Men’s State of Origin Game 3 2025 - The Blues Vs The Maroons - 8:05pm Wednesday 9th July - Accor Stadium

[Battler]

Grant is so much better than Robson it's criminal.

I wouldn't have picked Robson, don't know what the hype with him is.

 

[Mclovin]

Moses or Katoa for halfback next year, we need to move away from this Panthers style of football

 

[Defence wins games]

And that ball could have gone anywhere, but QLD get it right where they need it. Pffft.

QLD are doing everything faster and better and NSW are predictable and at times responding in panic.
The half time score reflect the game and unless Laurie can get something different going for the second half, this could be a cricket score.
Grant’s try on half time was Raquel parts skill and determination, and NSW tiring defence.

 

[listo]

10 all second half for a 30-10 win to QLD. Laurie to take the second half as a positive for next year.

 

[Defence wins games]

Woeful goal line defence from the Blues.

The Blues have not turned up tonight.

QLD have really worked over NSW defence very effectively in the first half.
I can’t see a miracle comeback, but I guess anything is possible!

 

[jamesgould]

I predicted a comeback in the game two thread at halftime, but not tonight. NSW are miles off the pace and look like they just can’t be bothered.

Who would be hooker? Api is the only one I can think of and he’s been out

 

[Battler]

Who would be hooker? Api is the only one I can think of and he’s been out

I'd have Wayde Egan ahead of Robson, but I'm not a 39% win rate Origin coach.

 

[MattyM]

Nathan Cleary the new Mitchell Pearce.

 

[danknights]

Give me an old school chip and chase. Qld up in faces. Kick early FFS. Try something!

 

[EASBay17]

Nathan Cleary the new Mitchell Pearce.

Wrong option after wrong option

 

[jamesgould]

NSW actually are looking like the Knights. Even their attempts to throw the ball around are clunky as heck. Have these players met before?

 

[EASBay17]

I cant understand why there has been no real attempt to target shiba in defense.

 

[Seano]

Come on Blues.

 

[danknights]

Definitely been on the beers. Steven looked like he was stuck in mud.

 

[Seano]

Geez, that angle gives a really different impression of how hard that kick was. Well done Zac. Come on you Blues!!

 

[HarVeeGee13]

One thing I’m really really noticing in this game: Luai, who makes $1.2 million a year, can only pass the ball effectively in one direction…

 

[Seano]

Cam Smith still hates NSW getting a penalty, and that was a clear penalty Mann is making no effort to clear the ruck, NSW is obstructed.

 

[Seano]

Smith is still at it, Toia cleary rolls Trell into touch there...maybe the comeback is on?

 

[MattyM]

Hudson Young, classic flop at origin level.
