I’m shocked Selwyn Cobbo wasn’t selected! His performance in Game 1 was stunning!
Agree he had a great game in Origin I. Slater said he was overlooked because he’s been carrying in injury in the last couple of Broncos games.
NSW 46 - QLD 4
Not often you see a scoreline like that in Origin, but a great win to the Women’s U19 tonight!
More of that next week please!
And a double for the Blues tonight.
The NSW Men’s U19 winning 14-10 as well.
Both games were great to watch as well. Definitely some NRL and NRLW players of the future on show tonight.
The NRL will need to announce who the 4 teams and dates for Vegas 2025 will be soon so fans can book travel etc… as early March will be here before we know it!
The whole thing is just an incredibly pointless endeavour to me. America isn’t going to fall in love with rugby league - and all you are doing is creating a getaway weekend for fans from Australia (or NZ), which is fine but a little capitalistic.
I’m happy for it, it’s something different and is supposedly only for 5 years… I’d love to go and see my Sharkies play when it’s their turn.
Again, the Vegas thing is purely to promote the sport to bettors.
Yeah, I recall V’Landys stating that he wants to get 1% of American sports betting market… though I think he needs to shift the decimal point left a few places!
Sadly yes - and the scourge of sports betting spreads further.
Maybe they should give Hawaii a go instead. It isn’t as far away and maybe there might be more potential they will get involved with the sport.
Police have charged a man for allegedly sending a threatening game-day text message to leading NRL referee Adam Gee.
The grand final ref was preparing to drive to Accor Stadium last Friday to control the Broncos v Rabbitohs match when he received the alarming message.
Gee reported the incident to stadium security staff and the NRL integrity unit, who then notified the police.
How they got his number is something I’d like to know? Was there some Doxxing happening here?
Former NRL star Jarryd Hayne has won an appeal against his convictions for raping a woman
I imagine this will now pave the way for a sizable compensation claim from Hayne?
Somethings in the water for NSW tonight! Finally working as a team.
It’s been an amazing performance, you’d think it was a whole different team. No one would have seen this coming.
Game gone for QLD now at 34 zip.
I think probably the most dominant half of football in Origin history.
You wouldn’t dare make any changes for Game 3.
Except through injory.
I’ll be interested to see what Slater does with QLD. Does he make wholesale changes, or pick and stick. A lot depends on the 2nd half.
