Surprised to see the fastest man on the planet is an Australian league player. Maybe just due to the Olympics being cancelled this year?

So by my count that’s about the 5th time a side from Queensland has been called the worst ever and won.

40 years and NSW still don’t get SOO

 

[Andrew Mc]

He said the challenge was successful?

It was, but it made no difference. Only a penalty would have seen NSW get a shot.

 

[balmainforever]

Cleary was diabolical in that 2nd half

Cleary has been diabolical since the GF

 

[PhatBoy]

He said the challenge was successful?

It was successful in that it was not a NSW lost ball, however they wanted a penalty for a strip which would have given them a play. A knock on from Queensland means a scrum would have to set, which involves the clock, therefore its full time

 

[Aucklander]

Great game.

Like Munster last week, losing Tedesco had a huge impact, but still, NSW was right in it to the end.

 

[juss]

I also reckon NSW positional selection has been atrocious all series. Fittler had a shocker of a series.

 

[Boomerfan99]

Should've been another sin bin. Blatant cheating.

Sour grapes. just not good enough.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Sour grapes. just not good enough.

You're saying that to the least biased person in the thread.

 

[sosos]

Clearly was unbelievably good in game 2. Too late he learns that it's a series.

 

[nobbyiscool]

And fu** fittler for leaving wighton out wide for 70 mins

That.

He looked more dangerous in 2 sets at the end than Walker had looked for 74 minutes before that.

 

[Acinath]

Freddy the difference this series

 

[Aucklander]

Sour grapes. just not good enough.

I couldn't have given 2 shits who won. It should've been a sin bin.

 

[nobbyiscool]

I also reckon NSW positional selection has been atrocious all series. Fittler had a shocker of a series.

I think there's a bunch of friggen fans that could've picked a better side simply by picking players in their best positions.

To be fair he had a great previous game. The Queensland halves Munster him this game though .

While it was fairly obvious Kaufusi deliberately laid in the play the ball, it’s not a professional foul and would only be a bin if the same infringement had happened repeatedly already.

Ie. when a team is penalised for being inside the 10 2-3 times and the ref warns them with ‘next time it’s a bin.’

 

[sosos]

I was hoping Luai might get a guernsey, although Fittler had to stick with the game 2 winning half pairing.

Really lacked a creative spark like Munster was.

 

[balmainforever]

Is it just me or is Cook way overrated. He can’t play 80 mins.

It slowed the play way down to the point where NSW lost all their advantage. Clear bin for mine mate.

With respect to Wighton, Cody Walker was in his best position and was in rare form at the end of the season.

A popular mantra in origin is that you pick your best 17 players and find them a spot from there. Queensland built a dynasty on it.

Greg Inglis would make an all time origin team as a winger - it was literally his third best position.

Wighton is a very versatile player

It means more to Queenslanders and they love being the underdogs, NSW might have more talent but they don't play with the same passion and spirit.

 

[sosos]

Hard to recall a less effective centre pair than Gutharson and that forward who came on when Tedesco went down

Gutho went to FB
the centres were Wighton And Yeo

I don’t really think there is a precedent for it.

Every Rick penalty or inside the 10
Penalty slows the opposition down to the point that it costs them their advantage. But outside of a line break when the defensive team is largely still behind the ruck and there is a clear scoring opportunity I don’t really know of many one-out penalties that would
result in a bin.

If that scenario we just saw was 20 minutes into the game with the score 0-0, it would just be a penalty

 

[Plugger35]

Munster a deserving MOTM, played a blinder.
