State of Origin [Game II, 2021]

[bob dylan]

Said it before and I will say it again. Tino and Fifita are as big a pair of cats I have seen in the same side.

Both on big $$$ and both play their best footy against the bottom 4 sides.

It didn't take Tino long to lose the Bellamy polish.

So funny listening to Joey John’s giving passive aggressive shade on DCE. What a dick questioning his defence and with Slater saying Munster holds the key.

Muster was great last year but he was on one leg today and ummm look at the scoreboard. Zero points means zero in attack and nearly all the tries were scored down his side.

Yep….Johns judgement again affected by his penchant for substances. He also sounded like he was on something when commentating. DCE second highest tackler for QLD with 30 plus tackles. And Johns questions his defence? Fvcken idiot!

 

[madmax]

Was thinking the same thing in regards to DCE giving representative footy away, Cleary the best number 7 in the game.

DCE could well be made a scapegoat for this series loss.

100%……already copping it in the media!

 

[HoldenV8]

I had to ask Fox League who is Hooper's dealer and where can the public score some of what he's on.

Munster was apparently a 6/10 (which equates to being Queensland's best player under his ratings), while DCE was Mr Do Nothing and got 4.5.

 

[Cliffymagic]

With Grant and Ponga theyl be 100 % better in attack. But holy **** no one's going out score a team with teddy turbo and Mitchell in top form.

there's already a poll in the courier mail whether DCE should be dropped for the third game.

Very happy to wrap up the series.

Qld are never out of the game (usually) until the final siren goes.

so "woohoo" for that one! I didn't think Qld would be kept to nil, but there ya go.

Also...
who'd want to score a try in origin? You bust yer gut and your reward is to have 3 to 4 100kg happy players jump right up and land on ya!

I never thought Latrell would have scored that intercept try. He doesn't look like he has the...err shape to have outsprinted those far faster looking maroon shapes running at him.

Well done, played like a champ! I liked JAC's badge thump too.

Yay!

Now why hasn't my Qld supporting sibling emailed??

Wally Lewis and Langer at their best would not make QLD win a game this series. They have a shlt squad compared to NSW.

Yep & that nasally, limp, illiterate little worm Cronk blaming DCE for the loss!

I have to agree with John’s.DCE’s defence the last few years isn’t as affective as it was in the past,he doesn’t hit and stick as he once did.Age and the amount of games he has played is most likely the reason behind that.As for making 30+ tackles,that has to do with the opposition targeting him

 

[globaleagle]

Well, I tried to listen to the press conferences but my disdain for stupid questions won out and I stopped.

NSW:
good win guys...now lets talk about a sweep before its done hey?
Ok, now how important is it for origin that qld are competitive?
Ok, game 3 - sydney or full stadium...what's more important?

ugh


Qld:
so... y'all disappointed? what's most disappointing?
ok...now how about that guy who couldn't play? hey like yeah like hey like wha... like

ugh

Fair chance he’s playing his last series,given Sam Walker’s arrival and not many captains survive two Origin series defeats

 

[manlyfan76]

If the Qld selectors are blaming DCE then they won't be winning any games for a while.

 

[manlyfan76]

McCollough was terrible at nine. He took time away from the halves whenever they got close to the line, giving NSW time to shut them down

 

[Simonmyers11]

QLD looked horrible all over the park. Blaming dce is ridiculous. They had no strike from their full back, hooker was out of his depth, the back row were very soft and lacked go forward, no forwards bent the line. They just ran side ways or one out. Very easy for NSW to defend. Coached very poorly as well I thought, no game plan or structure.

NSW side best I have seen. Probably have the best 3-4 players in the game in that backline in career best form!

Yep, big reason their attack was so disjointed.

 

[manlyfan76]

Turbo about to overtake Alf Langer in points scored in origin.

But all the points were scored on Munsters side

 

[Tomay]

QLD had no go forward and no platform for halves or outside backs as a result. They need to fix their middle forwards.

When they got some position or a decent play the ball, the hooker's distribution was woeful and mis-timed.

It was great.

 

[Stewbojevic]

DCE would’ve had two try assists if Feldt could catch
