State of Origin 2026

Did Moses play , must have missed him

To be fair his kicking game is the only reason we were in the first half but agree he did nothing other then that.

I was surprised Ivan Cleary rested his star players for a tough match and brought them back for the Tigers. It seemed to me that Cleary wanted a final FU to the Tigers before he retires.

So Riff flogged Tigers. When teams win that big, they relax and go into party mode and use their trick shots rather than graft.

After that game I figured NSW would probably lose Origin 2 because the Penrith crew had such a weak lead up. You don't prepare for the toughest possible game with a walk in the park - you'll come in without that edge needed at the top level.

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.

It’s no surprise the last time we picked a Halves combo who actually competed each other for a whole series Luai and Moses we won the series

No doubt he is still not fit enough, it was a dumb selection especially since Daley had a ready made replacement in Strange, who showed great qualities in the first game.

How can they advertise Channel 90 as High Definition, the picture is shit.

Go to 9NOW and stream it and the difference in the picture quality is incredible, but everything else is still shit.

At least they are consistent in that respect. 🤣

I thought that was just me! I normally watch the NRL on Kayo because it’s way more clear compared to 90.

We also had a decent coach at the time. Daley will cost NSW again like last year. Even if by a miracle he somehow wins game 3 he’s gotta be sacked.

The fact he took him off with 5 minutes to go to "save him" means Moses will be 6 for next game too

And I feel like you take away Cleary's main skill in kicking and organising. Strange is a good foil to both of them
