Men’s State of Origin Game 3 2026 - The Blues Vs The Maroons - 8:05pm Wednesday 8th July - Suncorp Stadium

[jamesgould]

Queensland looked very complacent, just expected to show up and win it.

NSW played with a lot of passion and purpose. A well deserved series win!!!

Winners have parties. Losers have meetings.

Enjoy that fat L, QLD.

Best should be an automatic choice at centre from now on. Bet he's not though

As much as Latrell is the most damaging player in the game, the dude legit can not string 4 games together without injury. At some point you have to just acknowledge Bradman is more likely to stay fit and has brained it every time he’s gotten a chance.

And Bradman is legit one of the rare Blues who has the passion for his state you associate more with Queenslanders. Can imagine he fires the other blokes up.

Bradman lapping this up

 

[Seano]

I reckon Bradman's game sense has really developed too, he's way more awake to opportunities and threats than he was in past seasons and getting rewarded for effort. Good on him.

 

[Seano]

Running up the score in Melbourne definitely didn't help QLD.

 

[bremsstrahlung]

So happy for Bradman.

Now, if you could just sign this…multi year extension!!

Might have been Lozza playing 4D chess?!

 

[HarVeeGee13]

Crazy series. If I told you that the pattern of the series would be that one side would look way better in games 1 & 2, but those first two games would be split - one hiding by the better team, one fluke win by the worse one - followed by the side that has looked worse all series out-enthusing a bewilderingly flat opponent in the decider… who would you assume won?

 

[HarVeeGee13]

Love that Billy’s idiotic selections finally bit him in the arse. Capewell was so dog****.

You know who looked really scary was Plath, he’s like if Cotter was good.

 

[HarVeeGee13]

God Mary Fowler is stunning. Nathan’s not leading a tough life is he.

 

[Macca89]

All the Queenslanders have bailed

All the Queenslanders have bailed

The only thing better then lifting the shield is lifting it at Suncorp

 

[Seano]

Loz got to lift the shield in QLD as a player and now as a coach. Credit to him.

 

[Mclovin]

Crazy that Laurie out coached Billy, how good! I have to say QLD (thankfully) did not use Kayln correctly in this game.

 

[KriKri]

One of the great games from Cleary. Well deserved and earns his place among the all time greats.
One of the great I told you so’s from Laurie.

Love to see KP get flattened dirty Queenslander

God Mary Fowler is stunning. Nathan’s not leading a tough life is he.

I can't get past the eyebrows. Not my cuppa tea but hey. Someone out there for everyone. I seriously wouldn't trade my wife for anybody.

She’s not attractive at all. But has some skills and cash!

I said to the wife, why wouldn't he just go to the ESL (maybe Catalans), earn great money, be with his partner, his parents can help with the kids etc. I'd spend my Australian winters in the south of France in a heartbeat.
