AMPOL State of Origin 2025

Good luck Robert Toia.

 

[sosos]

Good anthem.

 

[010203]

Good to see Allan Langer back on a rugby league field.

Mainstream media?

Have a look at channel 9’s socials, it’s been mostly Gus/Galvin all week.

Oh don’t get me wrong it’s probably been overshadowed - well not probably - that’s taken centre stage - but the instant I saw ‘spying scandal’ (I mean seriously what gets gleaned from spying on a rugby league training session - do they think the blues are practicing mouse trap plays?) and then a Courier Mail back page with a picture of Leniu saying ‘smash this grub’ I thought ‘what a wank.’

 

[010203]

Carrigan's contact on Edwards wouldn't have made a toddler cry.

 

[PhatBoy]

The blues will win this. I’ve already seen enough lol.

This is a braindead qld side

 

[Andronicus]

Hands all over it.

How the **** does Klown try to give that to Qld?

 

[010203]

I was surprised the ref ruled that as a knock on initially.

 

[Paul Kersey]

That’s 3 stupid penalties Qld have given away.

 

[eddiesmith]

Always good to see the $Million winger dropping easy balls.

 

[010203]

If this was the IPL, Billy would want to call a strategic timeout.

 

[010203]

C'mon Billy, stick these in game interviews where the sun doesn't shine.

 

[phantom13]

Hands all over it.

How the **** does Klown try to give that to Qld?

To be fair even Freddy and Joey said initially it looked like he just lost it.

 

[PhatBoy]

Hands all over it.

How the **** does Klown try to give that to Qld?

Because he dropped it.

It was a penalty in the strictest sense but he didn’t ’strip’ it.

Players should at least have to hold onto the ball.

The blues were never going to lose the challenge because the tackler has no earthly reason to still have his hand on the ball by that stage which in itself should be enough to get a six-again but f**k I wish they would start putting some onus on ball carriers not just letting the ball go

 

[phantom13]

Would like to see the maroons use their forwards coming off their own line more. Making the centres and wings do alot of it so far

 

[010203]

Blues winning the yardage battle as they did in game 3 last year. The pay-off for that came in the last 15-20 minutes.

Yeh defense and coming off your own line will be exhausting come the last 20

 

[PhatBoy]

Come on Andronicus tell me how something I’ve moaned about repeatedly is now, because of this instance in this particular game, because I’m biased.

 

[PhatBoy]

Good argument. Same as all your others I guess, and about as insightful.

 

[phantom13]

DCE still has unreal footwork

 

[010203]

This is what Queensland have been waiting 20 minutes for.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Bad decision to try and catch that.

 

[phantom13]

Queensland looks more dangerous but NSW look like they will control the game for most of it.

 

[010203]

That was a low percentage play by Harry to end the set.

 

[PhatBoy]

DCE still has unreal footwork

Has blown a couple of good opportunities to put teammates into space, though. Blues’ defence has been good when they’ve had to scramble
