Kaufusi and Haas forced changes to both sides, but the success of the cowboys has seen players filled from their team in either side. Probably lucky the bye comes for them this week from an NRL perspective.
Ardie knows what's up
The biggest game of the week is still, fuck probably 6 hours away by the time we get through all the pregame bullshit.
No way Qld overcomes the loss of Munster, leaving DCE to win us the game. Someone in the backs would have to play a fucking blinder, along with a couple of forwards.
Munster and Cotter were Qld's best players in G1, and they are gone.
Meanwhile NSW are packed with Panthers, and those fluffybunnies never ever get hurt. So their most important players are all there. Cleary and Burton will kick Qld to death, they'll win the territory battle by fuckloads, and at one point score a quick run of tries to win by about 16.
Fuck you cleary you suspiciously pimply and wide jawed fuck.
Oh, and Jerome Luia will do fuck all for most of the game, but still celebrate hardest and mouth off the absolute most because he is a fuckhead.

you just don't "get" origin
we are always the underdog. always
sure, our team may at one point have had peak Slater, Inglis, Thurston, Lockyer, Smith, Petro, Price et al
but we were fucking underdogs mate. Qld spirit won that.
deadset

nah you just always on origin spirits .. bundy and brown tap water XXXX
I think this will be a brutal encounter, on paper you would think the Blues get up, but that never translates in Origin. Blues to squash some cane toads but not by as much as we think.
I would be interested to have a rugby union ref watch the game and find how many cards they could dish out applying some unions laws, I suspect it would finish as a game of sevens at best
Strap in sports fans
This is it. The decider. The greatest show on turf. The crucible. At the home of origin. You will not see better than this.
This is what it means to be a Queenslander etc
Also crypto and share trading app ads are worse than fucking sportsbet
Even with Jack Bauer
Watching the decider tonight after Ardie's comments. Haven't watched or followed league in yonks but used to be an avid NSW fan as I was obsessed with the Panthers back in the day. Are there any genuine GOATs playing? You know like the Filters, Malinga's, Johns etc of the good old days. Or nobody that stands out like those guys did?

Swinging arm to the head and just on report. So different.

That's a deadset red in union. And if not the fans would be calling for the refs head. I like the report system.

Had a few Carltons or Tooheys?
Maybe a few, can't watch origin sober!!

He fell in to it!!!!
Shouldn't have even been a penalty
@Crazy-Horse Yup Fa'asuamaleaui and Papali'i starting to get targetted in the middle.
Cook could be a big player with his speed as this game comes on when he comes off the bench.

He is still young but Clearly will be likely in GOAT territory by the time he finishes, he has already achieved many goals and isn't 25. Munster (QLD) not playing could arguably be one too. A handful in the next wave below category maybe and then the rest

Tedesco (the Blues fullback) is probably in the top 3 fullbacks I’ve ever seen. He’s a gun.
NSW pressure pumping Qld
Same as last game, no fucking errors
58% of the ball
Completed 16 of 17 sets
No respite for Qld
This will blow out unless Qld can find a source of inspiration
Poor by Hunt. In that situation no need to make that pass. A good scoring opportunity and field position gone begging.
