So are they not doing the 6 player bench for the women’s game or is because it’s Origin it’s still just 17. You would think they’d just make it uniform across the board

Jesse clutching at Upton. Use your shoulders girl.

Looks like they are going to do an interviews with the coach during the game again this year.. yuck. I can handle interviews and stuff in the locker room but the coaches box is not the place to be, they need to be as switched on as the players, it would be like asking questions to players on the feild.

NSW keep hitting the miracle ball. Just get up the middle, turn someone underneath. Too much sideways.

 

[Billy]

High intensity, but a lot of errors - very rusty from both teams

 

[Macca89]

18 months out of the game and Millie Elliot hasn’t missed a beat. Looks fits as

 

[danknights]

Much better girls out there for second row then Tiana or half the roosters team for that matter. Jamie Chapman looks gassed but barely done anything

 

[Seano]

Only managed to listen to the 2nd half of the first half in the car on ABC radio; it didn't sound like NSW were particularly inspired.

 

[Newygirl]

Having Origin as the first game before they’ve even started doing pre-season training is so stupid. First game is always so error riddled. Probably lucky there hasn’t been more serious injuries from it

Could Strange have possibly squeezed any more Roosters players into that team
How is Berry not getting a run over Fressard

QLD look surprisingly good without Aiken. Kiria-ratu has a big boot for her size, there’s hardly anything of her

 

[Macca89]

really stupid playing games of origin before they’ve even played any NRLW games.

 

[danknights]

Nah kept throwing the miracle ball. I think NSW feels they can just run over Qld with experience. Lots of dropped ball in good ball from NSW aswell. Chapman is a highlights reel girl. Needs to learn to shorten her running style.

Only managed to listen to the 2nd half of the first half in the car on ABC radio; it didn't sound like NSW were particularly inspired.

TV commentators are talking it up as much as they can, but both sides are having error after error.
It happens every year - SOO out of season is a bad idea.

 

[danknights]

Can we get liv Kernick on an edge. At 13 she just hasn't a clue what she is doing.

 

[mozza]

NSW need more Keeley Davis throwing the ball to players ankles if they want a competitive series.

 

[Seano]

The second half was pretty enjoyable. NSW, well on top probably should have scored more points. Good result though.
