Men State of Origin 2024
- Thread starter Still_Nutty
- Start date
Michael Maguire has done a very good job with the Blues I have to say. I wonder if Wests are regretting getting rid of him? They've won 11 out of 57 games since they sacked him.

The Knights should sign him and sack AOB.

Great win.
QLD front loaded their energy way too much with their brutal defence. But couldn't turn that in to points. Gassed out at the end of the game due to it.
Great win by the Blues and thats how you beat QLD, physical damage and take it too them.
Soo happy for Best he deserved that, powerful player.
And real happy for Barny, he might not get another shot at it, but to play in a game like that, beating QLD in a decider in QLD if that is his only Origin game, he got his money's worth.

Any Queenslanders in the chat, suck that.

Hot take: Brian To'o will retire as the best winger ever. Consistently very good and I've never seen him play poor in any game.
I think Barnett will get another shot for sure.

Queensland fans booed him in 2020. They didn't forgive him for backflipping the Titans to stay at Manly.All the Qld's have left and the NSW fans hang around to boo DCE

Haha, you're right. I thought he may have redeemed himself by captaining them to the past couple of series. But if it was indeed those of multiple heads which were booing him, they are more feral than I first thought.

Think he indicated no try but wanted to check it outLol, Klein seriously wanted to look at a penalty try for that

He clearly said that he was checking for a penalty try. Walsh fell over what, 30 metres out?

Walsh was missing all series. Granted he got no chance in game 1.

Angus Crichton a very deserving player of the series, but getting to run at Nanai rather than Fifita all game certainly helped.
Martin brutalised Capewell on the other edge too.
The worst players this series were Billy’s agenda picks: Those two back rowers and Cotter who again got picked out constantly and honestly should have been penalised in every tackle, ineffective contact followed by desperately holding down. Haas, Leniu, Yeo absolutely killed him.
Val Holmes had a rough old series.
But yeah if they ever decide to invent an opposite award to the WLM, “Jeremiah Nanai Medal” has a nice ring to it.

The way this post reads my mind, is a bit weird and creepy.
Nanai was invisible unless he was running third man in, and all I saw Cotter do was facials and rubbish after he'd been bumped off or trampled.
