Toia/Shiba is the worst centre combo in Origin history. Crichton and Latrell should destroy them.

Mmmm it’s that attitude though that’s dangerous. Thinking it should be a walk on the park and getting hammered with your pants down. Happens every week in this game.

As long as the blues get a fair shake this time with penalty’s im pretty confident we win and win pretty well, 12+ but it is Klein as the ref so its prob gonna be another whistle fest
 
Moley reporting Loz went to NRL HQ to have it out with the refs after the penalty count against the Blues got to 9-nil at one stage.

Tim Sheens used to do this. I think he had to after Klein's last performance; hopefully, it works. Whilst I don't doubt that those 9 penalties were mostly correct, we all saw QLD doing the same things and bizarrely getting a pass from Klein.

Anyway, well done to Loz for not passively rolling over to the QLD narrative.

PS. I don't mind if NSW lose (well, I do, but) as long as it's decided by the players.

Shibasaki sucked at multiple clubs and was genuinely awful for us. It’s ridiculous to say it’s any sort of fault on our part.

Tom Jenkins clearly just works better at Penrith and was missing the place, but I’d hardly say he’s set the world on fire, he’s just been solid.

Mann and King were both good for us. Imo we upgraded Mann with Crossland now playing much the same role, and King it’s a shame we didn’t keep.

I’m not saying we did that to him, I thought it was a face palm signing when he did sign. My point is, Madge cops a fair bit of **** in the press, but he’s shown over the years he can get the best out of players that other coaches can’t. Shiba is his best example yet.

Oh nah, totally agreed with your post.

I’m actually stoked for him and hope he goes well on Wednesday! Great to see him find some success. He did always try for us, effort wasn’t lacking, but he just made so many blunders. So I hold nothing against him at all.
 
It feels like NSW is being set up here with the "magic of QLD" narrative now leaning heavily into the sad news for Cam Munster.

I hope Klein calls a fair game, but I'm taking QLD with the points I think.
 
Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if the Blues get a thumping.

What’s our track record like at Accor?
 
In the past ten game 3 deciders the away team have won 1 game.

It has been 43 years since Queensland lost game 1 and won an away game 3 decider in Sydney!
 
Big game for many reasons but especially for Laurie if he loses this he should never be considered for the role ever again as he would be what 1-6?
