Ivan is doing a good job there. If the Warriors had given him a longterm deal Nathan would be playing for us.....
@Donsteppa "hold your breath. Hold your breath. Hold your breath..."
Wish he'd hold his, for a week!
Weird game. Close scoreline, crazy finish, but never really hit any heights.
In hindsight Melbourne won it with their goal line defense in the first half. They presented Penrith with a heap of opportunities, but continued to hold them out.
For all the shit they cop, i thought Bellamy and Smith spoke really well after the game. Tamou's speech wasn't bad either.
@mariner4life I agree, hard to get excited as a spectacle as a neutral with one side so far in front for so long. Melbourne held their nerve on the big day, while Penrith panicked when behind and tried to play catch up football, even with plenty of time left.
Smith brilliant at controlling the game speed of his own team.
Both captains well spoken afterwards
Wonder if Gus if still on the mic in 2021 starts getting as one sided in his commentary about the warriors
@mariner4life I actually think Tamou’s speech was the best despite the fact he’s a turncoat piston wristed gibbon.
Pretty average game with an exciting finish.
9 streaming wasn’t too bad aside from the bloody ads.

Pretty hard to be a one club man in league and earn enough? Didn't think you were a Panthers supporter?

Hahah, yeah, I don't care what club he plays for, I hope we revoke his passport (along with Judas Taumalolo's).
Steve Hansen will help the NRL team the bulldogs next year.. didn't see that coming

Is he going to use his experience as a copper to keep the doggies out of the grasp of the po po?
@ACT-Crusader Obviously didn't get an offer to join the fox sports team then....

For $150K I’m not sure Benji will rock up to one training let alone a game!
Still Red vs blue but slightly less feral than the election?
Kicks off soon in front of a bloke and his dog as spectators
Apologies, a decent crowd . I probably know more names in the stands than in the Queensland team
on my god. everything in this game - "thats an Origin tackle", "thats an Origin try", "thats reward (a try) for back to back to back sets of 6 on defence" - fuck. its the same game as the final, as any international, its not any different for christ sake
NSW very committed to one out running in this half. Queensland doing much more with the ball. Good try.

If there was a drinking game for every time one of those happened, you'd die
This is one of the most un-Origin games I’ve ever watched. It’s got about as much feeling as a city country game.
That said as an 8 year Queenslander I can say with all honestly I don’t know who the fuck any of you fluffybunnies are but fuck the nsw fluffybunnies right in the ass.

By half time!
Good game though
Great match. Gagai grows an extra set of legs for origin and brimson outplayed tedesco. NSW halves were too easily contained which made the difference to me
Queenslander!!!
DCE was shit hot for once. Qld hung in there to half time, then rinced them in the 2nd 40.
Cody walker looked like he was the guy that might steal it, but Qld hang on.
Forgot this was even on having been watching 18 hours of US election coverage...
Just caught up with it not knowing the result and it didn’t really have the origin feel to it - lacking atmosphere, edginess, big moments.
That finish was a bit dodgy with the Kaufusi binning and him not walking off and time off not coming straight away. The ref not alert to that 5 man tackle/pile on at the end either.

Dude, get a life
( says MN5 after waking up and logging straight onto the fern )
@Paekakboyz repeat the word "origin" 78 times and you're all caught up.
Gould even used it as a verb!
Was Gould still bitching about the final?
...
Despite the scoreline and the full time siren going, Gus says the Blues are still actually on top.
NSW Are Still On Top Here Explains Gus
WENDELL HUSSEY | Cadet | CONTACT
The Blues are on top here, Gus Gould has just revealed.
This comes after 80 minutes of average football where Queensland have actually won 18-14.
Despite the scoreline and the full time siren going, Gus says the Blues are actually on top.
“They’ve got all the momentum, this bodes perfectly.”
“If not for this match, the series at the least.”
“The Blues are all over them.”
Queensland missing too many 1 on 1 tackles in their 20 so far in Origin II. Queensland scored the first try, but 18 unanswered points to NSW going into half time has it on track for a cricket score, barring a half time miracle from Wayne Bennett.
@Donsteppa Phil Gould will come out shortly and say that he feels QLD is on top here, despite the scoreline.
Game missing something. Origin intensity maybe. Bring back the biff
@westcoastie is there an origin game on?
