AMPOL State of Origin 2025

[Pancakes]

Crazy that penalty conversions are 2/2 but try conversions are 0/5

Do you even get to enjoy a win? Or do you just hate wank over Ashley Klein every game?

I don’t come from NSW so why would I get excited about a win?

 

[Andrew Mc]

Qld kicking has been woeful tonight.

 

[phantom13]

phantom13 can take some credit too .

Just doing my part

 

[Jatz]

Unpopular opinion but I think QLD should be considering dropping Munster.

Give Dearden the reigns.

 

[Jatz]

Cleary’s goal kicking is the only reason this is as close as it is. Been a dominant display in enemy territory.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Was off Edwards, but it was nowhere near his shoulder...

I’d drop Grant and play Dearden there tbh. Or bring Mahoney in.

 

[010203]

That looked forward.

 

[Andronicus]

Munster not used to being picked up for them.

 

[Pancakes]

About 3m forward that one

Don’t disagree with this. Been a while since Munster played exceptional footy

 

[sosos]

Go Blues!!!!

He didn't add a lot tonight.

Think one of DCE/Munster needs to go, I don’t think Munster and Dearden would work in the halves though.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Cleary MotM? (despite the conversion kicking)...

 

[phantom13]

QLD has more points in them than that game… unfortunately NSW does too and likely a lot more.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Pretty easy win. 12pts doesn’t reflect it. Qld forwards meh.

 

[phantom13]

Cleary MotM? (despite the conversion kicking)...

Lomax and Haas I thought.

How’s that for an odd stat.

And that's 4.

Not once in any of those examples have the kweelandas cracked double figures either.

Back to the drawing board for Queensland and Billy Slater. The Blues have outplayed Queensland for the 3rd Origin in a row. Ominously for Queensland, game 2 is in Perth, where they've scored a grand total of just 18 points in 2 games compared to the Blues 82.

Probably right, Grant was close to worst on tonight so it might be a bit knee jerk.

I think Dearden and DCE could work.

We’re gonna have to change something cause that team tonight isn’t gonna go any better in game 2

 

[Jatz]

O

Would certainly hope so, the only points came off that one error. Really ordinary display tonight.

 

[Stottzy]

So much for Tino and Munster being the reason they lost last year.

I’d prefer to drop DCE (due to age, may as well start blooding someone) but really lacking a quality 7 to come in - unless I’m forgetting someone obvious?
