You’re not allowed to do that, that’s slavery.
As a Dolphins Fan i’m very happy with how we have been playing the last month or so.. in the last 5 games we’ve had, we have put 228 points on our opponents and scored 50 or more 3 times. trying to keep my hopes down but we are coming good at the right time

As a Knights supporter i’m not upset about the Queensland aspect. In fact at the risk of being selfish i hope he switches his alligence. Cause i think deep down he wants to play for the Kiwis but the Origin paydays are too lucrative to pass up.
I’m over Ponga a little bit. Very much a rocks and diamonds player.

Apart from the first 5 mins or so, NSW were awful in that first half, left hand side defence has torn to shreds.
QLD deserve their 20-0 half time lead. Cleary again MIA for NSW, needs to be better at Origin level.
Blues sucking harder than the latest Dyson vaccum cleaner.

They’ve played better in the 2nd 40, but the damage was done with that insipid first 40.
Well done QLD, coming from 1-0 down to win the series.

NSW scored two late tries but the result was beyond doubt.
Queensland won 24-12 tonight in front of a crowd of 80,256, and became State of Origin champions for the 25th time, avenging last year’s loss. It is also the first time in SOO history that the Maroons clinched a series win with back-to-back victories on the road after losing game 1 on home soil.
Tom Dearden was named Nine’s player of the match and also the Wally Lewis medallist.

Hopeless. Just hopeless.
NSW did the same thing last year.
This is also the second straight series where neither team won their home game (this also occurred in 1998 and 2009).

Penrith Panthers and NSW Blues star Nathan Cleary is preparing to take legal action after discovering his likeness had been manipulated by artificial intelligence and printed on flyers left on hundreds of cars at the State of Origin decider in Sydney.
As first reported by The Sydney Morning Herald, the NSW halfback has engaged legal representation and plans to pursue both civil and criminal avenues against those responsible for the unauthorised and misleading use of his image.
The flyers, found on windscreens in the P1 carpark at Sydney Olympic Park following Queensland’s series-clinching win at Accor Stadium, featured an AI-generated image resembling Cleary, dressed in a Blues jersey with his arm around a similarly AI-fabricated woman.
The flyer read: “Way to go Blues! I knew you had rizz! I’m taking this one home!” A small disclaimer at the bottom revealed the flyer was “printed a week ago” – a detail that only added to the confusion since the Blues had, in fact, lost.

This is not going to be good news for the NRL if this Saudi Rugby 360 comp gets up, with players being offered up to $3 mil a year.
But we’ve seen other players leave for rugby/Super League before and good new players have come through in their place.
