I wasn’t a critic of the selection as there aren’t many people that have experienced origin first hand like Billy. What did tonight actually prove though? Everybody already said that it would pay off if there was an injury. Considering it was 12 vs 13, I don’t think QLD were as dominant as they usually are and they seemed to rely on blues fatigue to get points

[@NoEvidenceForGod]

How was it genius? Foul play triggered the 18th man so either way Cobbo would've been there to cover given Slater would've had him as 18th were he not on the bench. If it wasn't foul play however, then you could say he made a clutch call in having Cobbo on the bench.

[@charleshillarynalong8736]

​​@@NoEvidenceForGod Past two Origin series has seen outside backs going down due to injury and no backline to cover for those loss.He learned from the past series and made that decision to put an outside back on the bench(Cobbo). No other Origin coach has done what Billy did. The injury made Billy use his 18th(another forward)man. Thats Genious. So many critics on the lead up to game one.

[@bwgcolman8458]

They look good on paper but not on the field 😂😂😂

[@andrewbaggett8664]

I'd go for: Edwards, To'o, Mitchell, Crichton S, Lomax, Luai, Moses, Trebojevic, Robson, Haas, Martin, Crichton A, Yeo. Bench: Leniu, Olaukau’atu, Kenny, Burton That is assuming Cam Murray isn't available. If he is then I'd have him in for Olaukau'atu (Murray starting with A Crichton on the bench).

[@absoluteclutch4585]

Nah Crichton was awful. Olakautu is more damaging on the right and even if Murray is fit Ola should have the bench spot ahead of Crichton. Teddy was horrific and can't wait for Edwards to get the #1 spot.

[@andrewbaggett8664]

@@absoluteclutch4585 both him and Martin didn't have the best time in attack I agree 100%. I thought the transfer to them both from Robson and Hynes was very pedestrian, the amount of times Luai stepped on the inside because of the slow transfer was very high. Crichton and Martin needed bringing on and, especially Crichton, feeding early to get the most from them (same happened with Olaukau'atu when he came on, the halves didn't get him on a roll so he looked poor in attack).

[@absoluteclutch4585]

@andrewbaggett8664 Hynes was horrible at directing any attack and practically had a non-existent kicking game. He was always back pedalling and wasn't confident in anything. I do feel for him cause Mag and the whole squad were in a panicked state after the send off but we had plenty of the ball in QLD's red zone and Hynes didn't take control. That's why Moses and Edwards will be so crucial to our spine because they're confident and have much better game management under pressure. Teddy butchered so many attacking options and was just loosely passing to no one on the outside edges whilst also having a poor defensive performance. I'd have the following changes; Edwards, To'o, Critta, Burton, Lomax, Luai, Moses, Jurbo, Robson, Haas, Martin, Ola, Murray Bench; Stefano, Api, Mitchell, Leniu Even if Murray isn't fit Mcinnes just gets that spot. We don't need Yeo's ball playing at all and Burton/Robson could easily come off bench.

[@andrewbaggett8664]

I thought Yeo was one of the pick of the NSW forwards. He seemed the one QLD found most hard to bring down. Looking back at my selection, I would probably go Api if Kenny was there (and start Kenny). Robson was only there for his defence and that he could do 80. What about starting Kenny and then bringing Api on once the physicality and energy dropped off a bit (plus Kenny could cover the middle and outside forwards)

[@parkerklarke9150]

[@turrafirmaguitarchannel]

Good to see this League content on KZbin.

[@legendsydney5569]

As a mutual sport fan, this game was such a dissapointment (i stopped watching after half time). Let me put another propective forward to the sending off. Firstly was it dangerous - yes, did he derserve a send off - probably, did it effect the end result, we will never know! The send off rule is what needs to be changed. You are penalising the fans and the sponsors for not having a an even playing field. I watch many American sports like the NFL, NBA, NHL they have billions of dollars invested in these games, they do use player send offs (ejections) but the team can replace the player. The player's team that gets ejected is penalised, the player is ejected but the game continues with even number of players. NRL and rughby uniion need to adapt to these changes or fans will not continue to watch an uneven game. At the end of the day it is a business and not sports, you need to market your product so fans & sponsors get their ROI or you will loose both. Thoughts?

Selfish play by sualilii. His reckless and careless tackle deserved a send off. He took Walsh's head off, and nsw were targeting walsh, so they have to be prepared to hurt him legally, not illegally.

@@UhtredKing have to agree. he was the one guy i was worried about.

[@Scooty_Scooty]

He might of been one of the better players but it doesn't change the fact his last 4 games for NSW have all been losses. Moses into 7 Keary to 6 if Burton is put at center, if Latrell comes in to center then Burton to 6.

[@movieklump]

Gee that game was worth ruining the NRL for six weeks. What a joke. If you want to watch this manufactured advertising con put it on at the end of the year so true NRL fans don't have to watch the NRL splutter into the finals every year.

Should've had 'one look' Casey in the bunker or wearing the 7 jersey.

Am i the only one who thinks that Reece seem to be continually involved in tackles like this where he falls or slips into tackles and gets battered. I dont believe Sualii deserved to be sent off, the referee was atrocious in his decisions.

[@jo1683]

They are expected to adjust their technique to accommodate for the opposing player sliping etc. Sualii didn’t even attempt to wrap the arm. His intent was to put on a big shot and he paid the price because he is either too lazy or dumb to get the technique right. Don’t blame the referee, he is just doing his job. Also, Reece was wiped out of the game due to it being a dangerous tackle - so it would be unfair if Sualii gets to run back on after 10 in the bin.

He was never a coach at the south’s or tigers so why now he would be a coach for the blues?

[@bobbyliriope1411]

Still dumbfounded why you would have a very defensive forward and captain benched for almost 2/3rds of the game..but the blues already lost when the team was named

[@Harry.Lee.]

Was Nico Hynes the 18th Man? I didn't see him at all.

[@stevenroyee7214]

NSW, Will have a new look side in origin 2,madge Maguire will be under pressure from gus,andrew johns,paul gallen to make some changes.

[@multioptioned]

Nah, Madge is mad and the definition of madness is to do the same thing and expect a different result. 0-3 he can quit and coach Eels 😂

[@NoEvidenceForGod]

Pressure from who now? lmaooo washed up talking heads have zero influence over selections

[@badrobot3159]
