Meh, it is very easy to manage spoilers if people wanted to. The game was a cracker even if the refereeing was bizarre - harsh penalties for a while and then ignoring all sorts later on when things didnt get better. Some outstanding tries and play, but once again, the magic moment of the match winning try was somewhat ruined by being sent to the VR for no real reason. The Aussie referee system really is the pits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattrhino Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 That Qld try was a double movement all day long. My one complaint about the Aussie game is how they ignore rules or interpret them differently on a whim and sometimes chamge intereptation from one week to the next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd advice from somebody who surely wants traffic to the site if you ask me. Some people will only watch the game late tonight and should be able to nip onto a British RL forum. I personally think forums like this should have repercussions for spoilers in titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattrhino Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 He is flat on the floor 5m infront of the line then gets on his knees and elbows and propels forward then lifts his arm. Sure there looked to be some momentum but without his movement you cant be sure it would have gone over. it was a text book double movement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunbar Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 A really good game to watch as it was on a knife edge at the end. Have to admire the Queensland team in this one, after drubbing in game 2 and then NSW pulling out to a 12 point lead they could have thrown in the towel but they didn't and came roaring back into the game. Overall this series was fast and skilful as we always get from State of Origin. The dangerous runners were the stars of the series, Tesdesco, Munster, Cook and Trbojevic while the forward battle was intense. The only area below recent quality was at half back... the likes of Maloney, Pearce and Cherry-Evans are good but they are not in the same class as Cronk and Thurston and with an average age of 31 they are not exactly new kids on the block.

Good ! We've a better chance of beating the Aussies if their half backs aren't as good as the last lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave T Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I thought some of the forwards were average too, particularly on the Maroon side. The likes of Tedesco though are frighteningly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
