2024 State of Origin Game 2 - Other Team Lists and Game Discussion

[Mr 95%]

They will pick cleary and moses 100%. The real dilemma will be if Luai is playing well and they lose the first game.

Luai will be at the Tigers by then, and look what happened to Api’s rep career!

Jurbo is a passenger. I feel sorry for Haas having to carry captain nice guy

Jurbo has a very important role in the team. He makes sure that Fatrell doesn't eat all the team big macs and fall asleep. Ain't many that can keep up with Latrine in terms of Maccas consumption.

That’s right. Luai won’t be in the conversation due to the tigers. Moses and Cleary will be it. I was surprised API was left out though

I thought our Tolman would have been better, at least he would have played a lot more minutes.

The kicking game was on point from Moses. His performance was all class.

As a fellow one eyed Dogs supporter, does it leave you feeling dirty uttering those words?

Bit quiet in the office here... actually all of Brisbane feels like a funeral.

Not at all when he's playing for the Blues, no.
Even Mitchell gets a "pass" in Origin.

Fattrell or Moseys?

Dearden put in a 1/10 rating tonight and did Hunt even play?

Critta was not impressed with Dearden!

 

[N4TE]

Was a great game to watch as a NSW fan but god knows how they will go on the next excited to see. Satisfying watching Slater being disappointed.

 

[Freakzilla]

He was massive last night.. So here is the dilemma Freaky. If Moses leads the Blues to a series winning third game with another superb performance, which would surely cement his spot for next year, what do they do with Cleary next year? Would you partner them in the halves? Or something else? Because you know he’ll be in form..

6. Cleary
7. Moses

Cleary won the GF for the Panthers last season after he moved to 6 with Cogger at 7.

Table-Fiddler and UnWashed were finally both shown up for their horrid defence. They had multiple missed and ineffective tackles, which even then is grossly understated because many times they didn't even attempt a tackle. I thought UnWashed was supposed to be fast, he trailed Mitchell a couple of times without making any ground on him just so he didn't have to attempt to tackle him.

Then the much vaunted Cane Toad spine, who combined had 29 missed and ineffective tackles, for context the rest of the team only had 25. The tell tale was the whole team only managed an 81% tackle efficiency. I would love to see the more meaningful stats on metres gained past the play the ball, which would be through the roof for NSW, an average set distance of 48 metres is outrageous.

The talk before game 1 was Maguire's obvious intention in the players he picked was to come at them "through the front door". Forget that, they went through every door, open, closed or barricaded it made no difference.

WTF. luggage was under 7kg arriving. Now 4kg over. Bought nothing. Wearing. 2 trackpants. 3 jackets. Tops etc in pockets, have 2 pairs of jeans around waist. Not pay $65. Lol

 

[CrittaMagic69]

I still don't understand how Api doesn't make this team

Fly with Deathstar, and you get what you deserve tbh.

Moses had a excellent game, handled the pressure perfectly.

when it’s called upon, some standup, others flounder

I like the look of Angus Crichton. Seems like a real team player, was so pumped when a non club teammate in to’o scored

He'd be a great buy for us in this kind of form lol

It will get interesting if Luai has the tigers doing well
