So just to double check, one team won game 1, then the other team won game 2, and this is the decider?
At least I know the game is on this week, I only found out about game 1 when the comedian at the show mentioned it, and didn't realise game 2 was on until people were discussing it the next day, although I should have figured it out because I saw Fletch in Barangaroo surrounded by a bunch of plastic lipped slappers boarding a cruise boat.
Just watched origin build up for the first time in many a year.
I am now officially dumber than I was 30 minutes ago.
Lol how's the grub work from maroon 16? Guy knocked out on the deck and he goes the post contact carry on!
Brutal first 20 minutes, love that crowd. Can’t see Teddy passing the HIA. Not the highest quality game but entertaining in its aggressiveness so far
12-6 to the two headed cane toads at half time. Looking the most likely in the second quarter. Munster and Grant starting to take control on top of Qld impressive defence.
NSW not dead yet, but need some spark for sure
@mariner4life said in NRL 2020:
@Nepia New South Wales have just never got Origin
We only care that it upsets Queensland
If Queensland could catch in that corner in either half, it would be 18 - 0 at this stage rather than 12 - 6.
@ACT-Crusader said in NRL 2020:
Phil Gould hilarious stuff.
NSW hot on attack and Qld winger YC
That incessant repeating himself is too much for me.
Cool finish
Queens land certainly deserved it tonight but how was that not a penalty try. Harry grant is a star and NSW were lost without their star Tedesco
Well that was an ORIGIN win!!!
Not sure how they didn't award the penalty try - the Bunker dudes aren't at the ground are they?
Just to be clear, I'm in the pox on both your houses camp. 
Fuck off penalty try you bunch of Goulds
QUENSLANDAAAA!!
Origin win that. If Val Holmes could catch it's a hiding
Great win for Qld, young fullas playing great. But it needs to be said, I think Papali's knee wins that game
Bloody good game. We're really running out of footy now
Josh Addo Carr is the fastest man on the planet.
And repeat that 20 times.
Fark Gould is a piston wristed gibbon.
Bloody good win. No flies on that Bennett. Now retire now you cranky old salamander.

But who would he get cranky with?
No media in The Sunset Village For Grumpy Old fluffybunnies
Yes he's a grumpy old fluffybunny. Yes I'm not his biggest fan
But
I reckon he genuinely loves his players. And his players know that, and play for him. He's a relationship coach now, and he.might be the best ever.
Last night just showed everything in league is your forwards.
Last wednesday the NSW forwards rolled Qld, and playing off the front foot Cook, Cleary and Walker looked a million bucks as they rean around doing pretty much what ever they wanted.
Last night was the complete opposite up front, and so it was DCE, Munster and even Friend running amok. Grant got a dream introduction.
@mariner4life Dont rule out the impact of losing Munster in game 2 and Tedesco in game 3, but forwards certainly set the tone
also, surely last night will push Cam Smith to retire
Or, if the Storm are the organisation i think they are, for them to quietly tell him it's time to finish up and move on
I think I read he has brought property on the Goldie, I suspect given he hasn't called time and refenced Slater and Thurston as knowing when their body was ready, I think he may go around again.. but perhaps one year somewhere..maybe with the Titans

I think he has already made a statement he wont play on at the storm , doesnt want to stand in the way of grant and Brandan Smith any longer , ,
Some are reading into it ,there is the possibility he may play a season somewhere else , but its hard to imagine that
@kiwiinmelb just say it then you attention seeking fluffybunny
you can't on one hand keep pushing the line you don't do anything for the attention or the spotlight
and then on the other hand:
release a book while you are still playing
have that book serialised and drip fed through the media
make ambiguous statements about your future over and over again

im looking forward to seeing Bellamy coach post Smith Cronk slater , now its done and dusted ,
Although he has assembled a pretty good spine in Grant/Bsmith , Hughes -Munster , papenhuyzen anyway
be interesting to see if its business as usual

Smith is the master on-field general who dictates the tempo of games. His loss will change everything.
But the talent there is still as good as anyone else. Even Smith-less they'll be near the top of the betting for next year.
Didn’t see this coming, warriors sign Bayley Sironen who was released by South’s, he was actually pretty good this year and not a bad acquisition
@bayimports what position?
:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: @bayimports said in NRL 2020:
Second row, but has some skills, not just a standard hit up merchant.
Have the Warriors been confirmed as being based in Aussie next year as well?
What do I care about the Aussie Warriors anymore, I Won’t have Kayo now the rugby is on Stan and 9 never play them so not like I’ll get to seem them anyway.

Not yet, I believe we won’t know for a while.

Also I've done a google search on Sironen and I can't find any instances of spousal abuse, trouble with the law, betting scandals etc ... are you sure we've contracted him?

His dad (I assume he's Paul's son) was a machine
@bayimports said in NRL 2020:
@canefan yes, son of "Siro", younger brother of Curtis
Not as big as his old man but I’d say more skilful than him. Siro was a man mountain in league.
