State of Origin State of Origin 2025 - Game 3

I genuinely think that munsters father passing had an effect on NSW, I imagine alot of them were disappointed to lose but happy for him to have that win. And Laurie's a shitcunt for picking Stefano over may.

There's a lot of factors to consider.

1) Dearden is a halfback, which few people called.
2) Big Papa was the steady, old head that the helped Tino channel his emotional play into heavy hitting.
3) Hammer is the FB that Billy should have picked from day dot. Ponga and Walsh just ain't it for this team.
4) Capewell, enough said.
5) Daley picked big names. Billy researched players and wasnt afraid to change a winning team.
6) QLD players backed their coach to a fault.

Munster didn't even play his best game. Everyone else did.

Your #5 point about Daley not picking form players was correct - a big lesson there .
Perhaps this also applies to picking the Penrith players ? They are now starting to hit their straps but this wasn’t the case the earlier on when SoO kicked off?

Young should have started over Crichton.
Yeo and Cleary's skill set are suited to structured teams, not origin.
Choosing King and Utoiokumanu were dumb.

Just speculating, but I think Penriths issue was readjustment that was inevitable when JFH and Luai left.

They've figured it out now (dammit).
