Just got back to uk from Origin II & watched France v England test match. It is a million miles away from the level of Origin. Origin is correctly stated the pinnacle of RL!!!!
Pity because I wish QLD would have shown up with intensity. The prospect of trying to win a rare 3 nil at Suncorp would have been awesome. (spoken as a biased QLD fan of course though).
Exactly right, by the time qld had the chance to pull it together game was over at 34-0. Qld showed after half time they can beat the blues. Gane 3 will be all about who can stay on top and make the most of the chances as they both look evenly matched.
Yeah, but QLD should have known NSW needed to win. As a QLD myself, i was tipping the blues for this very reason. I knew they had to win, and they had the team to do it. Edwards deserved his win, for sure. Legend.
Billy is such a gem. He not only knows how to play or coach but can handle questions well. The one about referring was handled pretty well, even the journo was speechless for some instance.
Why is John’s asking Billy what it’s like to lose an origin game ,and yet Brad is sitting there sacked after losing two origin series to Billy’s Queenslanders 😂
Billy is honest,he is getting grilled, by this 2 guys,but Billy is so calm,watch Andrew asking some stupid questions ,this NSW people asking questions, trying to find out what is Billy gonna do with game 3
Qld were slow out of the blocks. NSW were full of enthusiasm and desire. And Latrell Mitchell was playing. He's some sort of force of nature this bloke. Unbelievable.
If you break it down, the officiating of the game, cause we do not want to talk about the Refs, Penalties & 6 Again NSW, first 20 minutes, QLD on defensive, such high intensity, QLD gassed had no attack, to say NSW had no infringements in the first 10 minutes is a joke, high tackle from Hass, but QLD received their first Penalty 35min of the game.
@user-ly1uu8mj1e , yeah sure, name em all, you can start with the entire Melbourne storm club that rorted the system, then the early Broncos teams of the 80s/90s, Langer was the biggest grub going, oh he didn't mean to hit him high, he's short you know, always jumping into tackles, wouldn't last a month these days
@@thefinisher2010 Slater is widely considered the greatest fullback to ever play the game but he’s only a legend in his own mind 😂🤣😂 Tell us you sniffed too much petrol without telling us you sniffed too much petrol 🤣
and the rest NSW got away with so many infringements while Q'ld had at least three soft penalties and repeat sets against them. When teams are close and one side is gifted 12 maybe 18 points that's the game. And it's good for the brand too makes for a series decider that all will watch. The game is a joke.
all by design,make no mistake that period from the 8th minute to the 32nd was all designed to take the wind out of any chance of a QLD win so Game III would be worthy,anyone you thinks any different has my emapathy
The penalties given against Queensland in that first half were rubbish. I thought the ref was meant to put the whistle away! And then the forward passes were ridiculous.
The NRL so desperately wanted a pivotal game 3 for the ticket prices... The first 30 mins contained a 6 nil penalty count and 6 nil 6and agains for nsw. What a wonderful way to exhaust opposing defenses in a high octane origin match 🎯...
Correct..it was a NRL/CH9 rort for sure, that almost got out of control....the refs did everything they could to get Qld pts in the 2nd half...don't believe it doesn't happen...
@@Giveme1goodreason The problem is consistency of calls, if you are doing things right, but the other team is not and they aren't getting pulled up, then it isn't very fair.
Just a question, I dont know the techical rules in playing the ball , but I noticed a technique NSW employed that gave them a decisive advantage playing the ball , check it out NSW played every tackle off the mark, making it harder for the QLD tacklers to set themselves for the next play , many times QLD markers seemed to be in disarray. QLD played on the mark.. I think such a tiny tactic had a major outcome in NSW possesion of the ball. BTW the ref's ignored this big time and I wonder if this is why NSW got so many repeat sets of 6 because the ref's measured the 10 meters from the off mark position instead of the held position. If it is nothing shouldn't QLD play the same way?
@@chantellesariman5921 Probably means pushing forward an extra few steps in the action of playing the ball, so the two markers couldn't get set and they got a territory advantage. The kind of thing that the NRL refs sometimes call out and get the player to go back to the place they were called held.
If your talking about the 6 against in the early part of game then the defenders should have been on the goal line, which the right side defence of Holmes and Coates where pushing up way too early.
I’m nsw and I agree .. For the last 20 years it didn’t matter who Queensland picked everyone knew their role in that team and attack was always on point. Been a very tough 20 years lol
Billy handled these blokes with brilliant ease,of course every question from these NSW inahbitants is designed to trip him up,billy smiling in response to the 'we're still qldrs' comment immediately put that comment to the dustbin forever bc hes well aware that its a nothing comment,it was slightly ridiculous and Cherry-Evans proved it as well by laughing,the tension has eased n i think it will be the first line trotted out by billy if Qld happens to get up in Game III,we'll have to wait n see
If we go by history, the Blues' record at Suncorp is hot trash. That said, I think this Blues team has a lot more focus and determination than the more recent Blues teams, evident from their record breaking first half in game 2. They also looked good for a lot of game 1 despite being a man down so I don't think game 3 will be as straight forward as people think. The Suncorp effect is real but I'd argue this Blues team is immune to it and if they come with the same intensity as game 2, the home ground advantage for the Maroons will be non-existent.
Yes. We will have a decider. It makes it even more exciting. But it's not an excuse to not playing your best footy. Fans come out to watch & they love their team. Even Victorians came to watch our code. That's the beauty of having it on neutral ground. Let's get it right Billy this time at home.
I can only see a couple changes and I reckon max plath could come in to play off the bench and possibly David fafita or Christian Welch coming in for kaufusi and capewell cobbo on the wing.
You lost the second half because Ashley was in damage control giving us pens after reffing the worst first 40 in origin history and handing nsw a record win
This same thing happened in 2023's State of Origin Game 11 in 2023. NSW were 40 points. But when Game 3 played, it was different story. It will be likewise with 2024 Games 3. Go Maroons Go. Western Province of PNG with you Queens Land. We are your wantok.
5:38 says more than words ever could. Billy has gotten yards and yards on both Fittler and Johns both as a player and without question as a professional coach. Brads faces say it all.
Suncorp will boost the QLD stats slightly, but not enough to beat NSW. The Blues side just has a bit more strength, intensity and cohesion this series than the Maroons, which we couldn't see the full extent of in game 1, but certainly did in game 2. Enough of a difference to negate the Suncorp effect imo
QLD just went to play enough for they didnt think it was Clinical. NSW had one of those nights, there was no mistake... I hated it because i didnt see the defense im use to seeing... I hope Suncorp can show some defense
Nsw supporter: I feel the momentum of the game is controlled by the referee, 1st half of game 2 the penalties against QLd were boarder line , I feel the ref was blowing the whistle to quick for them contrast to NSW
He goes on to say he let go of the pressure of coaching NSW when he didn’t reapply for the role but clearly he hasn’t let go. He bleeds blue, good on him.
Would agree with that as a Blues fan. If Slater wants to maximise chances of a series win, Fifita needs to be in the squad. I think leaving him out for 2 games sent the message, but that said, DCE missed 2 whole series after his backflip so who knows.
Well spoken, and he does understand, we are QUEENSLANDERS, we will fight hard to win, WE QUEENSLANDERS will support our team, each player, and the concept, if we lose the series we will go home, lick our wounds, and begin preparation to go around again, thanks billy
You shouldn't have had walsh in the side, 7 minutes of footy in 4 weeks his performance was there for all to see. NSW whole side just dominated QLD across the park. Don't mean squat now, it's 1-1 with the decider at Lang Park

@@dunit4472 If you’re talking about the last game and not history then why’d you include 13 v 13 hinting at a previous game that you’re obviously still butt hurt about ?
While this chat is going on, the video footage of the absolutely illegal ‘tackles’ from Martin, Mitchell, Chrichton and more, plus a ‘past horizontal’ tackle by Mitchell and NOT ONE SIN BIN! NOT ONE!!! Suaali got sent OFF for his shoulder charge on Walsh in game one, but Mitchell left his feet and hit Walsh IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!! On report and a penalty was a ridiculous response! Suaali also copped four weeks as a follow up, but Liam Martin led with his shoulder into DCE and Mitchell did the same with Walsh and everyone is talking as if they’re going to be playing in game 3! Either Joe Suaali is owed a MASSIVE apology, or the NRL judiciary needs to step up and penalise the totally illegal tackles and hand out suspensions in keeping with his one. Whatever happens, the claim that contact with the head is totally out of bounds is a myth as far as Origin II goes. No consistency at all between premiership games and Origin means the whole thing is a load of BS.
He's the coach he can talk however he wants...Well given the Blues are celebrating their dominance from Game 2 and mis-step in Game 1, now the Maroons are back against the walls and underdogs. haha heard that before and the results right...
NSW is overall a bigger, faster team than QLD's and that's a significant factor. QLD has trouble getting them to the ground in tackles AND challenging on high kicks. At this point home field advantage is all we have unless tactics can make a difference. 🤷♂
So much of Origin is between the ears; I always fear complacency with NSW teams, as our media down here crow about one game before the series is over; fortunately, we have the Blues Mountains now. Magde is smart; get them out of Sydney. I look at Freddie and think, damn, he had all the best players and came up 3 of 6 in the number of series. I know Madge won't be so-laid-back-Freddie.
As a qld, nsw were running harder tackling harder, wanted drop balls harder ran harder and played harder and wanted it more just say that billy you already own some horrifc qld records 30 nil hald time who tf are you ? Picking jayden sui, val homes ?
NSW wanted it more. It's so easy to see. Just like in game one in the woman's origin series. There's nothing wrong with the players' abilities. It's whoever wants it more determines the outcome more often than not, especially at that level.

13 vs 13 thats where it went wrong billy 😂
It was 14 vs 13
Its been 13 v 13 for majority of Origins history and yet QLD have still won more Origin series clown
@@jest3167 you still hurt 😂 after a fair game of 13 vs 13 qld got pumped were talking about last game history is history 😂
@@dunit4472 If you’re talking about the last game and not history then why’d you include 13 v 13 hinting at a previous game that you’re obviously still butt hurt about ?
@@jest3167 keep crying ya sook fair is fair we beat you now shutup and move on stop being buthhurt
anyone see the ball hit the spider cam cable at 0:09 ? hahah I pretty sure it did
What a freakin ambush!
That was a very soft interview, Joey even jumped in and rescued him when he got one tough question.
As if Billy is going to give anything away so obviously expect bland answers most already know.
While this chat is going on, the video footage of the absolutely illegal ‘tackles’ from Martin, Mitchell, Chrichton and more, plus a ‘past horizontal’ tackle by Mitchell and NOT ONE SIN BIN!
NOT ONE!!!
Suaali got sent OFF for his shoulder charge on Walsh in game one, but Mitchell left his feet and hit Walsh IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!! On report and a penalty was a ridiculous response!
Suaali also copped four weeks as a follow up, but Liam Martin led with his shoulder into DCE and Mitchell did the same with Walsh and everyone is talking as if they’re going to be playing in game 3!
Either Joe Suaali is owed a MASSIVE apology, or the NRL judiciary needs to step up and penalise the totally illegal tackles and hand out suspensions in keeping with his one.
Whatever happens, the claim that contact with the head is totally out of bounds is a myth as far as Origin II goes.
No consistency at all between premiership games and Origin means the whole thing is a load of BS.
shhh
Ask Johns if he will continue to attack Reece Walsh
Freddie looks tired
He's the coach he can talk however he wants...Well given the Blues are celebrating their dominance from Game 2 and mis-step in Game 1, now the Maroons are back against the walls and underdogs. haha heard that before and the results right...
NSW were back to their grubby best in game 2
It's ok little boy did someone steal your lunch money at school😅😅😅😅
Discipline always wins. Whoever gives away the least penalties/tackle restarts will win
NSW is overall a bigger, faster team than QLD's and that's a significant factor. QLD has trouble getting them to the ground in tackles AND challenging on high kicks. At this point home field advantage is all we have unless tactics can make a difference. 🤷♂
Interesting to hear that wally Lewis recommends a qld all in stink to throw the blues at suncorp... could work 🎉
Freddy is a good questionable guy but in coaching nsw he is a dead rubber..😂😂😂😂
So much of Origin is between the ears; I always fear complacency with NSW teams, as our media down here crow about one game before the series is over; fortunately, we have the Blues Mountains now. Magde is smart; get them out of Sydney. I look at Freddie and think, damn, he had all the best players and came up 3 of 6 in the number of series.
I know Madge won't be so-laid-back-Freddie.
decider at the cauldron, QLDRRRRR
New games
Wait... QLD lose, so the talk is now "Do we need to change the referee for game 3?" Haha what!? Freudian slip if ever I've seen one.
Haha made me chuckle but as a Blues fan I'd agree tbh.. always rated Adam Gee over Kleiny boy
Whys it always shocking QLD and not dominant NSW 😪
As a qld, nsw were running harder tackling harder, wanted drop balls harder ran harder and played harder and wanted it more just say that billy you already own some horrifc qld records 30 nil hald time who tf are you ? Picking jayden sui, val homes ?
Bring in Brimson and Fifita.
Did QLD adopt daylight saving last week and missed the start for the first half?
NSW wanted it more. It's so easy to see. Just like in game one in the woman's origin series. There's nothing wrong with the players' abilities. It's whoever wants it more determines the outcome more often than not, especially at that level.
