Men’s State of Origin Game 2 2026 - The Blues Vs The Maroons - 8:05pm Wednesday 17th June - MCG

Also, if was a Tigers fan, I'd be beside myself RN. They're a team that is desperate to play finals after a decade. They started the season well but fell in a hole with Api's suspension and injuries...now they're trying to get back on track but they lose Api to Origin only for Loz not to play the bloke when clearly NSW desperately need him on the park.
 
Was an ordinary performance by Blues, need some changes, few players dominated, actually none, man for man QLD were better even in first half but excelled in second half. Pack needs sorting out so we can dominate middle.
Bottom line is we need a new coach who will pick a strong all round side
 
Love dyl, but I think he had a bad night unfortunately. He’ll cop far more criticism than warranted but he did have a couple of bad missed tackles.
Not sure what Laurie does with this lot for game 3, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s minimal changes to be honest. I don’t think Daley’s got any answers.

We get one back, and Loz still doesn't go to his bench....at this point I think he's just trolling.

Every time they cross to Daley in the box he looks like he is traumatised and frozen for directions for the team. I can see why they put Bellamy in there with him last season.
Unfortunately Laurie has been found out as a coach who has no real coaching experience and therefore unable to use muscle memory in the box.
It is overtime to replace him with someone who knows the ropes and who know what they are doing.
But definitely not Ennis please.
 
It literally doesn’t matter who gets picked. Madge won a series starting Jurbo at prop. What matters is if the coach knows why he’s picking someone. If he has a plan for them. Laurie doesn’t.

You could give him Joey, Bedsy, Fittler and his own damn self - what a player. Throw in Brett Kenny, ET, Lazo, Chief, BK. Stack the deck in his favour as much as possible. He’d find a way to lose.

Queensland win a tame decider 36-20 after leading 24-0 at half time.
 
Lucky Klein sent Ponga in the first game or this would’ve been one of the most one sided series in recent memory.

NSW can’t compete with QLD’s speed and creativity. Game 3 will be uglier than Tonie Carroll unless some huge changes are made.
 
The whole attacking structure of Daley and how he has set NSW up is ordinary
He has made same mistake as other coaches and got the team to play like Penrith, they need to be more like a Knights/Dolphins/Qld and just play footy
Up 12-2 through boy of luck but they were playing footy,then shut up shop and could never re gain momentum
Cleary is still just worthy of being there but if any other injuries instead of strange Into halves gotta be Katoa from dolphins

The way the played is why Lucas couldn’t get into the game and he already getting g hounded by people saying he was useless, but he made like 40 tackles with 1 miss and that was after Staggs already missed hammer and he tried to get him for the qld first half try

Let him be on the left and if not put him to bench and impact him against tired forwards

To’o has been great servant but finally qld have just picked players to jump over him and we have given up too much easy ball 5-10m out

But nothing will change till we lose next game and we get a new coach for next year
