State of Origin: Game I - NSW v QLD (Adelaide)

[hunsletgreenandgold]

Couldn't see there was a match thread in here for the game and i'm sure there will be a few of us 'WFH' and watching it live this morning! 

I'm going NSW by 10.

Here’s hoping we can keep this a positive thread.

Go Blues! 
 

NSW by 4

Isn’t this normally done in the Australian Forum Section?

Just thinking that a thread here might spoil the game for those who are recording to watch after work is all?

I couldn't see a game thread in there and if i'm honest I don't think it gets that much attention, as a sub forum. I'd hope anyone who is watching it later and doesn't want to know the score would be wise enough to maybe not click in here, if they're avoiding the score? I've made it pretty clear what it is

Fair enough - I have no dog in the race  in this match.

Who are you supporting?

[Anita Bath]

Gotta be Queensland…need something to warm us up. Its been snowing up here this week (yes snowing in Queensland) for those of you who are worried about global warming.

I've always gone for NSW, with no more rhyme or reason than when I was a kid I thought they sounded more British with Wales in the name ....and I always preferred their jersey. 30 years on and many Maroons hammering later I feel very invested as an honoury New South Welshman!

You’d think a thread titled State of Origin Game 1 might prevent that.

[Davo5]

C’mon the Blues.

BBC Five Live Sports Extra are taking the ABC Grandstand commentary, for those who can't get to a TV.

See you on the actual match thread.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Maroons by 6

That was set up after mine.........

[Josef K]

Id have to find out if they hired out binoculars at the stadium if i had been at the game. 

[Sports Prophet]

Where’s the urgency from Tedesco?

[hunsletgreenandgold]

Yeah commentators saying that was because Tedesco was up in the line...i'm not so sure. Reckon he thought they were playing out to his left and gambled. Looked way too easy.

Maybe we have the threads merged and pinned to the General forum page???

[hunsletgreenandgold]

This is looking ominous already. Blues have come out with aggression but terrible discipline.

[bromleybulldog]

NRL obviously not signed up to attacks to the head being illegal based on Addo Carrs attack on Walsh and Kleins totally ignoring it

 

[Davo5]

Two dumb penalties followed by poor defence & the Maroons run in 2 tries.

[hunsletgreenandgold]

NSW have to score next or this could already been slipping away 

[hunsletgreenandgold]

What a pass and line run by Martin! Game on! 

[Davo5]

Great line by Martin.

[Davo5]

Queensland with some outstanding defence in that first 40.

Why are NSW playing in an all dark blue kit instead of their traditional & iconic light blue jerseys ??

[hunsletgreenandgold]

Decent first half - NSW should be leading considering all the pressure they had in the second part of the half. As a side note, Darren Lockyer interviewing Ben Hunt was the best advert for Strepsils I've ever seen
