There have been great origin moments over the years, some I remember vividly, some I don't. However, the thing that I will remember for a long time will be the Darren Lockyer intercept in game 3 of 2006. Such a pivotal moment in the context of state of origin, one would say on par with the game...

What does everyone think of that obstruction try/no try?

Poor drop ball by Hannant bringing the ball back after the Reed try; he seems to lose the ball easily when tackled head on hard. The set of six that led up to the drop goal attempt was fucking poor, the hooker and half back should be stoned in public!

Are you still allowed to convert a try with a drop kick?

Yes, I couldn't watch any of the games tonight. All I got was a black screen.

1. Maranta (Kahu when fit) 2. Vidot 3. Copley 4. Hodges 5. Hoffman 6. Nikorima 7. Hunt 8. McGuire 9. McCullough 10. Hannant 11. Gillett 12. Thaiday 13. Parker 14. Barba 15. Kennedy 16. Hala 17. Oates Gone - Reed, Lowrie, Glenn

I would have hit Glenn as the lead runner, however Glenn was running a poor angle, he was cutting in towards Hoffman (which crowded Hoffman), Glenn should have run a straight line. Barba created the gap for Glenn, so Barba is doing a good job off the ball. I do think the original play was for...

Sorry I should clarify that I meant with the intent to lift.

As soon as a player puts their hands between a ball carriers legs, the refs should call call held immediately, if the player continues to lift then a penalty is blown. We need to prevent players being lifted using this method in the first place. The physics of a heavy upper body being tilted...

Barba played wing in the nines because you don't play a fullback in that format. You have your open side wingers act as a quasi fullback.

My team: 1. Barba 2. Vidot 3. Copley 4. Hoffman 5. Reed 6. Strasser 7. Hunt 8. Hannant 9. McCullough 10. Kennedy 11. Glenn 12. Thaiday 13. Parker 14. Nikorima 15. Gillett 16. McGuire 17. Hala/Ofahengaue/Wallace

What does Lui offer though? He doesn't really offload, doesn't get across the advantage line all that often and misses tackles by constantly shooting out of the line.

Meh, I'm over Glenn. Forgot about Oates, and lets go with Milford as coming... Revised team; 1. Barba 2. Hoffman 3. Reed 4. Copley 5. Yow Yeh 6. Milford 7. Hunt 8. Hannant 9. McCullough 10. McGuire 11. Gillett 12. Thaiday 13. Parker 14. Kahu 15. Kennedy 16. Tasi 17. Oates 18. Glenn

My team, based what we know now: Barba is coming, JYY will be fit for Rd1, Hodges won't be fit for Rd 1, and Milford won't be here. 1. Barba 2. Hoffman 3. Reed 4. Copley 5. Yow Yeh 6. Kahu 7. Hunt 8. Hannant 9. McCullough 10. McGuire 11. Stagg 12. Thaiday 13. Parker 14. Glenn 15. Kennedy 16...

We are good at inviting the opposition back into the contest with poor discipline!!!

Nice start, however We need to play for the full 80

I packed down in the scrum a couple of times at hooker, one guy got with that move, made me almost pass out. I thought I was kicked there it hurt that much! Five weeks, 1 for each grade (it should be a grade 5).

How many grades are there?

I agree we lost our way when Macca went off, but that's why we need to have Granville or Baptise providing spark.

Thanks for remembering me
