State of Origin.
Who's watching? Possibly the only "big game" to regularly live up to the hype. KO in 20mins.

Re: State of Origin.
Cronk will be a loss for QLD if he stays off. NSW seem to have stemmed the tide for now. But yes it looks like an uphill task for the blues - but when is it any other way?

For the past while anyway, QLD are on a roll, its as much a mental block for NSW as anything now.Lamb of BOD wrote:Cronk will be a loss for QLD if he stays off. NSW seem to have stemmed the tide for now. But yes it looks like an uphill task for the blues - but when is it any other way?

Re: State of Origin.
If you have Jarryd Hayne on your team, anything is possible. What a cracking try he's just scored, and was instrumental in their first.
Poor miss on the conversion

Re: State of Origin.
That was never a knock on. I hope it doesn't go on to hurt NSW

Re: State of Origin.
Indeed. A nailbiter to end a thrilling match. Some of the best rugby you'll ever see gets played in Origin matches.leinster4life13 wrote:what a finish

Completely agree, for whatever reason very few rugby finals, WC,HC etc match up to Origin.Lamb of BOD wrote:Indeed. A nailbiter to end a thrilling match. Some of the best rugby you'll ever see gets played in Origin matches.leinster4life13 wrote:what a finish

Re: State of Origin.
Apart from the skill levels - which are tremendous - I just have to applaud the fitness levels of both teams. I have no notion how they keep going for 80 mins at that pace. Maybe rugby union could have a look at rolling interchanges

Re: State of Origin.
If it made for games as fast paced and entertaining as the one we watched earlier, I;d be all for it.
Re: State of Origin.
My uncle's local team is the Eels. I try to keep an eye on Hayne. When I was watching him he could do something phenomenal then something awful within 5 minutes. A bit like Quade Cooper in that regard.Lamb of BOD wrote:If you have Jarryd Hayne on your team, anything is possible. What a cracking try he's just scored, and was instrumental in their first.

Is possibly more consistent now. Massively talented though.

Re: State of Origin.
Bad weekend for Queensland. Inglis has just gone down in the Souths v Warriors game, to add to a mounting injury list that includes Cronk, Cherry-Ellis and Billy Slater already
