Origin II - 2024

[Waz13]

Ola 19
Jake 32

And Yeo about 65mins!

Hammer's defence tonight reminded me of his embarrassing performance at centre against NZ in the Pacific Championships Final last year.

Great attacking player, maybe the best in the NRL right now with ball in hand. But he is Australia's modern Martin Offiah. Blistering speed, and knows it. A lethal try scorer ... but don't ask him to actually defend, especially without help from a few team mates.

Holmes also got shown up too, I thought he was awful.

 

[Will on the hill]

Yeah but with NSW so far ahead tonight there was literally no excuse for keeping his captain on the bench again until about the 74th minute.

Game 1 could be excused for the need to have more mobile forwards out on the edge and swapping with the middles. Jake is not a mobile forward, he's a plodder. But with NSW dominating tonight there really was no excuse for leaving him on the bench for so long ... again.

NSW doesn't need him, Manly desperately do. Please Madge, stop messing with his head and give him back.

Moses MOM in my opinion.

I would of given it to Crichton, with Moses a close second and Hass breathing down both their necks.

We bashed him.

Gus was very good, though Moses for me got Martin over when we needed it with all that ball, his kicking game was brilliant.

Best run of the game was Spencer steamed through the middle..

Get smashed in the middle and your edges struggle.

Win the middle and your edges look like heroes.

I thought Moses should of played game 1, he had one run and fitness wouldn’t of been a worry.

For me Gus just owned them, it’s a real shame he wasn’t interested in playing for us. Hard to see the roosters not making it to the big dance this year, would like to see our backline behind a pack like that.

Yeh when a halve has a decent adge forward next to them they shine.

DCE has Guaca and Brooks well he needs one on the left for me..

Agreed. Other than Hammer's try, Crichton and Latrell made the Qld centres look like reserve graders still miles away from playing firsts tonight.

I'd give that a like but for one thing. I've been around the block a few times and have seen far too many middles dominate only to be let down by their edges. Of course, that didn't happen tonight. NSW were dominant all over the park, no if's or but's.

Valentine Holmes (QLD) - Grade 1 Careless High Tackle on P Haas (18m)
7-10% of match fee

Latrell Mitchell (NSW) - Grade 1 Careless High Tackle on X Coates (43m)
7-10% of match fee

Liam Martin (NSW) - Grade 1 Dangerous Contact on D Cherry-Evans (66m)
7-10% of match fee

Nothing against Martin he was fantastic, but how did Alioia get a week for Johnson kicking him???

Yeah, I'd been hoping we would make a play for him for years now, especially given the Roosters were always seemingly on the hunt for an "upgrade". He could really transform our pack, BK style. But as you said, he doesn't want to come to Manly.

Very Bk like, it’s a real shame, in career best form, physically brutal and structurally sound, Roosters were lucky Fifita stayed put.

 

[MW66]

How do we know Angus C doesn't want to come to Manly? Haven't seen anything so just curious.
