2024 State of Origin Game 1

[Burgs]

Has been pretty low profile on here this year, but 15 minutes to telecast!

Suaalii sent off for dangerous high tackle. If he tackles like that in rugby he's going to spend his career on the sidelines.

It looked like he's already done some sessions with the Tahs.

Suaalii knocks Nathan Merritt off of the pedestal for worst NSW debut ever.

Walsh’s legs had already gone from under him, mitigating circumstances should have been a sin bin only.
Like usual any game Klein referees is borderline unwatchable. As soon as JS was sent off Walsh got up unassisted. A worthy Oscar performance.

10 for the Late
10 for the No Arms
10 for the High

Think it was a fair call by the Bunker.

I'm choosing to see the funny side of this meme...

Completely biased Blue, without commenting on Klein, and admittedly not a fan of Walsh (a mug lair without a trace of humility); you are spot on Chopper.A player who lays prone, eyes shut for that long does not pass a HIA and walk around like nothing happened.
Mitchell Moses can pack for the next camp, as can Matt Burton and Kotoni Staggs. I've lost no faith in this Blues team on tonight's effort.
Taking the positives - my SGM (anytime try scorers based) got up.

Why didn't you just say you're Joey Johns?

OK then. Burgs, you're Joey Johns.

Seriously though, I had the same opinion of him at a similar age. These days we know what was behind his actions.

Something resembling what Alisa Camplin would jump over?

Is this the big tough League we all hear about?

Origin coach shuts down ugly Walsh claim

Story by Martin Gabor

Queensland assistant coach Nate Myles has been spoken to by the NRL but avoided any punishment following his sideline altercation with NSW rookie Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, who was sent off for a high shot on Reece Walsh. (JEEZ!! WHAT DID HE SAY!!!!)

.....

Myles, who represented the Maroons 32 times and is now a part of Billy Slater’s coaching staff, reportedly told Suaalii “Hope you enjoyed your debut” as the centre walked towards the Accor Stadium tunnel. (............. oh ......... that's it????)

An official had to caution him at the time, with the NRL deciding against any further action for the spray. (Restrain him??? Oh, caution him...)

.....

FFS, going by commentary, if Slater was on the sideline he would have been hearing a tad more than that!!!

Huh?

no racial vilification?
no beating him over the head with a waterpipe?
no squiirel grip in full view of the TV cameras?

no wonder they're saying that game's gone soft.

Words hurt too you know...

I actually now prefer AFL over the mungoes!!!

Jeez it sucks watching Tonegato playing tonight...

Going by Wikipedia listings there are varying claims by Union (Wallaroos through Aus7's to Schoolgirl) to a minimum 6 Blues and 9 Maroons in this years Squads.

RA sure needs to sharpen its pencil on getting a viable and competitive option up asap or will be a generational issue like the Men's situation.
