Origin 2 – Bitter Rivals

Published by SJ under General

Well here we are, Origin 2 is on us and the Queenslanders have a huge battle on their hands. As a Queenslander I have several concerns being as follows.

Cameron Smith was dominated like a bitch. The Queenslanders are crying foul over the tactics of the NSW markers but I think we can expect the same thing from Bellamy’s men.

Jonathon Thurston didn’t really have much in attack, probably due a lack of go forward from our pack, but he will need to improve his game dramatically for us to have a chance. His kicking game will also need some improvement.

I am not sure about Darius Boyd on the wing but he has been picked so he better be ready.

Greg Inglis scored a pretty impressive try but I think he is over-rated to the max. Surely he should be able to do more than throw a ball backwards over his head, break a tackle, throw a step-dummy-through or put something into a gap but do SOMETHING!!

Dallas Johnson got knocked out as per normal and I don’t remember much else from him during game one. His opposite Paul Gallen is a very solid player so he is gonna have to do something special to get on top here.

The whinge, please oh please stop whinging Qld. It embarrasses me as a Queenslander and it annoys me that NSW think we are the kings of it. Mal Maninga is having a bigger cry than The whinge has and always will be NSW’s claim to fame.

It cruels me to say but the underdog status given to the Blues concerns me in a major way. It is enough for me to start yet another 16 leg all up million dollar challenge on them. So here we go $16 @ $2.20 for a return of $35.20.

Get on something!!
