    Cooper is a great analyst
  • I go for QLD but if Haas does what he did in game 2 NSW will win. They always applaud the backs, Payne haas had the 2nd most running meters behind Dylan Edwards, and Haas played like 50-60min. Every run he had 2-3 players hanging of him, most unloads in the game. With out his runs , NSW donโ€™t get QLD on the back foot. But he still didnโ€™t get man of the match. What does Haas have to do for NSW to get the accolades for his efforts.
  • Cooper Cronk, great analyst and strategist of the game. Very insightful and always brings something to the table.
  • Gagai respects Origin, he embodies the Queensland spirit and always rises to the occasion...

    Gagai is what it means to be an Origin player! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ his experience is irreplaceable!
  • @john2ndname

  • There's one issue with having 3 fullbacks. The forwards need to make the room for them, if they donโ€™t NSW will just play down the middle and not give the fullbacks a chance. Plus you will also have all three running into the massive NSW forwards to take pressure off. Everyone seems to forget the forward pack creates the room for the backs to move, if they're being pushed back all the time the backs can't do much.
  • @DaShA69684
    Billy should pick some fullbacks for the forward pack too
  • @cjkupa
    Bradman is a freak and surprisingly quick - its surreal
  • Cooper seems to forget that Madge is at the helm of NSW, not Fitler. He embarrassed big Mal last year. He's doing that to Billy this year
  • Latrell Mitchell is like the All Blacks having Jonah Lomu he has that much of a presence and everybody knows without saying who is the alpha, he is a massive loss,
  • @airplane3359
    The ref is the only person who can stop NSW from winning game3
  • Based on the broncos panthers game where Walsh was in the line a lot and trying to hit blokes. Iโ€™d suggest that if both ponga and Walsh are on at the same time. Ponga will defend at fullback and Walsh in the line. This is also a good thing for Queensland as I believe ponga is far better than Walsh at fullback positioning in defence.
