suddenly i want to lick a fiat

Even when we're played off the park we cant help but lead

Little wonder we're smug pricks

Haha, was thinking the same thing. Only NSW can dominate the half and still be behind. Not kicking straight to Slater etc would also be good.

I want us to win so Mal has another hissy fit and writes a column that reads like it's ghost written by a 12 year old girl, but we need to actually score points when we're on top first.

[Spikey]

he has the courage

 

[Son Of Coco]

Hahahahahhahaha. Beautiful...another one please. I'm still nervous.

 

[uvelocity]

vitstl.

 

[uvelocity]

**** YES.z

 

[Son Of Coco]

Ahhhh, nice to get one back against the famous QLD Spirit.

Hopefully the last game isn't 20-0 after 20 minutes like it was last year.

No expert on league rules but how does Hayne get away with dropping the ball cold without it being called back for a knock-on

It used to be irrelevant whether it fell on his foot as a result (unintentional kick iirc) so they must have changed the rules

 

[Johnners]

Because Thurston raked it I'm guessing. Really didn't get some of those calls tonight, I thought the muffed "try" from Taylor was a tate knock-on, and then when Jennings knocked it out from Tates hands I assumed it should've been a drop-out.

I thought it was going to be called a knock on too to be honest. I thought it was cause Thurston may have raked it too, but I don't know...makes up for Origin 1

Definitely not a rake as Thurston's hands were nowhere near it - Hayne simply dropped it

Also thought the same about Jennings - he definitely raked it so should have been a line drop out

bird whut?

 

[Son Of Coco]

On another note, thought Carney did alright tonight.

Now we just need to learn not to kick it straight to Billy ****ing Slater all night...

 

[NUFAN]

Did Hayne's drop touch Thurston? If so, it should be a knock on. If not and he kicked it, it's a try.

It was a great game, QLD just dropped the ball at crucial times. Bloody Hodges continues to frustrate the hell out of me playing Origin.

Bird named MoTM, I would have given it to Farah.

 

[Johnners]

Hodges did his job defensively, but was rubbish with ball in hand. Can't remember him ever having a good game in a QLD jersey tbh

Taylor was absolute rubbish though, and it was far and away Thurstons worst game for QLD.

 

[Ausage]

Don't give a **** about anything. We won, nom it toads.

 

[Son Of Coco]

I have no doubt it'll be pointed out in The Courier Mail tomorrow that as QLD only scored their tries off kicks they lacked penetration in attack and were far and away the worst team...am looking forward to an outburst of sooking from Big Mal after Game 3 regardless of the result too.

well done to ten foot grant too

 

[Johnners]

Also didn't get wtf happened with the Tate/Hayne kick return in the first half. Tate was tackled, then Hayne tried again to drag him into touch, and then Tate just hopped up and ran another 5 metres...did they just decided that 2 wrongs made it a right and left it at that :S
