Origin II

If Munster never attempts another short kick off it will be too soon.

I agree, but he was still outstanding.

[Papenhuyzen23]

Some egg on faces tonight, a lot doubting Munster lately, he showed why he is still the best 6 in the game.

Wonderful performance by Munster. Let's hope he replicates his origin performances consistently for storm now which he has a history of not doing.

Grant better in general and loiero didn't look out of place which is still amusing for those that don't think he makes.a club side 17. Uto offered very little similar to several of his displays in purple. Doubt he'll be there game 3.

Confident of a blues win to wrap up series in sydney

Munster was very much in the range of how he’s been all season tbh. Took a bit more responsibility but he’s mostly been good (sans the defence) all season.

Stef had a couple of tough runs but the penalty he gave away on the no try and a run he took flat footed perfectly sums up his game. I wish he was better.

He goes all right when those around him are going good. He was much better in the first half than the second, no coincidence there. Of course, it didn't stop him from trying his guts out. Agreed, he was good during origin 2 and for once I didn't notice his putrid defence.

Also noted, 3 for Trent and 2 times for Harry left on the ground behind the play the ball.
Aaaaand....
Trent didn't give away any penalties Any 6 agains? I don't recall. Was it an abhorration?

Luai and Lomax both fined.

Luai and Lomax both fined.

Lomax fair enough, about on the money. Luai on the other hand...
Bloody disgrace.

Loeiro and Capewell starting, Munster as Captain. Carrigan on the bench. Mann at 14 and Mam in the squad.

Billy's either a genius, or he's lost the plot.

Genius, it turns out.

Massively helped by NSW poor discipline though.

[The Black Dot]

What I find a bit bizarre is if you set to one side, the poor goal kicking, the 6 agains, the amount of time NSW was in the red zone of QLD, the ill discipline of Lomax and Luai and laying in the ruck, it was all Ashley Kleins fault. WTF?

That's New South Wails for you.

[Mattpoet]

It's been funny watching them turn on each other

[blazza18]

The entire sport is refs fault galore tbh. Easily the worst thing about it.

Yeh, qlds never whinged about the ref's, ever, never would on the back of an 8- 0 penalty count, wouldn't say a peep

I just hope origin won't be dead again after blues wrap up the series

Biggest sooks you'll find

Both coaches had a legitimate reasons to be unimpressed with their teams. NSW with the first half and Qld with the second. I'd expect NSW to win the third but only if they don't get sucked into the hype and sense of hubris about them.
