Why tf did he do that? Sack Green now. This is the worst Maroons side I’ve ever seen.
-
That went well.

How talented is Feldt?

The only time I give a shit about league any more is origin. Looks like that will evaporate as well. Qld are an absolute shambles.

As a Balmain supporter, this has reignited my interest.

Was that Fatty Vautin who said "they might as well cancel the third game"?

At the end of the day what do you expect? TT vs Capewell is like a Ferrari vs a farking Datsun. Mitchell made GayGuy his slave gimp.

@antipodean yup haha. he didn't sound happy.

One of the more boring Origins you will ever watch.
Qld are absolutely awful. And NSW didn't even bother getting out of 2nd gear. Bit.of low level grub acts and some pushing all we had to show for it. Oh and as good a rugby try as you will ever see called back for a rule I didn't even know.
Not a single Qld player beat his opponent. And there were guys I didn't even know played. I saw fifita in the handshakes?? I don't recall hearing his name once. I thought he was out.
At least in game 1 we got to see NSW in full flight. This had nothing.

What are the TV ratings for SOO like these days? Probably not so high in Qld right now.
I haven't given a toss about watching it this century.
Don't know about TV ratings, but anecdotally, calls for service at work drop right off while the game is on and pick up again straight after. This suggests to me plenty of people are still watching it (in Brisbane at least).

On sober reflection, Qld are fucked for the foreseeable future. NSW are winning these games because they are faster than Qld. They have pace and power everywhere out wide. The NSW forwards are just doing basic shit through the middle (although a couple of ball playing forwards does help), they have Tedesco sniffing around the middle dragging defenders in, and then it's a shift, and one of those big fast fuckers gets outside his man and it's over. The additional pace helps them on defense as well (also helped by Qld throwing fuck all at them)
Qld actually did create opportunities down the left, but most of them died with Capewell because he is a 2nd rower stuck at centre and is too fucking slow. Also it appears he cannot pass. Holmes isn't quick enough (or good enough), Feldt is 2-3 years past his best, and was never quick to begin with.
Qld are also poorly coached, find a game plan hat suits your players, or pick players for a game plan. What they have at the moment is just nothing.
NSW are going to win Game 3 by a similar margin, and they are going to set all sorts of margin records in a series where they probably won't even get a home game.
