Love that Gus has a 100% blue heart that he gives unbiased analysis gold as he tells you exactly as he sees it. His insight is brilliant and the reason I listen to both Gus and Matt every week without fail. Go QLD!
I can’t see the blues limiting QLD to less than 20 points. And i struggle to see the blues scoring more than a few tries. QLD win 26-12 (Unless QLD turn up half hearted knowing they can win games 2 and 3)
He can never look Gus in the eye for more than a second lol really strange, think he's intimidated. Compare that to how he acts with Freddy and Joey and it's two different Matts lol
It's actually a good point about NSW being the better team last series but losing the big moments. Sometimes the ball just doesn't bounce your way. Hopefully it does this series.
I’m listening to this again after Origin and everything Gus said came true. Obviously the send off altered things in an extreme way but he nailed everything from team selection philosophy from the Queenslanders, to reasonings as to why Nicho might not have been the best pick considering how vital it is to train combinations in the lead up. He even picked out all the stars of the match. Please Gus, coach the team again. Even it’s just picking the team and setting an interchange plan and leaving it to Ivan for him to pick up some mid week cash. Please save us Gus!
Billy 'the bush poet' has been working on game 1 ever since the end of last year's game 3, he will see what Gus sees. The NSW bench still scares me, I don't see how they cover injuries. Hopefully they make a late change and put Burton on the bench.
Matt, can you ask Gus how good Graham Lowe was? I love how Gus champions NZ league, but I reckon you guys should do a podcast on those NZ legends that went before. Just finished listening to a Mark Graham interview. Inspirational..
Might be the first time he really looked at this game through coaches eyes. He is a pretty busy guy, the dogs, tv, family and probably a whole lot more.
Omg the whole this is rigged does my head in..how come the series was won after two games last year then how have Qld dominated the past fifteen years ... Stfu
They have 2 good catchers in suallii and Lomax yet have a half on that side who hasnt scored from a cross field kick to his wing or centre in 2 seasons...
So as Gus said QLD will be more adaptable and NSW wont, this puts 4 vectors on it, and QLD needing adaptability will only be 25% under that assumption.
I feel good about the Blues; they are better coached + workers, but more than that, they are physically dominant. Madge has flipped the script; underestimate this team, just do: NSW 30-10 winners; they will physically overwhelm the Queenslanders, watch a repeat of Aussies being overwhelmed by the Kiwis late last year.
Dce done way more at origin than Joey and the same as him at club land. (Technically more 1 of joeys premierships came when broncos were in super league, Gus said he refused to let them play Bronx bc he knew it would end the arl)
When DCE left the gold coast you guys called him a "FILTHY COCKROACH" in huge print on the back page of the paper, now he is better than the only Immortal from the modern era. Really?
"NSW was the better team for the majority of the series but lost the series". What an absolutely ridiculous thing to say. Reminds me of England's "moral victory" in the Ashes series. Get real NSW. QUEENSLANDER!!!
Hunt will do nothing at hooker except feed the halves, then when NSW have forgotten all about him he'll slip into first receiver on the right and put the winger in the corner. I can see it now.
I feel bad for Edwards and, I believe that this was another scheme by NSW to win. Teddy has played his guts out in every game he has played in. When will NSW get what State of Origin is about? Steve Mortimer , Wayne Pearce and Andrew Johns IMO seem to be the only ones to get it.
He started off by saying you can lose game 1 and still win the series because game 2 will be the most important game. Then 20 minutes later he basically said if NSW lose game 1 they're screwed.
I can see Nsws getting the rub of the green when it comes yo penalties and 6 agains. It always happens in Sydney. That will open the door for quick play the balls whilst queensland is back pedalling. That opens the door for Luai and Angus Chrichton in Queenslands red zone. I don't think its as doom and gloom as Gus is making out.
He was dominant in his first game back, well rested and fully fit, he really looked like he was enjoying his footy. Don't wish origin on him, he might just pull off a miracle and get the eels into the 8 before finals.
Goose is like a bagpipe. Open the flange and let all the hot air and squeaky noise comes out... some people like it but goose loves his own opinions..... if you say enough about all scenarios of the outcome, at least he covers himself to be right about one thing.... nsw programmes should stay in nsw..... don't bore the rst of the world with your crepe... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Let’s hope Voss stops commentating soon , NSW to win big , fast free football, new era , not the old predictable game of old , there’s new shot callers in play. New game , new era , let’s go blues !.💥🔥💣🏉🎯🥊🏆🎈🫵🏾No one is stopping Spencer …..
My biggest wish 2024 , RABS on the commentary and GUSS on final word !!!!!!! OMG MAKE IT HAPPEN!
RIP Rob, good to see rugby league fans around the world paying respect
Matt is a champion and a great ambassador for Rugby League and a great presenter and commentator.
Matt Thompson is a good listen, hope he keeps commentating and podcasting for a long time.
Love that Gus has a 100% blue heart that he gives unbiased analysis gold as he tells you exactly as he sees it. His insight is brilliant and the reason I listen to both Gus and Matt every week without fail. Go QLD!
Gus is a great analyst. Unbiased opion. Says it how he sees it.
I can’t see the blues limiting QLD to less than 20 points. And i struggle to see the blues scoring more than a few tries.
QLD win 26-12 (Unless QLD turn up half hearted knowing they can win games 2 and 3)
Matt Thompson just loves having Gus on about everything and anything ❤😂
He can never look Gus in the eye for more than a second lol really strange, think he's intimidated. Compare that to how he acts with Freddy and Joey and it's two different Matts lol
Gus, Lomax has been snapping 2 point field goals for fun this year. Just in regards to you not being sure about a feild goal specialist.
Appreciate you Gus 🙏 Up the Maroons and Up the Wahs
Cracking breakdown of the game
Gus, you are a real master mind. Go Queensland!!!
Rainy day for Sydney fellas....who does that favour?? Can't wait..................Queenslander!!!
It's actually a good point about NSW being the better team last series but losing the big moments. Sometimes the ball just doesn't bounce your way. Hopefully it does this series.
Nicho hynes, first contribution, kicks it dead, QLD score..... yeah... great selection buddy
Gus has got me rethinking my whole life never mind origin 🙃🥴 NSW by 1 lmao
up the wahs
Who?
Phins up
Waratahs!!!
Boring it’s not 2023
Wrong sport, Waratahs are union not league
QLD to win, 18-16 💯 LESSGOOOO MAROONS! 🔥🔥🔥

Gus pretty much predicted it to a tee
Esp with the NSW back coverage and style of play
Gus has a wealth of knowledge and I somehow believe that he over thinks things but he is very interesting.
Billy 'the bush poet' has been working on game 1 ever since the end of last year's game 3, he will see what Gus sees.
The NSW bench still scares me, I don't see how they cover injuries. Hopefully they make a late change and put Burton on the bench.
Matt, can you ask Gus how good Graham Lowe was? I love how Gus champions NZ league, but I reckon you guys should do a podcast on those NZ legends that went before. Just finished listening to a Mark Graham interview. Inspirational..
Gus talking up Qld big time
His secretly a qlder 😂
Might be the first time he really looked at this game through coaches eyes. He is a pretty busy guy, the dogs, tv, family and probably a whole lot more.
Not sure you can do anything about it now but "Remembered" is spelled wrong under the "Vale Rob Burrow" banner
There will be a decider in Brisbane. The NRL will guarantee it.
Omg the whole this is rigged does my head in..how come the series was won after two games last year then how have Qld dominated the past fifteen years ... Stfu

Gus, i wish you were a QLD'R :)
wow, wow,wow,QLD fan here but Gus you are the best in opinions..
I think NSW will win the series when the wallabies win the Bledisloe cup again.
DCE 2020 was all he needed to do but took us to 2 more at his age is better than any Blues players since Joey
Dce done way more at origin than Joey and the same as him at club land. (Technically more 1 of joeys premierships came when broncos were in super league, Gus said he refused to let them play Bronx bc he knew it would end the arl)

NSW are one HIA away from catastrophe.. Bill will get it done ❤️🙏
Go The Blues ..a big win against the odds
"NSW was the better team for the majority of the series but lost the series". What an absolutely ridiculous thing to say. Reminds me of England's "moral victory" in the Ashes series. Get real NSW.
QUEENSLANDER!!!
Stats are made to be broken. QUEENSLANDER!
Stats say you guys are favourite I hope the Blues can win against the odds of this injury crisis
Hunt will do nothing at hooker except feed the halves, then when NSW have forgotten all about him he'll slip into first receiver on the right and put the winger in the corner.
I can see it now.
100%. Or dummy and score himself....
All the way from PNG , Go! Maroons for game two
Come on Queensland
Just think mam fast game is it,
I feel bad for Edwards and, I believe that this was another scheme by NSW to win. Teddy has played his guts out in every game he has played in. When will NSW get what State of Origin is about? Steve Mortimer , Wayne Pearce and Andrew Johns IMO seem to be the only ones to get it.
Gus - 'Whoever wins game 2 wins the series. 20 minutes later, 'NSW can't lose game 1.'
So if nsw win game one and two they don't win the series?
@@lachlanmadden740 Correct and nsw don't want a decider at Murdoch central.
He started off by saying you can lose game 1 and still win the series because game 2 will be the most important game. Then 20 minutes later he basically said if NSW lose game 1 they're screwed.

QLD UNDERDOGS....again...amazing how superior the Blues are every year....
Don't believe these talking heads... believe the bookies... QLD are favourites as they should be
you boys can buy a headset without a mic on it just saying
what was that about Mathew? 1:24
Telling sound guy to turn up either his mic or Gus' mic. Not hard to figure out lol
@@NoEvidenceForGod Yeah I thought it might be that but both mics were at the same volume
I am sorry to say this but I didn't like gus but he knows what he's talking about go gus o I am a proud Queensland er but have to be honest
Your grammar revealed where you're from Franky boy
Moses will feature in Game 2 if fit
Why? Game 1 hasn't even started lol
Hopgood defensively is suss
Run at him 😂
Moses for game 2
Moses will part the red sea of two heads
He was dominant in his first game back, well rested and fully fit, he really looked like he was enjoying his footy.
Don't wish origin on him, he might just pull off a miracle and get the eels into the 8 before finals.
Why? Game 1 hasn't even started lol
@@DBASSDAN my point has been proven
@@anonymous5787 not really
nsw still doesn't get Origin!!! Keep picking penrith players there clearly NOT Origin players! My Prediction, Billy is after Big Mals Record!!!
QLD 38 - 10
Hopgood offload to Reece Walsh
Why do ya think nononono teremmm yerereree maters to anyone? Its anoying
Tried to click 'translate' to make your sentence semi-coherent, unfortunately to no avail. Don't skip your meds Julie ol gal
@@NoEvidenceForGod keep clickin pal'

Sorry just wana hear it it seems stupid. Yes yes yes.. no thanks
