Genious Billy. I'd love to see how the NRL 360 panel disecting his decision to put an outside back on the bench🤣🤣🤣. Another masterstroke . QUEENSLANDER❤❤❤
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
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.
@@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. You'll see how they disect the game tomorrow.

Oh really. Did you talk to Billy about it? Or are you a mind reader? QLD biased at it's best. Everyone can see that Walsh slipped into that tackle, but yet all the QLD and Walsh fan girls are saying it was deliberate.
For mine hammer is miles better than Walsh at fullback, better under the high balls, stronger in defence and easily just as fast, doesn't get belted running the ball back

@@Lokz99 Luai last 4 games for NSW have all been losses. Moses to 7, Luke Keary to 6 if Burton goes to the center, Burton at 6 if they pick a different center.
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. The reckless nature of the tackle means there was the intent to harm, which is fine if you harm the player legally. A tackle of that severity was a justified send-off. Selfish and stupid from Joseph. Let his state down.
Fully agree this has been nsw problem over the decades, they are gien orders to go out and belt players out if the game, if only nsw concentrate on playing footy instead of being dogs and thugs..shame they have never learned their lesson
Im kiwi guys, but you can obviously see the difference in heart between qslnd n nsw and its been evident since the worst qnsld team pikd won, how much heart and pride matters in a game where your repping your whanau, hense why the indigenous round is so great, mana hard from both whanau
As a Queenslander I am over the moon with Queensland winning l really thought NSW would of been harder to beat because l have a lot of respect for their coach but Queensland players play like a team NSW have a lot of champions who think that they should be the one to score goals instead of just trying to win the game they don’t play as a team they play for themselves
Too good maroons. My score prediction was absolutely 💯 correct. 10 nsw and blues 50 with disallowed trys. Hahaha brother gus. Next time from png. Bamahuta. Good night. 4xxxx
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).
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.
@@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).
@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.
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)
@philmckrakin6752 Yes I guess the country & the players both overseas & domestic want to see something emerge in the NRL.

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?
Is Joey Johns stoned on air? Nsw were flogged and straight after the siren hes saying the blues will take a lot of confidence to game 2, as if they lost by 2 points What a clown he’s embarrassing himself with comments like that
Given the speed and crazy angles at which Reece often travels, aiming at his midriff and hitting him on the head is all the more likely. Refs are spoiling the game, a 10 min sin bin would have sufficed and kept the contest alive.
Honestly as a Queenslander, full credit to the blues. They didn’t deserve to lose that game. They were ferocious all night and they never stopped trying. The only change I’d make is sualli out Edwards to the wing with a roving commission and Lomax in the centres. The reality is at full strength I think the blues win it. Madge needs to work on his bench rotation at this level. But as a Queenslander if my team performed like that. I’d be about as proud in defeat as I could be. Also sualli would be on the scrap heap.
NSW were arguably the better team for over half the game. The weight of possession and territory they had was unreal. Incredibly effort coming from the queenslander. Against 13 men, I reckon we'll be doing well
As a Strom supporter I can state that the MCG is not a neutral ground. When you walk passed the G to AAMI Park with your Storm gear on, the AFL fans want to know how the Storm went.
That was done with purposeful intent.. blues knew he was the danger man & took him out.. but it backfired & they got thrashed .. dog act.. good on Klein 👏👏👏
New South Wales needs a decent no7 who can direct the team around the park, his kicking game was horrible and 0 organization in the attacking zone, Moses in at 7 and leave the rest!
NSW plan backfired. It was a planned attack on Reece Walsh but exectued poorly. And even with Suali on the Field, they would still not win the game. The halfs lacked confidence and poor a attack saw a one sidesd affair. Maroons if they still had Walsh on the fied, the score line would be different. Its going to be a white wash this series. This series belongs to the Maroons.
Should try not to judge the nsw team based on this game. It was 13 vs 12 the whole game. Game 2 will tell us more. But honestly game 1 probably cost nsw the series.
I am puzzled why McGuire kept Jake out of most of the game??????? Only changes I would make to the blues wud be Tedesco to centre, Edwards to wing and ????? to full back and dump 2 of the BIG fowards for some smaller, faster ones.
Agree he has been qlds best player,together with cleary over the last 4 years, the nsw backline is non existent with him there, Moses and Burton for mine would be dangerous
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.
this proves you need more than just effort players. you need players with talent, class and confidence like Latrell Mitchell. Hynes has mental problems. You can see it on his face. He looks nervous and was nervous all game. kicking tentatively etc
if they do, and they lose they will be worse off, if they win Queens land will have to play really terrible, the odds are stacked against NSW, and the question has to be asked, Jake has a huge work rate, why the benching, and how much damage has that done? The biggest change they need is Attitude, Tactics, Strategy, with Attitude being a must
Qld are just better, there is no question about it, without Cleary we are going to get 3-0'ed ,no doubt about it. Even with Cleary slim chance we would win the series. I remember Cherry-Evans 3 years back saying "the weakest QLD side won it" but in reality they are the best QLD side we have ever seen. QLD still ruined us last night without Munster and Walsh. Yea we lost a man early but still would've lost. This is the most passionate and hard working QLD side in history.
2 questions answered. The heart NSW showed tonight shows they understand Origin, and Nico Hynes is not an origin player. Moses, Mitchell and Burton on the bench. With what was shown tonight NSW can come back.
Crazy watching game anything Hynes did the commentators were looking for a scapegoat to blame him same as Luai back when nsw wasn’t doing so well I think Hynes played quiet well I also believe Mosses had been fit would get picked ahead of him But I don’t think nsw done to much wrong to chop and change I do believe The fox deseved to be there and adds a lot to a team same as Latrell giving a positive environment like the blues he would’ve thrived and been the X factor Also if Edward’s was there game would’ve been closer not bagging teddy he has been great think Dylan is abit more well rounded
If QLD loses Walsh and Jo only gets 10 definitely advantage NSW. If the hit doesn't happen and both players stay on the field then it's a great game. Pretty obvious NSW's tactic was to target Walsh. You make the bed, now you have to lie in it! Billy called Maguires bluff by picking Cobbo on the bench!
Lomax, Luai, Too, Spencer, Stephen, Mcinnes, Yeo, Haas, Oalakautu, Martin, Jakes look ok to Melbourne..bring in Api, Mitch, Moses to fill in...kicking game did not help much except 1 leading to try...train to play 12, 11 players maybe! Coach should push to change ref Ashley Klein! He is a club referee!!
Hines cannot play origin, sorry to say even after the valiant effort Hines was pitiful, give me Moses any day, at least he will give some attack and be able to defend, did I mention Hines was terrible?
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
From the players probably available to NSW for game 2: 1. Edwards (or Tedesco; he's playing well too) 2. To'o 3. S. Crighton 4. Burton (or Sualli if he isn't out suspended) 5. Lomax (did well on debut. Worth keeping) 6. Luai 7. Moses 8. Campbell-Gillard (in form and will be hard for smaller Qld fowards to contain. Also hits hard). 9. Robson did well and good enough to keep, though I would have gone with Mitch Kenny; he hits hard and like McInnes, he can play back row too. 10. Leniu (needs to start, to get NSW in ascendancy early). 11. Martin 12. Olakahatu 13. Yeo 14. McInnes 15. A. Crichton 16. Haas / Stefano / May (perhaps not this year 17. Frizzel / Butcher / Matterson / Barnett Drop Trebovic (one ball playing foward is enough in these games and Yeo is better. NSW need more than just a toiler) Hynes (was only there by default. Weak in defence. His cross field running game not suited to Origin) Young (prone to brain explosions. Glory seeker). and maybe Haas (he has gradually improved, but there are better players that have more impact)
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.
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.
Game 1 was an easy maroons win 13 against 12 players. Ref should have called the game off with the send off of Suali. Blues avoid send off, sin bin and play good clean game to win the games. Mareta.
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.
Billy knew the hit on walsh was coming. Cobbo on the bench and Kaufusi as the 18th man.
I know Walsh would have a target on his back, that's why I kept him out of all my bets haha, all I needed was Holmes, had hammer +2 and Coates too

NSW were arguably the better team for over half the game. The weight of possession and territory they had was unreal. Incredibly effort coming from the queenslander. Against 13 men, I reckon we'll be doing well
Don't forget qld scored that first try with 13 on the field it wouldn't have mattered
finally a sensible comment.
Nsw was the better team for majority of the series last year to and they still lost
Sounds like all these comments were written by Paul Gallen.
Just a reminder 38 10
"Great confidence" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
hi😅😅😅 Paul Gallen you got your answer already 😊😊😊😊
To be fair they gave a great game . But if it happened to QLD they would take the win aswell.
Paul Vautin is a goose. NSW was never going to win with one player down.
NSW would NOT Win with All their Players - they did NOT had a Team - End of Story !!!!
Hynes isn't a rep player.
Never was.
Just a link only
I agree
I.m glad hynes played his game in state of origin. Now the nsw coaching staff know Nicho not a rep player.moses and Jerome and api number 9
And a speed hump
Hammer was my MOTM
Had him for first try and a hat trick 😊 unlucky not to get both
As a Strom supporter I can state that the MCG is not a neutral ground. When you walk passed the G to AAMI Park with your Storm gear on, the AFL fans want to know how the Storm went.
and then the AFL pash the Storm fans
DCE is very intelligent and smart with proceedings
That was done with purposeful intent.. blues knew he was the danger man & took him out.. but it backfired & they got thrashed .. dog act.. good on Klein 👏👏👏
New South Wales needs a decent no7 who can direct the team around the park, his kicking game was horrible and 0 organization in the attacking zone, Moses in at 7 and leave the rest!
It was a shoulder charge, a very bad one that left Reece Walsh concussed. Send off was warranted.
He slipped and was not a shoulder charge
6:36 - lol reece always looking out for his players good looks.
queensland were so confident, they had kaufusi as 18th man! and he still got a stint ffs 🤣🤣🤣.
hynes is good to play touch i reckon 😂
Brooks and Moses at 6 & 7
Queenslander 😅🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Nico Hynes is not built for origin.
Maybe NSW should just put more black people on their team 🤷🏾♂️ just saying ....
That is a RACIST comment
Here we f…ing go again. Supporting the Blues just invites disappointment into your life.
😂😂😂😂spot on..can't stop..😂😂😂😎😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@RawMixCoffee 🤣😂😅 I'm switching to QLD 😅😅
Lu brooks and chad townsed need to be the halfs and bring tommy Hazleton in and burton
NSW plan backfired.
It was a planned attack on Reece Walsh but exectued poorly.
And even with Suali on the Field, they would still not win the game.
The halfs lacked confidence and poor a attack saw a one sidesd affair.
Maroons if they still had Walsh on the fied, the score line would be different.
Its going to be a white wash this series. This series belongs to the Maroons.
theres another qld dynasty coming.....
Scoring so few points against 12 men for 74 minutes is not a dominate game.
@@paythepiper6283it was a very dominate game, stop using 12 men as your excuse
@@paythepiper6283 This was in Sydney, QLD never score big like that in Sydney.
NSW were better team between the 35th minute and the 65th minute with 12 men.
13 on 13 in melbourne will be a nsw win.
Then to qld for decider.
@@someoneunseen5168 And I'll be there amongst Blacheys Blues cheering them on!
0:50 "You got the money ok?" "Yeah mate, I got the money" ...
Was Nico Hynes the 18th Man?
I didn't see him at all.
Burton in at 6 Cleary 7
No keep luai and Cleary together
Cleary ain't coming back
I think Cleary been ruled out for the whole origin series. Such a shame because we need he so bad !
cleary is out for the series .but good choice dude seriously wtf
Cleary gone for the series
Should try not to judge the nsw team based on this game. It was 13 vs 12 the whole game.
Game 2 will tell us more. But honestly game 1 probably cost nsw the series.
I am puzzled why McGuire kept Jake out of most of the game??????? Only changes I would make to the blues wud be Tedesco to centre, Edwards to wing and ????? to full back and dump 2 of the BIG fowards for some smaller, faster ones.
Billy Slater has proved his critics on the selection of maroon for game one wrong. How about few words pology. Well done billy
Luai to finally be dropped for good? His last 4 matches for NSW have all been losses.
Bro, he was one of nsw better players tonight. What did you watch?
Agree he has been qlds best player,together with cleary over the last 4 years, the nsw backline is non existent with him there, Moses and Burton for mine would be dangerous
Same as Cleary
@@UhtredKing have to agree. he was the one guy i was worried about.
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.
this proves you need more than just effort players. you need players with talent, class and confidence like Latrell Mitchell. Hynes has mental problems. You can see it on his face. He looks nervous and was nervous all game. kicking tentatively etc
Idk that kick over the dead ball line in the 3rd minute wasn't tentative lol. He sucks.
Reece will be rhe next Kangaroos full back 🎉❤
Billy is the next "Wayne Barnette."
Should've had 'one look' Casey in the bunker or wearing the 7 jersey.
Series what do hype about Walsh man Hamer is better by country mile or coz he play for broncos
Blues must make mass changes if they're to win 2nd game in Melbourne
if they do, and they lose they will be worse off, if they win Queens land will have to play really terrible, the odds are stacked against NSW, and the question has to be asked, Jake has a huge work rate, why the benching, and how much damage has that done? The biggest change they need is Attitude, Tactics, Strategy, with Attitude being a must
Qld are just better, there is no question about it, without Cleary we are going to get 3-0'ed ,no doubt about it. Even with Cleary slim chance we would win the series. I remember Cherry-Evans 3 years back saying "the weakest QLD side won it" but in reality they are the best QLD side we have ever seen. QLD still ruined us last night without Munster and Walsh. Yea we lost a man early but still would've lost. This is the most passionate and hard working QLD side in history.
2 questions answered. The heart NSW showed tonight shows they understand Origin, and Nico Hynes is not an origin player. Moses, Mitchell and Burton on the bench. With what was shown tonight NSW can come back.
Crazy watching game anything Hynes did the commentators were looking for a scapegoat to blame him same as Luai back when nsw wasn’t doing so well
I think Hynes played quiet well I also believe Mosses had been fit would get picked ahead of him
But I don’t think nsw done to much wrong to chop and change
I do believe The fox deseved to be there and adds a lot to a team same as Latrell giving a positive environment like the blues he would’ve thrived and been the X factor
Also if Edward’s was there game would’ve been closer not bagging teddy he has been great think Dylan is abit more well rounded
If QLD loses Walsh and Jo only gets 10 definitely advantage NSW. If the hit doesn't happen and both players stay on the field then it's a great game. Pretty obvious NSW's tactic was to target Walsh. You make the bed, now you have to lie in it! Billy called Maguires bluff by picking Cobbo on the bench!
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.
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 😂
Pressure from who now? lmaooo washed up talking heads have zero influence over selections
Then NSW will lose again 😂😂😂😂
Fantastic BATTING performance by QLD....NSW unlucky to lose early wicket of Sewarlili.
Hynes out,Teddy stays ,swap Joseph and Zac...or bring in Bradman Best(not sure how long he is out for) to replace Joseph.
Hopefully the NSW selectors don't see your comment..Haynes in NSW team will keep the Qld Dynasty going..😎
@@RawMixCoffee 🤣 with or without hynes,Billy is on route to doing his second 8-straight...just as the coach this time😎
Lomax, Luai, Too, Spencer, Stephen, Mcinnes, Yeo, Haas, Oalakautu, Martin, Jakes look ok to Melbourne..bring in Api, Mitch, Moses to fill in...kicking game did not help much except 1 leading to try...train to play 12, 11 players maybe!
Coach should push to change ref Ashley Klein! He is a club referee!!
The BLUES are jst a junior in STATE OF ORIGIN...
No match for giant state of origin games as again proof tonight...GO ON UR MIGHTY QUEENSLANDER 👏🏈🤟
There's still big problems with N. Hynes at this level. His tackling is really poor.
Just his tackling. I'd have thought his game management, kicking, running and passing were ordinary.
Dead right.
Hines cannot play origin, sorry to say even after the valiant effort Hines was pitiful, give me Moses any day, at least he will give some attack and be able to defend, did I mention Hines was terrible?
From the get go
I was saying hynes was terrible before tonight and everyone laughed at me hahaha.
Didnt have the defence and we lacked any kicking game... felt hynes and luai clashed all game too...
Was Hynes the 3rd or 4th choice in line for selection for this game?
@@multioptioned He was first choice after Cleary went down injured.
Bronson xerri to replace Joey in the centres
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
A shame to celebrate a win over 12/13 mismatch.... State of Original game loosing it's fidelity
From the players probably available to NSW for game 2:
1. Edwards (or Tedesco; he's playing well too)
2. To'o
3. S. Crighton
4. Burton (or Sualli if he isn't out suspended)
5. Lomax (did well on debut. Worth keeping)
6. Luai
7. Moses
8. Campbell-Gillard (in form and will be hard for smaller Qld fowards to contain. Also hits hard).
9. Robson did well and good enough to keep, though I would have gone with Mitch Kenny; he hits hard and like McInnes, he can play back row too.
10. Leniu (needs to start, to get NSW in ascendancy early).
11. Martin
12. Olakahatu
13. Yeo
14. McInnes
15. A. Crichton
16. Haas / Stefano / May (perhaps not this year
17. Frizzel / Butcher / Matterson / Barnett
Drop
Trebovic (one ball playing foward is enough in these games and Yeo is better. NSW need more than just a toiler)
Hynes (was only there by default. Weak in defence. His cross field running game not suited to Origin)
Young (prone to brain explosions. Glory seeker).
and maybe Haas (he has gradually improved, but there are better players that have more impact)
Bra you've got no idea LOL
Who's Olakahatu? Sounds like a Hawaiian dish
@@CamElRodriguezSnrJnrIII I've got more of an idea than those clueless NSW selectors. Bra.
@@Unbearable.Unbearable No you don't bred LOL
@@CamElRodriguezSnrJnrIII Whatever "bred" means? So what's your best NSW side for Origin 2 ?
Gus will want Moses at 7 they’ll change the team a little again 😅

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.
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.
Game 1 was an easy maroons win 13 against 12 players. Ref should have called the game off with the send off of Suali. Blues avoid send off, sin bin and play good clean game to win the games. Mareta.
He was never a coach at the south’s or tigers so why now he would be a coach for the blues?
Blues need a new spine
They need a spine...backbone
Unfortunately, it was a predictable result.
NSW and Phil Ghould aleays have an excuse
Ask the NRLGBTQ to change the game back to the NRL
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.
