Sums it up. Limp dick performance for most of the match really.

4th straight series win to Queensland. Mister Wright blind drunk and hungover AWS. Surely he will call in sick tomorrow?

I feel Burgey will log on and have one almighty rant.

The NSW team, bar Watmough, Hayne and Gidley, can all hand in their man cards.

 

[Craig]

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yeah, it was piss weak. At least NSW teams last year and the year before had a crack when they were expected to lose. These guys have been awful. I was glad to see Watmough play so well. Hayne looks like he does it easy. Gidley tried hard too. Some ****ing dreadful defence in the first half.

Poore's hit on Crocker the high point of the night for me.

Yeah it wasn't a bad one. Barrett's hit on Inglis another high point for me.

Watmough's on Crocker wasn't bad either.

Don't think I have seen a worst NSW side in my whole life. Lucky the video ref was playing for NSW and Queensland had 6 fit players in the 2nd half. Most of the mistakes/poor choices were rookie mistakes. But that what happens when you pick a new side every match and have no one with any experience to lead the side around. Really lacked Jennings in the 2nd half when we needed some tries. Apart from Hayne there no one in that side that looked like scoring a try. Though there is no one to call up that anywhere near the attacking ability of those two. SOS to Gasnier, King and some new age surgery for Brett Stewart...

QUEENSLANDER!! Enjoyed the second half, we were excellent. How bad were NSW in the first half.

I wish I posted on here or even better went to a TAB but I actually picked the correct score of 24-14.

 

[Howsie]

Even with the refs on thier side NSW still couldn't win. Wallace was as useless as ever too.

Congrats to QLD.

Yeah NSW definitely had all of the reffing decisions this game. Kept them in the game. They never looked like taking full advantage of it unfortunately.

Hayne was the x-factor really. The only one that can really make something out of nothing for us atm.

Haha yeah they made the night a little more bearable.

 

[Redbacks]

Game lacked the usual buzz you get watching an Origin match. Standard seemed pretty poor from NSW. Couldn't hold the ball, tackle or make what looked like an adventurous play in the opening.

Home crowd was soft IMO

 

[Ausage]

That was the most useless, embarrassing pitiful pathetic waste of a performance of an overrated team (and considering some her predicted 80-0 that's saying something). I had to endure 2 hours of **** from QLD supporters surrounding me tonight and I bet you heartless wankers don't give a ****. I still flew the flag for that pathetic waste of a football team.

You pathetic ****s don't deserve my support. Some of that football was the softest, meekest, **** I could ever imagine. I wouldn't accept that crap from an under 8s team, let alone my SOO team.

Hayne is a deadset champion, and from someone who didn't like him before tonight that's saying something. He was the only one who even cared tonight. We let a completely beatable QLD side slip between our fingers. For shame NSWRL. For shame!!

Bellamy, if you can't inspire more passion than that then **** off wherever you came from.

Sorry for the language mods. After that insipid pathetic performance I really couldn't help myself.

HAHAHAHA missed this the first time. Absolutely classic stuff Vic

I need to ask something. I'm a Newcastle supporter so I'm also a fan of Gidley, now I thought he was NSW second/third best player on the ground (behind Hayne) because of his defense (try saving tackle against Inglis, long run/try saving tackle against Slater, fumble causing tackle against Crocker, kick chase tackle against Slater, and multiple other middle of the field tackles during his stint at hooker) and also the fact that he was a much better dummy half than Farrar.

But I've been browsing a few league websites and I see hundreds of posters saying Gidley was one of the worst on the field and was hopeless. I can understand any debate against his conversions (which were hard I guess, both missed were from the sideline) and his one kick, which was poor. But I just don't see what he did 'wrong' tbh.

Is it just me and my red and blue glasses stopping me from seeing what Gids do wrong or are these people being ****wits?

Think Gidley tried hard and was obviously upset about the loss. Think you've forgotten some things though such as his bad attempt at a tackle for QLDs first try.

Hayne was better and I would also say O'Donnell, Stewart, Watmough were all better then him and Weyman was probably too.

I can't see Peter Wallace or David Williams retaining their spots.

Jamie Soward could be in the mix, if NSW want to bring in an extra forward who can play both front row and back row I think Chris Houston has to be in with a chance.

The fact that his forwards didn't man up in the line didn't help him a great deal though. Had Inglis charging at him with noone in front of him.

 

[Johnners]

Thought Gidley was one of NSW's best, and was certainly the best in the backline after Hayne.

Awesome stuff from QLD though, 4th series in a row, and you'd be a fool to back against them sweeping this series. Thought Thurston was awesome (as usual), bloke certainly doesn't go missing in big games.

TBPH it would have taken a 20ft wall to stop Inglis from there. Not to mention that Kite was in a position to attempt a tackle but moved to the side leaving Gids to do it alone.
