State of Origin 2026

[EllisFan]

Yes this is correct.
I wouldn’t ever pick Moses despite the success he stumbled into.
Luai and Talagi arent the answer though. They are servants.
Strange is your long term 5/8. That kid will be a champion one day.

When was Moses last success? That feels like a jobs for the boys selection.

I know you’re not a fan but I believe Luai is NSW version of Munster. Brings the energy and the unpredictability.

$2.07 for Qld is almost giving money away

Easy money, thanks Laurie.

Oh well, at least api is fresh, game 3 should really be Brailey to start and api on bench but what do we know, Daley and Mal were champion players they are proof your not automatically a good coach

Haha by all means pick him.
I guarantee you’ll get his performance v Penrith rather than the one we saw on the weekend.

Hopefully he plays a big fortnight for us and comes into contention.

It’s like QLD turning their backs on that all conquering Brisbane team of the 90’s, not picking guys like Edwards, Api & Luai, in my opinion. They aren’t superstars in front of them (Teddy the exception I guess).

When did Mal prove he can’t coach at Origin level?

Luai doesn’t consistently put in for his club side.
You’re a brave man to trust him at Origin level…and especially against this QLD team.

They won at like 90% year after year. With and without Nathan.

He’s losing more at WT, but who doesn’t.

That chip on his shoulder is perfect for origin.

Moses getting hooked was hilarious

Robson is awful

Like I said…go ahead and pick him. I’ll get the popcorn ready lol…

Unfortunately it’s on the snoz to pick em. He’ll probably stick with that big game star Mitchell Moses.

 

[Tigerdazz2]

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.

On top of virtually courting of players from other teams via commentary of games the constant praising of both "Superstar" Galvin & "Creamy Bula" before those players were able to be legally approached by his club is ironically a DOG ACT & the NRL should take action if he does it again, make him either quit Channel 9 (though after the next TV rights come up he might not have a job there anymore) or quit the Dogs.

There's more than a few Dogs supporters would hope it's the latter going by the "banter" over on the "Kennel Forum"!

Daley is the single biggest problem with NSW.
Complete idiot.
The amount of ball had in attacking areas didn’t help much either,
Makes you wonder if someone paid off their gambling debts in one go. 🙄

Mitchell Moses long kicking game not very useful in the red zone.

 

[Leck]

I don't understand why Daley got the gig again this year, especially after last years debacle.

If it wasn't for Klein's dubious decision in game 1 the series would be over.

Daley now officially has the most losses of all NSW coaches...

 

[king_sirro]

Gotta sack Daley immediately. These 2 performances were terrible. The selection of Tedesco embarrassing. Lucas's on the right over Houmole proved to be one of the worst selections of all time, im a big fan of Lucas's, but he was shocking. Picking 3 locks on the bench (taking into account Strange was planned to be used in the middle), the guy as a coach is cringey and clueless.

Get Andrew Johns to do a cameo for one game and see if he can lift the group he selects. Its about getting a guy they react to now, Johns or Stuart are the options for me.

 

[Sco77y]

I don't know what Cleary is supposed to do when you're getting smashed in the ruck.

Cleary's ammo is preparation and repetitions. He needs players around him who he can rely on to run the lines and supports he needs.

Lucas and Radley kept coming in his way and Robson's service out of dummy half was averge simply because it was so premeditated.

Walkers kicking in first half was horrendous.

This isn't on Cleary. This is solely on Daley.

I don’t think Cleary and Moses are a good match either. Moses takes over too often and Cleary didn’t seem to have enough time to build into his own game.
