State of Origin Game 2 Thread - Sydney

[Big Red Machine]

Should of been a penalty try but I'll take the binning.

Take the two get the ball back with down to 12 men.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Penalty try any day of the week. He got there first even with being held.

 

[Ron]

More ref bias towards the Queenslanders. Just like last game.

 

[Ron]

* yeah

 

[Andrew Mc]

Got the 8 points in any case.

 

[Big Red Machine]

Justice has been served!

7/8 more mins with the advantage, Go get another one boys!

Penalty try my arse. Right call to sin bin, but no way could anyone say that he was certain to score. Read the rules.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Make it 12 then.

Yep. Have to be 110% sure.

 

[Big Red Machine]

I'm quite pleased with the binning.

FUMBLE! MORRIS! TRY!

 

[Andrew Mc]

Cronk obviously didn't learn - tackled the player without the ball again there, but NSW got it anyway.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Contest the ball in the air ffs. Get him off now.

 

[Ron]

Conversions could be the difference. That was a great kick.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Yep, great conversion.

 

[Ron]

YES

I don't get why it wasn't a line drop-out when Jennings knocked the ball into touch to save the try, I'm assuming it's the blind touch judge's fault?

[Andrew Mc]

That'll do. But "home of rugby league"? Unlikely considering that they didn't even bother sticking around to show the man of the match/wrap up here in Melbourne. If someone up north can post who picked up man of the match, that'd be appreciated. Thought Morris was pretty good, but Farah with 60+ tackles would have to be in consideration.

I was just amazed they didn't call it a try for knocking the ball out of his hands...

Bird MotM. Congrats to Cronk for winning the game for NSW.

Correct. If I was a NSW fan id be blaming the refs for QLD losing. Will lose with class instead

Greg Bird got it mate.


Farah made 64 tackles, closest to him Myles on 39.


I think he's MOTM without question, but I am biased.


As always, smashed his opposite number tonight

 

[JasRulz63]

I thought Farrah deserved it for covering Uate who was a defensive liability on the wing.

 

[Tigger Please!]

robbie farah: made for origin

 

[damochandler]

farrah tackled himself into the ground i thought he was the blues best
