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

[Joel.M]

Ponga has saved Laurie Daleys job

 

[danknights]

Lol wtf just happened.

 

[jamesgould]

Tedesco man of the match
Only did 1 thing.

Think Ponga was the matchwinner tbh, unfortunately for him it was for the Blues!

 

[Macca89]

I’ll take it. Pulled that one out of our arse

 

[MattyM]

Cool. Now let’s never speak of that abomination again.

 

[Mclovin]

Shout out to Ashley Klien, he won this game
Go the blues!!

 

[Tim]

It's a hollow victory for me, that Ponga call was atrocious. We didn't deserve to win that, but happy to take it. Ref thought Ponga was wearing a knights jersey.

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as Aku'd]

Fire Loz and we take the series.

 

[Seano]

Definition of winning ugly.

TBF the Blues were coming back, do they come back to win with Ponga only binned? Probably not, but we'll never know.

Just enjoy the QLD butt hurt.

 

[Joel.M]

I swear to god if Teddy actually gets MOM...

It should be Blayke Brailey or Strange

 

[bremsstrahlung]

Gee this was a weird game to watch as a Knights fan.

Want the best for Ponga. Think he was harshly sent. Changed the game.

the neutral in me thinks that win is on Klein.

The Blue in me says suck it Queensland.

 

[Mclovin]

Seriously though, when was the last time a reff over ruled the bunker and with such a high grading in such a big game, it was a horrible call

 

[Seano]

Strange, Brayley and McClean were highlights for me. Critter was mostly diabolical, but showed glimpses with some key possessions; he must be playing injured.

 

[Mclovin]

Cleary got MOM no way no waay

 

[danknights]

Nathan Cleary the ghost getting MOTM. .

 

[bremsstrahlung]

Cleary POTM. Gee wizz.

The last 5-10 minutes was good, to his credit. But not much going on before that.

Took a send off to get us back into that game, not Cleary being great.

 

[Vagabond89]

Nathan Cleary the ghost getting MOTM. .

Setup the first try, scored one, 40/20. He carried that team home. What game did you watch?

 

[Seano]

AFB living on reputation. Barney is not much better. Be interesting to see how Haas goes this weekend.

An elite halfback would've had us 12 point winners when KP went off.

 

[Mclovin]

I do feel for Kayln, he got back into good form and worked his way back in the team and really he was killing the blues out there and if had stayed on he probably gets MOM
