Legends have their say on the polarising Suaalii Origin send off 

Yes 13plus for me

This hit reminds me of when Michael Croker said Billy Slater tried to take credit for knocking out Brett Stewart in the 2007 Grand final. No penalty or sin binning. A real journalist would ask Slater about his taking credit for such an incident to expose the hypocrisy in the current opinions today

@@mok1757 If a QLD defender knocked out a NSW player you'd be sitting here carrying on saying that it should've been a send off

Maybe NSW could learn a thing of two from a QLD 20 man squad instead of bringing in a 21 man squad

So glad this comment is the first one seen in this thread

💯 he's been doing it for years!

Wasn’t the same at all. James ducks. Walsh was passing. Very different

Absolutely. It ruins it for spectators though. Maybe they should try penalising the player and not the team, by allowing a replacement and making the consequences harsher for the individuals Then penalise the team if say, there are three occurrences.

So you should be happy, right. It was a send off. What is the point of your comment as a "nsw supporter". It was a send off, wasn't it?

They were better than all these rookie one hit wonders...

Ofc they were good against 12 men They had ashley too Any team would win against 12 men all game cmon

Cherry Evens got man of the match, and well deserved.

@@haxkgudhue4475 Cherry Evens had already started to dominate within the first 4 minutes.

Liam Martin had a great game aswell

Worst origin ever , sualli ruined it for everyone

I’m a QLD fan and it didn’t feel like an origin game. Didn’t feel right being the favourite.

As a QLD fan I reckon Luai had a good game. Even though I don’t like his antics he was very unpredictable and dangerous at time and was probably NSW top 4 players alongside Liam Martin, Critta and Lomax.

The first tackle was a dud. They stopped and let the player run at him. Origin ain’t origin

They would have been better off with Luai at 7 calling the shots and Hynes at 6. Luai looked right up for it, Hynes looked out of his depth. The whole Jake thing was odd. If he's such a good defender when what we needed were good defenders, why leave him off the field for so long?

He was a worse coach than Madge. Madge picked the right players. Freddy picked guys cause he was all buddy buddy and they played like it.

​@I_Negan_I he picked a decent team could have been better sure

@@I_Negan_Igonna be funny when Madge brings in latrell for the next game

Secretly he wants nsw to lose to show look it's the players which they do play the game

@@hansoloburger2322 Latrell not the problem. Freddy doesn’t know how to coach talent. The 2021 series win was basically a stacked Blues team just winning on shear talent. When you see this 2024 side, you got guys that some wouldn’t pick but they play with passion for NSW like Lomax and Leniu. Like how many people would actually have Leniu on their Origin list who was suspended 8 weeks?? Yet Leniu was the best player off the bench who was millimetres from scoring a try if it wasn’t for the Hammer making a great save. Madge knows how to coach, Freddy not so much.

Lol what a fuckin stupid comment.

Dumb comment

I turned the game off, and I won't watch footy again. Why didn't dude who near spear tackled Tedesco get sent? Very similar in dangerous contact. Qld are a protected species.

Dumber comment​@@brucefale6132

Lomax was good, too. The weak links unfortunately were Hynes and Tedesco. Hynes is a great bloke but his defense is found out at this level, and he was all at sea tonight. His kicking game was terrible, and I lost count of the number of times he was tackled in possession because he didn't know what to do. He's not a bad player, but the praise for him the last two years has been over the top. He hasn't even won a finals game. And last year was a year too many for Tedesco, and tonight was two years too many. He's not the player he was four years ago, but he spends the whole game trying to pretend he is. He hogged the ball all night, just like game 1 last year, and did nothing with it expect stifle the attack. He's just ruining his legacy now.

Agree with both of you, my thoughts exactly...... Hynes over rated, good at club level but that's it. Should bring in Luke Keary or Moses as halfback next game, and drop Tedesco (past his use by date) for Dylan again. No way Tedesco should play origin again. Madge to shuffle his reserve bench better. Not sure that Jake T should be Captain imo. Bring back Adocarr on wing again, he won't let anybody down in origin.

@@daleviker5884 I think there was little other choice than to pick those 2. Had Papenheyzen or Tommy been fit and firing they would have been my choices for No 1. Luai should have been the 7 IMO. He looked right up for it and was far more dangerous than Hynes who looked a bit overwhelmed. I think at 6 without the pressure of calling the shots he might have gone better. Lomax was f**king awesome.

@@daleviker5884 As a Qlder, why didn't they take the ball to Lomax's way more often? He looked dangerous

Yeah,just replace Hynes.he can't even run the ball and create opportunities.he just passes and kicks.the Blues need a halfback who can run the ball.

It was so quick, I don't think he could have pulled out.

I agree, it was a deliberate hit , not a tackle. Suallii is sick in his head. He should never be allowed to play again, even in union

​@Mr_Roast you can see his left arm make a small attempt, but his right arm remains completely stationary

@@Mr_Roast Rubbish, the Shoulder was way out in front.

he always is, the guy is a unique player and at times he can do some pretty cool stuff on the field.

Walsh slipped - need to watch the footage again mate 😢

Susli launched an uncontrolled missile at Walsh No other option than gone

What kind of "benefit" to Qld is to lose your best attacking player by a knock out regardless of no malice.

Yeah I agree qld was going to win anyway I felt

@@shawntts2803 Maybe , maybe not. We'll never know.

Yes , Qld to strong. I saw all the blues commentary in this week leading up saying nsw will win etc typical

​@@MaxKurth-cs8dtthe series isn't over yet moron, lmao 😅

Nsw was strong with 12 until they got understandably tired at the 65 min mark. Moses for Hynes. Edwards for tedesco.

@@MaxKurth-cs8dtyes and in qld everybody always says qld will win.. that’s what you do when you support a team.. if your from nsw then you will probably say nsw will win. Don’t know why that surprises you so much.

you cannot take it away from Qld, as they can play our great game, NSW need to replicate what their formula is, Passion and belief

and so young , they rush them back too quick

alot of the time he's faking it though, he's the best at milking anything, he stayed down in the gf alot and it cost the broncos dearly (allowed for another drop out)

way less than ponga

How can it be intentional if he is hitting Walsh at chest height? Walsh slipping was the biggest factor to him getting hit in the head. Saying it was intentional means you think he saw Walsh and thought im going to shoulder this blokes face. ridiculous take.

how is it a shoulder charge if he wrapped his arm? that was perfect tackling form just a shame walsh slipped last second

@@jaromeasdale7157he barely even slips low wouldn’t of made a difference

​@jaromeasdale7157 He was gonna smash walsh on that play, whether he got the ball or not. Can easily see he was going for a massive hit, didn't open his arms to actually grab him, didn't try wrapping up the ball - instead he lowered his body purely to get the most out of his shoulder charge.. he 100% had intention to hurt and put walsh out of the game... quite sad really

The coach told him to iron out Walsh, no doubt about it.

Yes, that was definte and well done, Madge 😂😂

Thats every teams plan when they play Walsh is to bash Walsh 😂

That was the way the kiwis used to play in a test match, I mean decades ago, it never worked, really surprised at the lack of imagination by NSW, or Queensland is just too good!

it's always their plan, to rough up guys of their game.

If that hit was legit, Walsh still goes off. It would have busted him up!

Yeah bro I agree I’m a sharks supporter also but QLD fan Niko played ridiculous

Who would you have picked as your starting 7? I'm a Qlder and I love Nicho but he looked lost. Would you put Moses in next game?

No I think we have to stick with Nico. I feel like he deserves his shot and changing now not only imo ends his origin series but his origin future. He needs to loose this tentative aspect to his play, we saw it before coming off against Penrith and we saw it in this instance. He needs to be able to direct from a go forward position. This game was the complete opposite of what suits him. Game manager not game changer. We stick with him and avoid knee jerk reaction, but coaches must generate a more coherent game plan for him to execute​@@jacksonloram7887

​​@@jacksonloram7887 I had Nico picked in my team , but I preferred Cody Walker at 6. I had Latrell and Crighton in the centres tho As for making a change next game , No. I say that for various reasons, but I do believe in continuity, I do believe this game was the exact opposite of a blueprint to what Nico needs ( game manager not game changer imo) and I do believe he is still the best option. Added to this I think enough changes are coming anyway ( fullback and centre for a start) that NSW need to keep further distraction to a minimum. So I stick with Nico and hope he has more conviction in his play. I would also as a NSW fan caution the blues to think the only reason we lost was because we were a man down. We looked disjointed from the beginning, communication was poor, game awareness was poor, game execution was poor . But folks , Queensland only played at 70%. That team looked like a team and they will improve. Lethal in attack, stubborn in defense. Game 2 could get ugly and get ugly quick . Hate to say it, but that's my opinion lol

@@stuartkerton2683 I don't know why Luai keeps getting picked at 6. When Walker was 6 last year in Game 3 he terrorised the QLD right edge. Made Val Holmes and DCE look slow in defence with all the quality ball he was giving to Best and the Fox. Latrell in the centres scares me lol, if he stays fit he'll destroy us

What do you mean? Latrell missed the rest of the season including the grand final that season 😂😂 Was all over the media AND it was just club football not origin

Don’t need to reply to idiot comments

I'm not from QLD of NSW , but what garfield3443 just said was insane. ''walsh slipped and fell into Sua'ali's shoulder'' ''I got these bruises falling into my boyfriends fists'' 😆 get real mate.

yep Nicho's kicking game was crap

why, Nicko did great. It was 12 on 13 and he kept them in with a chance up until the 50min.

@user-ct8tc2dd9v Yes it was 12 vs 13 but our forwards kept us in the game. Nicho failed to create opportunities for our players and his kicking game was dreadful

It’s so funny you guys are talking like a flat track bully like Moses would’ve done any better in this game

@@hansoloburger2322 I'm not saying we would've won if Moses played, but the score line would've been a lot closer.

Have you tried calling Joseph Sua'lii'?

The next NSW game the NSW fans should stay home, I would have been gutted to pay money to watch 7 minutes, total BS, different if the score was 38 to 10 with the send off in the 77th minute, but it wasnt, the ref got it wrong and stuffed the game.

Joseph Suaalii could refund your $250 ... 😂😂

Call sualli and ask him.

Not even a tiny bit of player welfare concern, but a whole lot of victim blaming 😐 says a lot about what kind of person you are.

​@Waywind420 I'm watching this from an outsider perspective, with no loyalty to either, but my god some NSW fans are so toxic

@@connorbosley4431 I'm also an outsider from WA 😆 I don't blame NSW fans for being passionate and upset about losing a lopsided 13 vs 12 game. But the send off was objectively a fair one. I'm not going to hold it against them though, been a tough 15 years for them in origin

And yet in some media outlets they made out that he gave the guy an absolute spray. Looking at the footage all you can see is a Myles making a few unsavoury comments for sure, but I didn't see any aggression there and no sign that there was something bigger brewing on the sideline.

Just like the cheeky poo Myles did in the corridor of the crown plaza

@@victors8465 he said hey cuz, way to make a debut. Just to rub salt in.

@@jaycee571 yeah that was funny I reckon.

@@peppipoohductionswakashunt3157 Yeah, but the way some media outlets had been reporting it you'd be forgiven for believing Myles was shouting abuse at him. I'm sure that Suaali'i has been on the receiving end of far worse abuse in his club matches.

You have no idea and have never played the game with a comment like that or know what a shoulder charge is. He tackled him front on wrapped his arms around him, if Reece doesnt dip at the last minute it's play on and a classic textbook ball and all tackle

🤮

​@@inxs52your reaction to the scoreboard?

@@TheUlbergto the cringey arse comment I think

I am, because you are, you are because they're not, they're not, because we did, we did because they can't, they can't because we are, we are because they haven't, they haven't because I do.

That's all you know?? How sad for you

I feel the same. But that was a send off 💯 . If you can take out a good player from the opposition and not cop anything, would be bad for the game.

I can see why it resulted in a send off but I think there's enough mitigation to claim Walsh ducked into it and Suaalii didn't have time to pull out

Then DON'T use the shoulder

And if he had broken his jaw or a vertebrae, would you feel the same? It was definitely a targeted hit, he didn't run into him he dived.

Send off in any game. WTF give leniency for origin? Walsh was targeted, taken out of the game. It’s 2024 not 1984 ffs.

Obviously you can't see .. go to specsavers

Careless for sure, but if u slow mo it he tried to wrap his arm around if u see the footage from Walsh’s end.. no intention just unfortunate

"Tall guy came too high" whats he supposed to do get on his knees

@@rods6405 how about don't lead with his shoulder, just do a tackle.

@@BingoBongo-or5niif your not going to lead with your shoulder please tell me what will you lead with?. For you to say don’t lead with your shoulder, it’s pretty safe to assume you’ve never played a game in your life and are pretty clueless.

@@BingoBongo-or5ni so did he "come in too high" or "lead with his shoulder" if walsh was standing up he would have got him in the chest or stomach legal and Suaalii's hands actually touch first but do slip over walsh's falling body, it was a hospital pass, and walsh did nothing to protect himself 0:10. but pretty boy stayed on the ground to milk it! Suaalii was just affecting a tackle he was actually bent over to affect a chest or stomach level tackle!

@@rods6405 standing up? He is on his feet, he is running, wtf! All I'm saying is shoulder turned in looks like intent to the ref, turn his should out, probably still knock the Qld player out but looks like a tackle. Head contact just isn't accepted anymore, origin or not. Play the game as it is today not how it use to be, believe me I wish it wasn't this soft.

"he is airborne and he cant change from there"

Agree with you 100%

@@chiddiru6114nah, was just an accident. Walsh slipped and there was no time to adapt

The fact it’s obvious they were tactically going to make it very hard on Walsh all night and mucked it up, made it a no brainer send off. Suali’i didn’t mean what he did, but he was meant to hurt his ribs or something.

End of the day it's to protect the players. They're the ones that'll suffer from getting ko like that later down the road so you can sit on your couch and be entertained. Joseph has a duty of care and why is that a sent off in every club level footy and not this? Because of your entertainment? You're not gonna look after the bloke when he's older and can't remember things lol so take the L.
