[dowdz]

Let's just beat the bloody Titans.

A Qld trademark, trust me haha

I've long seen Adelaide's major sporting venue's empty quickly when the home team is losing. Home fans never want to stick around after a loss. But then, who can blame them??

 

[The '47ers]

Good on ya Jake 👏🏻🏆

 

[HoldenV8]

Well done Jake. You of all people deserve this one.

 

[LeonardCohen]

I tend to agree. TBF, I thought he was playing injured. I also can’t fault his defensive desire tonight. He was actually working hard to be where the ball was and put his body in there.

Yeah it looked like he was carrying something but I am yet to see him step up in big games. He cost Brisbane the GF last year by over chasing on the Cleary try that sealed the game.

Haumole unsighted still during the shield presentation. Still banned from the field?

****en hope they don’t go crazy. We need him badly.

That was highly enjoyable

It is only NSW that can have me abusing DCE and cheering for Moses

 

[JBW]

Ola, would he be the first player suspended from the grand stand?

Great game, made me like Origin again...hope Jake and DCE never get chosen again.

I know I agree
2-3 weeks I think

Haumole Olakau’atu forced to watch his teammates lift the shield from the tunnel after being dismissed for getting involved in the brawl before half time. Harsh?

I notice in the replay of that scuffle that the Bulldogs player Matt Burton is more involved in the scuffle than Guac.

I would have thought Guacs issue is that he goes on the playing field.

 

[The '47ers]

Are we mentioning Murray?
Wonder what Anusley will come up with there!

If they're going to suspend Haumole, they'll also have to suspend Murray and Nanai (for his Sam Thaiday impersonation), and probably Matt Burton. Fingers crossed they'll invoke the special "But it's Origin" rules and that will be the end of that.

Surely/hopefully they only fine him. Suspending him penalises Manly and how is that fair...

I agree.

However only Haumole can be to blame there for getting involved. It’s not like the fight came to him, he actively went into the scuffle. I’m furious at him.
