2020 Origin Series

Capewell didn’t drop the ball cold but Phil looked much better in the second half. But Paul Kent is the most opinionated BLoser in history. The NSWailers won penalties and re-starts so the ref wasn’t their problem and Kaufusi was obviously completely disoriented and couldn’t find his way off the field ... highlight of the game after AJ’s try.

Ps. I can nearly not quite but nearly forgive the Long-necked traitor DCE on his game ... nearly I said.

True.

I'd say Val comes in for Sami in game 2 anyway.
 
You beauty. I really enjoyed that game. And well done for the Maroons for not losing their **** when being down 10-0 at half time. bennet really lived up to his reputation here.

I cheered so hard through the game. Of course screaming "Drop it!" on kick off. I was delighted to see that actually happen. And I was even saying at the end "Hold him down! #### the penalty or sin bin!" And then that happened. I'm not usually so bloodthirsty.

Loved the Queensland kit. Vibrant maroon. Clean. No fuss. And something approximating a collar. NSW, WTF are you doing? Reminds me of their mid 90s abominations.
 
I thought Sami's D for that last try was shocking tbh. Has barely done anything in attack. Coates looks made for Origin, Sami just looks lost.
 
I shouldn't really bag our blokes that make rep footy but I was staggered to think that Sami will go down as an Origin player. Even more staggered now.
As for Tino, the game was gone by the time he was binned and I was sort of pleased that a young bloke like him didn't back off. Sends a message.
 
Tino’s workrate is insane he had 10 runs in the first 14 minutes of the game sometimes 2 a set, and despite only playing 44 minutes had the most metres of any QLD forward. I truly think he’ll go down as a top 5 Titans signing of all time
 
Sami out is a relief and MoFo didn't really get into it so his demotion is a warning shot that club form doesn't necessarily translate into SOO greatness.For sure Bennett is just messing around and will send Holmes to the wing where he belongs and put Allan where he will at least hold his own. The big surprise is Capewell who really got exposed.

I honestly think you're being a bit harsh on Moe. Came on when QLD was under the pump and spent most of his time out there tackling...21 tackles 0 missed. Felt sorry for the poor bastard.

Collins really proved me wrong though, thought he's been great off the bench for QLD so far.

Winners are grinners can be NSWailers ... at the 40th anniversary of when I took some random sheila to watch Artie do his thing I rejoice in the rollercoaster that Origin provides every year. As much as I hate Bennett I can’t deny his ability and we can all see that Kevvie will provide plenty of wins for us in the M1 derbies.

@101 no disrespect to Mo but Origin will find you out ... I hope he got a lot from the experience because he now has Tino and potentially Difita in front of him.
 
What an amazing game. The Maroons showed true grit and tremendous defence. When the full time whistle blew all the celebrations were right in from of my parents.

I'm a frequent critic of Bennett but he certainly lived up to and expanded his reputation last night.

And ZERO Broncos in the Maroons. I never thought I'd see it happen.

Harry Grant is a freak. Too bad we couldn't have him on the field at the same time as AJ. But next year...
