[The 2nd Spitter]

NSW looks strong on paper. However:
- Mitchell Pearce wont have two decent SOO games in a row
- Dugan is like a scratchie - he'll either win the game for NSW, but more likely lose it....
- Tamou's absence is understated... mostly cos I don't think Woods should have been his replacement.

 

[UmoGus]

NSW to get smoked

 

[Nano]

I think it will be a close physical game, I'm hoping NSW will win this game but if QLD user Cherry-Evans and we don't use Reynolds then they will break the game open and take it. I'm still thinking NSW by 2-4.

 

[Bob dog]

Dugan has made some good line breaks in club footy but am still wondering if his defence is at SOO level.

 

[Berries]

Going up the game. We will lose this one and win the third (NSW)

 

[Moedogg]

Josh Reynolds to score the match winner...

 

[silva]

got a sneaky feeling NSW will win the series 3 nil

 

[Line Break]

Not sure about Nathan Merrit in there - he'll get slaughtered on the kick returns.

What game were u watching in origin 1?

Pearce was shit. Moloney was good. And Tomau was ordinary.

Dugan is a risk. Time will tell how he performs.

You could say the same about barba too if he is to play origin some point in his career

 

[Stoofy]

Im hoping for a win by NSW but it seems unlikely.

They grow an extra head up there (look out for Myles literally).

I can also smell an all-in brawl. I want to see what the refs will do!

 

[Nano]

TONIGHT!!!

Hoping NSW wins tonight and both our boys Josh Morris and Josh Reynolds have a helping hand in wining it for NSW!

Good luck boys and bring it on home!

If Reynolds or Morris scores the series/match winning try tonight it would be insane for NSW and us Doggies fans. The whole state of NSW would owe it to us if it does happens!

 

[Stringer]

I think QLD will do it comfortably tonight, which will set up a blockbuster at ANZ.

 

[Papa Emeritus]

NSW will white wash this series.

 

[Blue&White]

I think QLD will do it comfortably tonight, which will set up a blockbuster at ANZ.

Agree. QLD will also win the series. JT and Cronk are going to teach Pearce and Maloney a football lesson.
