Kinda sums up the feeling I've had for orjin this year and this week. Been a bit meh for me. Despite the massive hype from the various television outlets.
Great game so far though
Game 1 of this series was one of the best league games I've watched for a very long time, and I watch a bit of league.
I don't watch much league but am enjoying this

Thought Qld was screwed after game one, but NSW choke again.
Fark Billy Slater must be a midget. Half a head shorter than Lockyer who is pretty stunted.

It's almost as though they were resigned to losing the 3rd game after the massive choke in the 2nd where they were all over Qld. They were so flat during the 1st half.

Did find this a bit funny , with how the NSW fans went early after game 1 , start of a new dynasty some even said
-
Blues had zero energy and we limp as fuck. Agree with you @akan004, seemed like they ran out expecting to lose.
Scoreline could have been a hell of a lot worse - so the blues got somewhat lucky there.
Back to the drawing board for Laurie, some work to do on mental toughness from the looks of it. Trust me, I'm a Warriors supporter, so I know all about lack of bottle!!

holy shit that was awesome.
I wasn't confident heading in to last night. NSW looked so good for the first game and a half. I thought Qld had used all their "Queensland Spirit" coming back to win game two. No JT. A 3rd halves combination. A bunch of noobs everywhere. And the best NSW team i have seen in years, unchanged through 3 games. What the fuck do i know?
Qld forwards fly out of the gate, Cam Smith is running from dummy half, Billy Slater is playing his best game in years, Cronk is directing traffic, and all the noobs have to do is catch the ball. It should have been over by half time, but shit there were some butchered tries in that first half (Cam Smith's fuck up the worst, that was Jarryd Hayne-esque).
Then they bomb another one to start the 2nd half. And NSW score, and then up the pressure i thought that was it. But no, hello Cameron Munster. Fucking smashed them, and a whole new bunch of Blues have mental scars to overcome.
Really, how can i over-rate an Origin side with Mitchel Pearce in it?
For Qld, Napa and Wallace were huge, and will be the props for Qld for ages. Gillett was the best backrower in the game, and that's a big result given the names on the park. McGuire is really effective when he is on. Cronk and Munster are a great balance in the halves (helped out by Smith jumping in to first receiver). Chambers and Gagai threatened constantly. But the two best guys on the park were Smith and Slater. Big game players stepping up again to crush their old rivals. There will be a bunch of Blues players just praying they retire.
For the Blues, is Aaron Woods the most over-rated player in the game? He has had 15 good minutes in the series. Fifita was targeted, and so had zero impact. But they got nothing on attack out of their pack except some big charges by Frizell. Off the back of that their backs couldn't do shit, but Mitchell Pearce is a shit Origin player, and was at fault for a couple of tries, while offering fuck all on attack or in the kicking game.
11 in 12 years. Long may it continue

Bit of a masterstroke going for Munster over some of the bigger names like DCE ,
Already plays with the rest of the spine so little readjustment needed , just more of the same shit they do every week
-
@Stargazer yeah i read that a couple of days ago. The "All Star" game getting the same fate.
-
I have no idea what Laurie Daley said in the sheds at halftime of Game 2 but NSW weren't the same afterwards.
This series should have been a canter for the Blues but they choked in the home straight against a so-so Queensland side (compared to previous years).
The fact that one Sydney journo compared Mitchell Pearce to Darren Lockyer at the start of the series is just foolish. -
@Sneakdefreak I'm just going to assume that was Rothfield?

It's quite an incredible turnaround. After the first game everyone was talking about a new Blues dynasty and the mood in Qld was basically that the good times were over. I heard Kevi Walters on the radio and he sounded like a broken man. Smith also looked like he wanted to shoot himself after the first game.
As if it wasn't already hard enough being a cockroach...
