There is a noticable lack NSW supporters on here.
i love the fact the NSW players are blaming the refs instead of the dropped ball and bad decisions made during the game, like going for a penalty goal they missed instead of applying pressure and most likely scoring. they had Qld going backwards at the time and even Ricky showed it was a stupid call....lol
Jennings deserved 10 minutes, it was a grub act and anyone who says it wasn't needs to have a hard look at themselves IMHO, saying it's ok because it's Origin is B.S...... a grub act is a grub act. Farah instinctively threw his foot out to stop the try, it's the reason the ball was dislodged and if he didn't do it GI would have scored anyway. did it go forward off Farahs foot, yes....but if he'd stripped the ball by hand and it did that we get the ball and it'd be ok, so how's the foot differant?
When the video ref looks at a reply that many time he is looking for a reason to award the try. That has been a knock on since 1908 to quote the great Peter Sterling and Jennings sin binning was dispicable. How can some be sin binned for being the third man in when there was already 5 QLD there, 3 of which had already thrown punches.
Also the dangerous lift tackle that was given against Greg Bird in the first half whaen NSW was all over QLD, then in the 2nd half he gets lifted and slammed on his back just the same way he did the QLDer and wait no penalty, not only that he lands on his neck which forced him from the field. So now whose was more dangerous.
Congrats to QLD for winning the game, however the game is in a bad way if this is the best they can do with the referees. If they had game like that in the NRL they would be dropped to NSW or QLD cup.
Disclaimer. I am from NSW. I only watch 3 games of rugby league a year, having said that I played for NSW school boys and had a contract with the now defunct gold coast giants. I live in Townsville. Rubgy Union isnt quite as bad I will watch super rugby. Football, (soccer) is the game I now play and support.
