Origin Game 1 Match Day Thread

[chook 56]

I am alone in finding it hard to reconcile the fact that JWH got 5 weeks for a tackle that went wrong, while Gallen will get 1 week for (a) deliberately hitting Myles with a stiff arm and (b) violently punching his head in a fit of rage?

it's always been different with SOO.
JWH's tackle wouldn't have been a send off last night. Report maybe, but not send off.

Two sets of standards....apparently.

[roostersrule2]

Although you guys are all praising Gallen for hitting Myles, Gallen had his worst origin ever IMO he was shit.

[mightyrooster]

Myles is absolute filth and does not have a good reputation among the other NRL players.
To all you QLDers crying foul about Gallen being a thug, go and watch the game and watch what myles gets up to. NSW had enough.
Basically the scum got what he deserved. There would be plenty of Rooster boys (NSW, QLD and other) cheering that myles got belted.

Don't forget for years NSW has been putting up with all sorts dirty crap of players like Hodges and Smith. There hasn't been a retaliation like Gallen's last night.

KB I can't stand Gallen just as much as I hate Myles. But what you say about Myles is absolutely correct. He knocked Farrah out in a game last year leading with his head. He almost did the same thing to Hayne last night. The guy is a grub of the highest order. I don't condone violence and as I said I hate Gallen but on this occasion I believe Myles got exactly what he deserves. Why the hell don't the refs / officials do something about Myles and his grubby tactics especially the leading with the head? I bet if JWH tackled like that, with his head first, he'd be rubbed out of the game for 10 weeks!

In the later part of the game qld kicked deep, chased well and had quick line speed... Was quite amazing to watch. Blues need to learn this

You don't think NSW had any of that in the first half?

I'm no fan of either player but it takes a brave man to take on that forehead! Nate had been leading with it in tackles and deserves at least some of what Gallen dished out. But there was no need for Gallen to keep going like he did with the punches .

Rubbish Gallen should have kept punching Myles in the head for every dog act headbutt he did for last nights game and all the ones last year Not only that he should have broken the rednecks nose and jaw in the process

Come on Andy.
Gallen would have been there all night. There was a footy game to complete.

If everyone really belted everyone for everything that was ever said/done during Origin, there would be no-one left on the field.

The NRL are a funny lot. They want to ban shoulder charges where no arms are used in tackles, but turn a blind eye to head charges. Myles' arms are by his side when attempting these tackles. He has been doing them for years. Shit go from Myles.

That would satisfy some of the helicopter mothers who were complaining on the SMH website today.

It's been hilarious watching the goings on.

Really, some people take themselves waaaay too seriously.

Agree there with you my friend. And I'm a girl who hates violence but it's SOO for goodness sake, not SSO (which stands for Sydney Symphony Orchestra)..

If it was reversed, QLD winning, and say Thighagay running 20 metres to punch a NSW player in the back of his head, we would hear Nuttin. I've seen the dog do it for years, it's become an in joke amongst ex NSW players. Sick.

What cracked me up was Burgess on the Teev after the game saying he should have been sent. The same carnt who is allowed to run 20 to crack blokes in the head.

Best part is they HATE losing. All day I've heard how it was a boring/crap game, from redneck cats piss drinking double headed sunburnt Morons.

Suck me baby, my only reply.
