Walsh slipped and Sualii sent off. Some of us have short memories.
That 40/20 kick in the wet from Cleary was a pearler.
I remember when we complained Suali send off cost us the game and QLD were like you can’t blame the reff Suali is the one who cost you the game😂
Look idk about a send off but Ponga literally made 0 attempt to wrap with the arms and he was the second man in on a tackle where someone was blitzing down the sideline. It was a reckless play, an accident sure, but reckless.
Casey McLean, Ethan, Sam Walker, Blayke, and Tolu are absolute players 🔥 The game is definitely in good hands.
casey mclean is the man， zero error under high ball， run hard and tackle hard， super debut，should get a spot in game two
Honestly why did they give this game to Klein. This was what everyone was worried about. NSW Fan.
Get that up ya QLD. Go the Blues 💙💙💙
Tactical loss by QLD to keep Laurie in
STRANGE BRAILEY AND MCLEAN ALL BUILT FOR ORIGIN🔥
Klein actually argued against the bunker to have Ponga sent off. I don't think I've ever seen a ref argue against the bunker's call.
How was McClean he was just ruthless
Ash Klein arguing with the bunker that he wanted Ponga sent off the field was odd? What’s the point of going to the Bunker in the first place?
One of the great finishers of the Game getting it done. O.G Tedesco 👑
If Suaalii was a send off two years ago - Pongas is absolutely a send off. I don't think either should have been sent off but you have to be consistent.
Watch Klein be all QLD in game 2 to square it up.
Damn! Congrats Blues. Lets go QLD, game 2.
I stayed behind at work to watch the end of this game . At dinner, I thought nsw were done . Great game 🎉
Kalyn Ponga deserved that send off. The duty of care of any player in any team was breached. That’s a clear, send off.
I started watching at 2nd half the score was 6-20, and I was like oh NSW are gonna lose BIG TIME. Then we made the biggest comeback in history. WHAT. A . GAME . ( btw I am a nsw supporter) 🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂 edit : I changed my spelling mistakes 😂😂😅😅( well I think ) 😂
