SOO Game 2 discussion

[Lady Emerald]

I don't even know why I bothered. Definitely sleeping through game 3.

 

[Lady Emerald]

My game 3 team:

1. Lachlan Coote
2. James Roberts
3. Jack Bird (Josh Dugan if fit)
4. Josh Morris
5. Josh Mansour
6. James Maloney
7. Adam Reynolds
8. Aaron Woods
9. Robbie Farah
10. James Tamou
11. Tyson Frizell
12. Josh Jackson
13. Paul Gallen

14. Wade Graham
15. Beau Scott
16. David Klemmer
17. Andrew Fifita
18. Jack Bird (if dugan is fit)

We can't make drastic changes. That's the problem the team has always made FFS. Not giving a team a chance to gel will kill them. Why do you think QLD keep winning? Because they pick the SAME TEAM every year, with minor changes.

What's the go with Reynolds? He came off injured so he may not be fit either?

if were being honest QLD get away with murder in the ruck and yet again NSW get pinged for indescretions that are barely noticed in club games aswell QLD getting 50-50's.

Spoke to someone this morning who just watches the footy for the game itself, without having any real interest in who wins. Pretty much said this word for word.

I agree with you, Sutton has now become bigger than the game with his holier than thou attitude and his innate ability to influence the ebb and flow by his select timing of penalties. Still NSW were not good enough but that is no excuse for the officials not being good enough either.

 

[Raikkonen]

The series is already lost, so may as well start blooding new players for game three.

Peats in for Farah, G. Bird out, Cartwright in.

Very hard to cop every freakin year. The 4 straight penalties to try and turn momentum around that only yeilded them 2 points to level up at 4-4 was at the minimum, complete and utter referring with prejudice. It did however have the desired affect in halting momentum that NSW had yet again gained deservedly, only so the opposition could have it so meekly and cheaply handed it back to them by the real game managers, the referees.

Clearly they dropped the ball on numerous occasions and got penalties for their reputations. Nek minnut, inversely, just minutes later and much to the dismay of the Blues, Cam Smiths knee dislodges the ball as the NSW player is getting up, an actual deserved penalty. How fuckin disheartening when time after time you are working hard to gain the ascendancy and then, just as you do, but before you have enough to time to actually build pressure or convert it into points, the refs decide that, in the best interests of the World Rugby League Entertainment Network that it would be best if we just stuck to the script.

Where the fuck is the BUNKER in all of this? There is clear evidence in restart of play situations that they have authority to rule or over-rule on, where they pick and choose which clear refereeing fuck ups they correct. Or incorrectly correct, to correct the script.

Please correct me if I am wrong. lol

I think Gould is on to something when he said the malaise within the Blues comes down to the leadership group.
Woods should be captaining NSW. He first half hit ups were inspirational. And you could see the team rally at those moments

It's easy to make few changes to your team when you have Smith, Cronk, Thurston, Slater et al. NSW haven't had a Smith, Thurston, or Cronk for over a decade.

Having said that, I think we should stick with the new players coming through. There's an opportunity to stick with the talent coming through, allow them to gain experience and gel, while the QLDers gradually retire one by one. There's no doubt they have already peaked.

Leilua is a supreme ball runner with great aggression, but i don't think his defence is up to Origin at the moment.

Even Ashley Klein and Jarrad maxwell have holier than thou attitudes. They think they are kingshit In every game. Don't get me started in those forward passes missed on the parra game and the incorrect Jackson sin binning and wrong strip penalty being called and Klein ignoring Graham. I dare these morons to piss someone off in a kings cross nightclub especially when they are drunk and could coward punch and King hit them without warning.

I hope he's fit. If they don't stick with the same team they'll lose

That's what I mean. There is no point making drastic changes just because they lost. Both games have been very close.

It has to be all or none. You cannot possibly say that some decisions are deserving of overturning when others are not and then spout the line that " Oh no we cannot possibly go back and have a look at that because we cannot legally rule on it" when at times they have. Case in point..the forward pass decision in our game( which they CANNOT rule on) compared to others in later games where the same opportunity arose to overrule. They did it illegally, against the rules in place and then justified their non action on the later incidents on those exact grounds.

Queensland were the better side, yes, but in saying that they received a more favourable ruling on all the fifty- fifty calls and some that were very obviously wrong.

 

[chris_e_fresh]

turned it on to hear crapping on about he tried to sign thurston blah blah blah FK OFF! turned it off
turned it back on at 8.15 ex[ecting the game to have started and some **** pretending to be the parks voice was crapping on
then billy slater then that other rejected from nsw was on the screen in the change rooms crapping on

channel 9 and foxsports need to start acting like espn and get none ex players to host these things as it has become a joke

i watched the first 4 mins then turned it on to a tv show we watch on wednesday nights.

also first time you will hear me say this i feel for souths losing reynolds as we lost morris last year to soo

 

[Kaz]

Robbie farah is an embarrassment. He's not even close to a cam smith. Ennis isn't really the answer next year but who else could we pick?

Going on form, Ennis should have been in the side for several years.

But no they keep picking Farah for some reason.

Gallen should have retired from rep football last year, but he is a greedy prick & only wants the $30,000 per Origin game.

 

[CroydonDog]

WE can blame Laurie Daley, the selectors, the refs, particular players...

But seriously, how many QLD players would you pick for Australia before you even came to considering a NSW player? Maybe 8? 10? They have all the personnel.

Of course that's no reason to give up, and a champion team will beat a team of champions in the right circumstances, but gee NSW will be pushing shit uphill for a while yet.

 

[Trendsetter]

After listening to Daley on NRL 360, I've given up all hope on NSW.

This **** has no fucking clue. I meet a lot of hopeless people in my line of work, people who really make you think about how they got this far in life let alone this far in their career, but Daley somehow makes these morons look like specialists in their field.
He clearly has no grasp of what origin means or what it takes to win.

I'd say he's just as arrogant as Des, but everytime he opens his mouth it convinces me more and more that Daley is really just clueless rather than stubborn.

Woods is kidding himself if he thinks people should show up to game 3. Just because Gallen finally decided to fuck off, a few years too late might I add, is no excuse for people to show up to support a bunch of undeserving pretenders get their ass beaten again.
The only time people should show up, is when Farrah and Daley announce they're fucking off too, just to give them the finger as they leave the field.
