State of Origin 2026

[Flippedy]

Well, yet again, zero heart. Qld have been the better team since 2006 with exception of that one year turbo and latrine played in 2023 or 24?? When they carved up playing like 2 fullbacks roaming all over the park. Good times lol

I honestly wish they would can the whole thing once and for all to put us Blues supporters out of our misery and stop interrupting the real competition.

 

[lathami]

Gee luck he but wonder kid strange on that straight ball runner made a massive difference. Same as Robson, great game! Look at Harry crap game.

 

[Tom Shines]

Brailey has been named for the sharks this week. If Brailey gets through unscathed he’ll be back for Origin 3. They won’t pick both Brailey and Api.

Is Robson safe ?

Also hate to aay it as he had been a favourite over the years, but To’o isn’t at this level anymore

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

All these blokes have had serious/ long term injuries this season though. Best, McLean, Latrell were not available tonight.

best latrell both available game 3
staggs is a dud

 

[Tom Shines]

staggs is a dud

I like him but really bad tonight

Can’t win the game when your coach has no idea and wants qld to win and staggs was qlds 14th player . Needs points and leaves his most creative player on the bench. Should never coach again at this level

 

[Siberian Kitten]

Ponga with Cobbo totally schooled Staggs and Marky Mark. Our defence on the right was not Origin standard.

he won't from next year

 

[Tim Sheens]

But he has only played 1 game in what 6 weeks

Yeah, but he will have only missed the game against the Titans in the past 2 weeks and we don't get another bye for a couple of months. Happy to have him fresh for our potential finals run home.

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.

I was saying this to my mate too. The NSWRL directors need to be sacked as well for reappointing Loz. I heard from an insider that a few coaches, including Matt King, were flabbergasted that Loz was reappointed.

 

[Furious1]

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

Selfishly, I hope Api retires from it. He owes Daley nothing. The cash would be hard to turn down though

 

[Tucker]

Geeze Gus is a cancer on this sport.
He just had a sook that NSW has to stop listening to “expert” advice from people outside the setup. That fat headed fool does nothing but push his advice, through all media platforms, at every chance presented.

Getting exposed badly on the kicks, if McLean is fit he should start

Yea he should give the up yours to daley

 

[Telltails]

AFB played what 6 minutes ??

Selfishly, I hope Api retires from it. He owes Daley nothing. The cash would be hard to turn down though

Brailey may be back for the third and if that's the case API won't be picked.

 

[TigerBurnsy]

Ponga with Cobbo totally schooled Staggs and Marky Mark. Our defence on the right was not Origin standard.

At least marky mark can score a magic try, staggs did nothing with the ball and hogged it when he had mark unmarked and dropped it trying to offload inside

 

[Tucker]

Ponga with Cobbo totally schooled Staggs and Marky Mark. Our defence on the right was not Origin standard.

2 of those tries were against 12 men, with Staggs missing.
They did play well and capitalise though and that was great to see.

Is Robson safe ?

NSW need to make changes but they will be wary about making too many. I expect:

Robson to hold his spot but Brailey or Api to be on the bench and used. Robson to play 50 minutes.
Latrell to come back in.
Strange in for Moses.
Too out. Bostock in with McLean unavailable or Koula to be pushed out one spot with Ltrell coming back.
Liam Martin or Olakauatu to come in for Lucas.
Yeo to prop, Barnett to bench, AFB out. Murray to start.

That’s still 6 changes. Quite a lot.

He’s out for game three as well.

if he was a qlder
- you’d have statues up of him.
He’s right…

He was critical of the side when first picked, he was critical of the changes.

Hard to work out if Daley is trying to make friends or win a competition.
