can’t wait for the media to give him the bagging he deserves. Worst coach in NSW history.

If following the tigers wasnt bad enough we have this useless flop of a coach for nsw

On paper we could field 2-3 teams that could take on qld and be competitive.

But no not this muppet

I just hate how it disrupts the regular season. I find it more to be an annoyance then a spectacle these days and losing tonight I just feel meh but don't really care.

 

[Tucker]

Is SOO rigged - you betcha
Is Daley a coach - no way in hell
Is Cleary a superstar - not in origin

How is it rigged again?
The only reason we need a decider is due to a ridiculous send off.

 

[batboy]

Imagine having none of Haas, Barnett or AFB on the field. Can tell Laurie was coached by sheens. The lack of thinking you need props is wild.

Been watching origin for 30+ years
- I still can’t believe the Blues don’t respect the need for leg speed in the middle.

Did AFB use 2 interchanges to contribute about 10 minutes (again)
It’s hard enough without old Mr. Nice guy playing all the nice guys and keeping his mates happy…

 

[innsaneink]

What an arse Daley is for taking Api and not playing him when we needed him. And now he has no idea if he would have made a difference to a shit performance from is dumb selections.

Api will.miss the Dragons game.if hes picked for game III...and then we have the Wahs the friday after

 

[Twodogs]

Looking at this debacle objectively, QLD all run forward while NSW take their time getting back inside with predictable results.

Yep Qld will win the series yet again.

Qld won in the first 20 minutes of game 1, the remainder has just been a couple of plot twists and some comic relief by a Klown and a guy with a big nose

 

[jadtiger]

Daley is a complete disaster as a coach,a stunned mullet could do no worse than him.

 

[RonDingo]

Daley.....lol

 

[Tim Sheens]

Looks like my choice of watching Blade Runner 2049 again instead was correct.

NSW got somewhat lucky in game 1, and whilst I don't know the scoreline, a quick perusal of these last pages read similar to our recent Penrith match ones.
