Yeah oath man, deadset mediocre game. Only thing that saved it was the closeness in the end. The standard wasn't too much higher than a top level club game. Not enough mongrel in that Queensland team, although it was good to see Hodges get stuck into it.

If Queensland don't win by more than 12 points I'll happily marry Ripper.

You were saying? :cheers:

Bit of a let down I thought, not the usual Origin standard.

I thought the Blues were well worth their win, a lot of huff and puff but no quality from the MAROONZ. They didn't get into the game until an hour had gone. Had they started as they finished they may well have won the game.

Hodges did cop it on the chin :lol:




I have to agree that the game and the whole lead up felt a little flat compared to previous years but it turned out to be a pretty exciting in the end.


ps. Thats the quietest 70,000+ crowd i've ever heard.

I am eating humble pie all day

Did i mention Finchy got his start at the raiders!!!!

NEEEEEEEEEEW SOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUTTTTTTHH WAAAAAAAALLLLLLESS!!

:bravo: :cheers: :bleh!:

 

[woosaah]

i dont see why the NSW boys would be happy about that game they didnt play very well either. their kicking game in the second half was a bit meh as well. They should have sealed the deal early but they just couldnt. They only scored 3 points in the second half.

As for qld they played aweful as well, after hearing all you guys talk about inglis saying he was the next best thing i was looking forward tow atching him play (havnt seen much league this year) drop balls bad passes, but he did redeem him self a little with those 2 tries in the corner.

i was overall disapointed with the game it shouldnt have been that close at all really but nsw played that bad in the second half.

i was looking forward to a close game, it was really only close on the scoreboard.

But you're a kiwi, so you can't really comprehend what it means to win a State of Origin match... it doesn't matter how it's done, if your team wins in SOO that's all that matters.

 

[dobrien7]

So kinda like winning the Ranfurly Shield for us then?

Was good to see even though it was a kind of average game, that the spectacle that is SOO gave us another entertaining match with that finish

 

[woosaah]

yes i am a kiwi, i am a huge qld supporter, there just didnt seam the hype in this match at all.

the fact that qld lost by 1 point didnt really make me jump for joy, i was really annoyed at the whole game. there wasnt that many big hits, it just felt flat. and i love SOO football normally even if qld lose.

also dobrien, when was the last time southland had the ranfurly shield

canterbury has had it to long, we need to lose it this year and for it to go on the road a bit. just got me hyped up about the ranfurly shield again

 

[ak47]

It wasnt the usual bump n grind origin clash

the referee was an idiot - origin is about not knowing there is a ref.......he stamped his authority early by ruling soft penalties.

Amateur mistakes by both teams

Glad to see some biffage back..........there better be more @ LANG PARK

Haha was meaning winning SOO for an Aussie would be similar to winning Ranfurly Shield for a NZer. And I believe Southland had the longest ever Ranfurly Shield reign of 8 years, last having it in 1958. Before you laugh, Otago last had it 1956 so we're better off than them

PS - We'll be taking it back come Aug 18

My Year 8 teacher in '82 was from Otago. He got angry at me when I did a graph on Ranfurly shield holdings and I only had a few for Otago over the last century....he blasted at me about how wrong I was.....

...bloody ignorant prick.....if a teacher doesn't know the facts they should at least stop trying to pretend they are 100% right. I hope he realised years later that a skinny Island boy from South auckland knew more about his provinces rugby than he did......he was a bloody useless teacher anyway imo despite the fact that the rest of the class loved him. Once he blasted me in front of the class for NO REASON....he didn't even tell me why he was yelling at me....just kept saying i was a useless boy.... :rahh:

...anyway........back to the league....talk about a game of two woeful halves....Queensland sucked in the first and NSW sucked in the second. The ref sucked throughout as he tried desperately to help Queensland win. So many mistakes....killed the game as a spectacle.

The highlight was mr come from nowhere and his drop goal......stuff legends are written about.

[dobrien7]

We're still claiming it, but we had it for 9 years from '38 to '47 I think, the bulk of which during a playground scuffle in Europe somewhere

Maybe should have said 'one of' longest tenures by time, not games played

Getting back to rugby league, people. That drop goal last night was nothing short of dumb luck.

There's no chance of Finch ever slotting a goal like that again. It was merely a brain explosion which accidentally struck the jackpot.

I wouldn't call it a brain explosion... If he went for a chip over the top I'd agree, but a droppy was a pretty reasonable thing to try given the circumstances.

But yeah, Finch will never do that agin.

Seriously though, that crap with Buderus getting penelised was a joke! If Qld had have won after that shocking decision the result would have been nothing short of highway robbery.

 

[woosaah]

well i think he got penalised for a punch which was fair enough

the kick he received was stuff all in it not worth a punch anyway. when i first saw it i thought he was just trying to get his knee in. i think it was fair enough

but that was also a touchies call not a refs call he didnt see either of them

:wall: :cryy: :wah:

f***ING HAMPSTEAD COST ME $60.00

I had Inglis for last try - he scores in the 72nd - I am laughing

Then Bedsy gets done for a punch that was provoked by the REDNECKS

I mean ****, Bedsy dont play like that

2 tackles later BELL crosses in the corner :wall: :rahh: ........at which point I am now searching thru the Hampstead's in the white pages :hunt:

then to cap it all off...........THAIDAY lashes out @ Bedsy in the last minutes and Bedsy's on the deck flawed..........same instance - roles swapped - but no touchy coming in there

If we had lost that game based on that Hampstead would never rule another 1st grade game

But in the insuing aftermatch of Finch's fluke...........nobody wants to know about Hampstead f***-ups...........the media is now blindfolded by a last minute FG, and Hampstead will prolly get the go-ahead for the rest of the series

FFS - YOU f***ING REFS BETTER CLEAN UR ACTS UP, AND YOU OWE ME $60.00 U f***ING TOOLS :wall: :%#%#: :rahh: :ranting:
