Men’s State of Origin Game 1 2026 - The Blues Vs The Maroons - 8:05pm Wednesday 27th May - Accor Stadium

[Battler]

Lololololol.

 

[MattyM]

Worst challenge in the history of rugby league.

I legit wonder if Loz even knows who Jackson Ford is.

He's picked AFB and Radley because he's heard of them.

I don't think he even knows who Casey McLean is.

Ford and May should have been picked over Barnett and AFB. Radley a dumb selection also.

Sam Walker has thoroughly outplayed Cleary, and i'm not surprised.

Sam Walker has thoroughly outplayed Cleary, and i'm not surprised.

Cleary is the product of media hype and a extremely specific system, Walker is showing him how it’s actually done

 

[jamesgould]

Ok, Ponga's gone for Saturday lol.

 

[Joel.M]

KP is an idiot

Now hes gone for weeks

Not surprised either. Walker more inclined to play what's front of him which I think suits Origin more and Cleary too structured and struggles to play outside of Panther ball.

 

[bremsstrahlung]

Oh dear

 

[MattyM]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck sake KP.

 

[KPGreatness]

Clear shoulder charge get him gone

 

[jamesgould]

Cut on his ear will help him, but there did seem to be a hint of shoulder there. Would assume at least a week off.

 

[JOJO82]

The game is soft.....it was a clear head clash.

 

[Seano]

Definite sin bin, send off harsh. Ash Klein is making it about himself again. Hope the MRC sees it the same way.

 

[Macca89]

Wonder if Ponga will miss some games for this

 

[MattyM]

Haumole the myth.

 

[Sarge]

Not surprised either. Walker more inclined to play what's front of him which I think suits Origin more and Cleary too structured and struggles to play outside of Panther ball.

To be fair , our forwards suck

 

[danknights]

It's all bracing in my eyes. Hard to wrap arms in that instance. I'm sorry but that's a joke of a send off.

 

[Billy]

Head clash - it was a shoulder charge, but all the damage was done head on head.

 

[krustykraz]

Was there any shoulder to the head?
