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

[MattyM]

Imagine letting Trent Loiero of all players score against you. Overrated.

 

[danknights]

not going to get invited back with efforts like that

I mean he has been tackling absolutely everything at the moment but that's origin. Playing on the wrong side unfortunately

 

[jamesgould]

Radley close to fulfilling a few sinbin predictions there haha.

 

[MattyM]

Ashley Klein is so fkn soft. How’s that high?

 

[danknights]

Oh my word. Cleary should've hit dyl with the short ball then. Wouldn't went over virtually untouched.

 

[KPGreatness]

Not a playmaker in sight, attacking the line and not even a shot fired, Lucas needs to get about 200% more involved he is doing nothing Haumole couldn’t do.

This is gonna be a loss I think, halves running around with no clue

 

[slotmachine]

that half was a snoozer, klein needs to start rewarding the team winning contact with a quick PTB.

try from dropped ball and deflected kick isn't exactly champagne rugby league

 

[Macca89]

Not scoring at the end of the half there is gonna bite us in the ***. Dunno why they keep passing out the back. Lucas hits a good hole.

 

[Joel.M]

What is the gameplan? Why are the halves playing so side to side

We need a proper coach fast

 

[slotmachine]

Why are the halves playing so side to side

No speed in the ruck so they're getting frustrated. Not really sure what the answer is tbh.

 

[MattyM]

Lucas needs to get about 200% more involved he is doing nothing Haumole couldn’t do.

Not a lot he can do when his clueless halves keep hitting inside balls to kill the play.

Lucas is in the picture wanting the ball, Cleary just keeps going inside ball or cutting him out to get to Staggs as quick as possible.

 

[frankLauda]

So it’s Cleary not going to him or Lucus out of position? Might be a bit lost playing the right.

 

[Die Hard]

Cleary definitely not a good representative player, only a good club player. He does a job but doesn't learn his other players or trust them.

 

[jamesgould]

Well it will take Queensland by surprise if they now go to him in the second half, so maybe it's a long game from Cleary.

 

[Mclovin]

No Cleary is definitely going past Lucas to let Staggs have early ball, wish he would hit Lucas a little more

 

[Sheent14]

So it’s Cleary not going to him or Lucus out of position? Might be a bit lost playing the right.

He's running alot of decoys for the team. Not really out of position so far.

 

[danknights]

Dyl credited with 22 tackles. I've counted at least 35 tackle involvements.

 

[Billy]

fair chance Dyl will be replaced when the starting props go back on - they'll move one of those experienced guys to second row - they all have big minutes in them.

 

[listo]

Like the Knights, a change of coach and Dylan will be even more valuable. I do think they will lose this series and Laurie the ****wit is gone
