SOO 2

Same old story. Nsw cant find the outside backs

 

[HappilyManly]

Walker looking good nice to see them using him on both sides

His 2 consecutive penalties walked Qld into position for a penalty kick

 

[eggson]

Morony

 

[Turbo]

His 2 consecutive penalties walked Qld into position for a penalty kick

The first wasn't a penalty he was holding his mark and the 2nd was harsh also.

 

[Scorpio]

His 2 consecutive penalties walked Qld into position for a penalty kick

They were 50/50 calls.

There were several times Queensland weren't penalised for doing exactly what Walker did.

He has been okay and has been doing a lot of tackling as well.

NSW halves need to step up here... a bit too quiet and a few errors in them so far. Reynolds has had a couple of good 40-20 opps and missed both, along with a poor goal line defensive read. Maloney trying hard, but a few costly errors so far... And as I type Maloney throws it over the sideline to add to his other 2 or 3 ****-ups so far.

Sorry, but that's BS. His first was crowding all day everyday. I called it before the ref blew it.

Check the match stats - it was a penalty

Close game, Jennings with a nice try assist for Gagai the only difference.

Just the myth about the NSW forward intensity for game 2...
Actually, in fairness, a few of them are having a hell of a game, but they are being let down by a few doing not so well.

 

[HappilyManly]

Maloney has killed two attacking moves.

Reynolds had two grubbers go into touch and he is much too small in defense.

Hope J Bird replaces him in the second half

 

[Simonmyers11]

No coincidence we haven't won a series since andrew johns. Our halves are crap. They are always crap. So is the coach. They need barret. He has some great attacking set plays.

 

[EagleFlys]

3 myths in this game.

Laurie Daley can coach.
Bozo can select. (hello Manly)
Forwards win SOO.

NSW backs are pathetic and should all be replaced.

 

[wedgetail eagle]

How about Ingis's look of righteous indignation when he sees something he doesn't like.
It's State of Origin, FFS !

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Pretty much all going to the QLD plan.

They are masters at not playing well but not panicking as a result , they just hold on and bang something goes their way!

How many times have we seen that in the last 11 years??

I predicted 24 -10 to QLD prior to the game and I'll stick with that.

Haha mate it wasn't his fault the refs have favouritism

 

[HoldenV8]

Frizell's chase on Gagai was very Beaver like and if Cronk hadn't actually held him back initially he probably would have caught him rather than just managing the ankle tap.

Yes Walker gave away 2 early penalties, but both were 50/50 calls. Otherwise he's actually been good and looking to get involved.

Give the Barrett bashing a rest it's boring this is an origin thread!
