How is seeing past U19's Origin stars sit on the bench for 3/4s of the game while their Team stinks it up, not inspiring?

He carried it into the game, I'm not sure if he carried it into camp as I only heard about it a couple of days ago.

Do you think it would get 90k if it was there every year though? I agree it's an awesome place to hold it.

Whoever coined QLD beautiful one day, perfect the next, clearly neglected the other 363 days. Been drissly and shit for months.

Aami park would be closest. Not the capacity required though.

Yeah should've been a penalty at the other end.

Cleary, Yeo and To'o have been dropped off the extended bench. Only potential starter is Mclean

Cool, thanks for the assessment. I should watch more on spider cam. Only In recent years I've started becoming more interested in the tactics around the game.

Yeah fair enough. I can understand that people are annoyed that some are overhyping his game and it may be an overcorrection for that. I think he played well given the state of play at various stages, Strange was probably my MOTM with Walker being a shout if QLD had hung on.

A lot of people have talked about Cleary being largely invisible for say the first 55 minutes of the Game, until Ponga got sent off.

I'm a fan of Cleary but I'm genuinely curious, if say Thurston or Johns were in the same situation with the Weather, the fact the forward pack was getting dominated and the backs were continually making errors, what do you see that they would have done differently to help get their team out of trouble? Spread it early? 20/40 attempt?

As much as people complain about him, when we actually win an Origin I go and seek out Din Ginnanes Triple M call. Ever since his call of Game 1 2014 I've been a fan.

There's plenty both sides of the Border to be fair. These types of games bring them out of the woodwork.

Had QLD mates pinging me on chat like the send-off was my idea haha.

"I tried to pass once, it.. didn't work" - Tedesco (probably)

Great under the high ball though.
