Just arrived to pass judgement on the first origin game. NSW showed they are still garbage because they spent about 50 minutes 10 metres from the QLD line and the only try they got was gifted by a miraculous ref decision to ignore a blatant forwards pass. Both knock-on calls at the end of the second half bounced off the head of a NSW player then knocked forward by a NSW player. Refereeing was on the whole equally terrible in both directions. Laurie is a clown pitching a shitfit because he can't pick a side that is any good. QLD looked old and tired all game. Walters is kinda like Tito at Barca in that he just did exactly what the absurdly successful guy before him did to slightly less successful but still good enough results.

Bring on game 2

Also, its a south of the tweed conspiracy

Wait, why are people having a cry that a dude coathangers one of the key players for the other team in origin and gets a suspension. It's because he wears a blue jersey isn't it.

As I said, gently caress off Murdoch press.

And yeah, maybe don't high tackle JT the game before origin if you want to play. Or if you do, at least rub him out for the series. Amateur.

NRL 360 were arguing they should change the rules so he only gets fined because missing out on big games is too much punishment for a 'minor penalty'. Now maybe I am just a softhearted Qlder but it looked like a pretty shocking high shot to me.

I haven't seen the shot beyond the photo in that article, and I think it looks pretty bad. No idea of his record, though, and the NRL judiciary has regularly shown over the years it's happy to give bizarre sentences to Origin players (I can think of it happening both ways over the years, but can't look it up at work). From what I've seen it looks like a week off, easy, but on past performance I wouldn't be shocked if they found a way to give him 95 points.

The fuckery last year to delay the tribunal is probably the worse fuckery I have seen with suspensions but hey NSWRL are going to be shitlords so welp

Ehh I dunno, maybe it would be fairer if you infringe during a regular season NRL match that you're only suspended from regular NRL season matches and not from rep level (be it NSW, QLD, Kangaroos etc).

I agree that we shouldn't punish players for trying to take out their opponents the match before rep level football.

Salary cap violations isnt much. Nsw deserve their curse. I wouldnt care if Meninga and Alfie were sacrificing virgins under the stadium.

After gus gould let one of his forwards take a conversion when they were up by 24 points and laughed when he scuffed it they deserve everything they get.

The thing that always amazes me is how grubby NSW continue to play. Klemmer and Gallen especially but constant late hits on kickers, borderline high shots. This season their new master plan seemed to be trying to pull shirts over the qld player's heads to slow down the ruck. It never helps but they keep being petulant shits.

It's a large factor which people seem to forget on the QD side, then lambast the Blues for: Having a non-changing core of players who know one another. It was why the Roosters halves were totally going to succeed together.

HOWEVER

even if Billy Slater played for a trash and garbage team like the tigers or broncos he'd still be the greatest NRL, QD and Australian full back of all time so QD would still win every series he wasn't injured for.

you're welcome

This is nonsense though, because Queensland won 6 of their dominant 8 game streak with Lockyer/Smith/JT spine, who all played for different clubs. Karmichael Hunt and Matty Bowen also played a shitload of games at fullback in that time as well.

NSW has generally drawn their players heavily from clubs like the Dogs and the Roosters and they've been complete garbage even though they're playing together and (in the case of the Roosters) are probably abusing the salary cap in that time as well.

Hearing whinging about the Salary cap when the Manly players were in NSW for ages (messr.s Stewart for example) is nice

I mean, essentially Storm were being noble and just in the face of the Manly cheating juggernaut. Keeping QLD on a level playing field and all that.

When you think of how many layers off bullshitting insulation NSW have, with the judiciary, media, refs ect its only fair that a little 3rd party paying should be allowed.

Nsw has been abysmal in attack but lol if you think that the refs have been anything but kind to Queensland - there could have been many more penalties and in reality Smith should also be in the bin for his cynical and repeated work

Not calling the dodgy ruck poo poo NSW have been pulling or the constant big hits on kickers that NSW has been doing for years is a real problem. It's kinda hard to actually pick out qld not getting calls because the refs are doing everything they can to keep the ball in the blues hands.
