Queensland to the bone, I bleed maroon.

@@Shifty319get your comment but at least spell marroon correctly

Just because the Aussies promounce it marone doesnt mean its correct. It just the way you say it. Maroon is pronounced exactly the way he says it in many parts of the world. So unless you invented the word then you dont get to decide how its said.

@@brucefale6132 the incredible irony of a seppo saying this is palpable

@@Shifty319 you know your wrong. Do just deal with it skippy

Queensland ALWAYS manages to find that "underdog" status - even if THEY ARENT UNDERDOGS hahah

Given your thorough knowledge can you remember a game when the Blues were up 2 points and instead of going for a try, the Maroons kicked 3 field goals to steal the win with the last one being the golden point? I don't know which game or year it was. I just remember the huge controversy because the Blues were so angry that we didn't play the game "the way it should be played." I think they even tried to kick a field goal themselves but missed. As an AFL fan, i really appreciated the quality of their superior ball skills and thought the game should be more like this to attract AFL fans like myself. That was the night i became a Maroons supporter.

I wouldnt have minded a fair but tough bone rattling tackle - but that shoulder first - off the ground - directly to the head of a blind sided play maker - THATS SEND OFF. He only got 4 weeks suspension.. Shoulda been at least 8 in my opinion

Walsh sucks to soft

Well their heart didn't mean jack shit

Yeah and about 10,000 of the walked out after that moronic send off.

And was the main stadium for the 1956 Olympics! Both fitting stadiums for a state of origin! Both Olympic stadiums! Actually the record crowd at a football game is 121.699. That was before the corporate boxes forced the maximum crowd down. 24:46

@@peter-josephlamusitele6296 except Suncorp won't be the main stadium like the "G" And Sydney's Olympic Stadium. They will play soccer there though I think. By 2032 they will probably need to give it a facelift like the Gabba?

It only really blew out right at the end. They were exhausted. They fought hard and would have been very close if old mate didn't get sent off. In the end those nsw forwards did more work than they should have and the QLD quicks ran them hard.

That true.

I don't think it would have ended any different, hammer ripped em a new asshole, he'd get past them regardless even if it was 13 players, he's an elite origin player. Has got a try every origin game he's played

Except as per usual, NSW implode and are calling for wholesale charges to the team. Which is why they've lost most of the past 20 years.

@darylblain4710 The coach is disappointing me. He should have stood by Sua'alii and taken responsibility for his role in what happened. I seee it as weak as piss that he didn't own up to coaching Sua'alii to attack everytime reece had the ball and what's more the team would have seen their coach as a stand up guy, instead they see a coward. A coward that is going to ask things of them, and they are going to know that at the back of their minds that if things go wrong, Maguire isn't going to have their back. He is going to leave them alone, shouldering the smear and blame for the rest of their careers. Man up Maguire like you expect your players, too. By example, man, by example.

Thank you! I try to be as real as possible. I watch a lot of reactions for other sports/videos and I always had an issue with some of the fake stuff. Obviously this does lead to some not as fun reactions but oh well.

hahaha. I almost chose the Eels as my team a few weeks into my NRL reactions as well. That would have been fun! Glad I ended up deciding to wait a while before committing to a team.

​@@EamonnReactsto be honest, Parramatta Eels have lost some credibility due to their main sponsorship deal - starting next year. The Eels have decided to go back to the same sponsors during their golden period of the 1980s - James Hardie. James Hardie was deeply involved with asbestos up to the late 1980s - most infamous locations include an asbestos products factory in a suburb near Parramatta, called Camellia. For years, Hardie tried not to pay out asbestos victims.

the broncos announced last night walsh will be out for 4 weeks atleast

Thanks a lot man! Glad to have you along for the ride. It's been pretty easy to pick up with you guys helping me in the comments of every video and stream.

That is definitely something I plan on doing down the line. May save that for once we're in the offseason though.

That will probably double in the next three years, though.

My dads good mates with Craig Greenhill (the first to get sent) and we were taking the p*ss out of him over text about what it feels like

​@@kugsyyknuckles? I grew up near him in Wynnum 👍

Thank you! Been a fun grind these past few months learning the ins and outs. Still a long ways to go but I think I've got a good grasp overall.

Not to mention a quadriplegic.

He might be small - but he's fkin tough. I have a feeling Walsh was lucky he slipped a bit. It probably took away some of the momentum

He didn't actually pass his HIA. He passed his SCAT6 which isn't a HIA. He failed the HIA.

@@jacobthorpe4316 ok he passed a part of his HIA still a beast

Yep Billy was one of the greatest players. Looks like he is going to be a great coach. Then he apparently put Cobbo there for backup specifically to back up Walsh It was reported! When Bellamy retires from Melbourne in ten years The kid maybe the Storm coach?😮

@@MusiCatsKing yeah bro, game 2 is MCG

Why should the offence be judged differently solley based on the fact it was origin?

@blackkrrsantan4464 Because thats how Origin has always worked?

@@blackkrrsantan4464agreed👍

its a shoulder charge, so minimum is a sin bin, then its contact with a head so it goes up a level to the send off, it was 100% warranted

Queensland played with 11 players and won 😅

Could try downloading a song recognizing app on your phone, might not pick it up though with the other noises.

Moses should be called up for game 2. Nicho isn't correct fit for this level.

Nicho seems to be cursed between his first debut and this game.

I'm a blues fan. At first in real time, I thought "WOW" that looked bad. But slowed down, you can see Suaalii had lined-up to hit Reece fair in the chest. However Reece puts a side step in and slips low. I personally felt it should have been a careless hit and worthy of 10 in the bin. But a complete send off? That totally ruined the game for every blues fan! You wait all year to watch Origin and within 2 minutes game 1 is done. You are 100% correct, It could happen so easily to QLD. It ruins the series for everyone involved. If it were are complete dog move and the player involved was clearly trying to inflict injury to the opposition, then I can accept a red card. But when you can see in a replay that it wasn't the case, they need to have some common sense at Origin level.

@@A2thaMFK in okay with red. Only because it sends the message to every player, this shit is not on. And those who say the games soft, it for long term health reasons. We are already seeing our great players suffer from the effects of hia because of concussion from both codes. I see red cards in union alot but thankful, it does not ruin the game, so you can’t blame the loss on a red card because, It’s 20mins only so gives the team opportunity to still win it. I think, nrl needs this rule in ASAP to avoid this happening again. Otherwise, this could mean Less people watching the game and sponsors leaving p. So it’s both health and business reasons why need this rule in asap.

@@Br0wnCh3 I agree, though those tackles are going to happen. If Reece doesn't slip, everyone would have been in oar of the tackle and it would be on all highlight reels.

Yeah abit shit to have the game effectively over before the first 10 minutes.

I've been writing in other thread. If you send off a player, bring on a bench and reduced the interchange by 2 or 4. with only 3 on the bench. Then I read what they do in union. we need to keep 13 v 13 on the field. Not fair for the player or fans who cough up the cash. The game and fans got ripped off last.

Oh no don't worry they've explained it to me in the comments of other videos. I've got the jist of Origin down now. Reacted to a few videos prior to it and such. Really awesome stuff. Wish we had the same thing for hockey.

No shit mate 😂

For most of the NRL stuff I've reacted to they have copyrighted the video, but they don't block it. They get any revenue from the views and such. Sometimes the videos are fully blocked so in those cases I've had to resort to putting up a logo over the screen.

@@EamonnReacts Mind you you're only showing snippits of the game while I just want to watch the whole thing.

And game 2 will be at MCG

Why is someone's hight taken into account when making a tackle lol. It's always been on the defender to avoid contact with the head.

No wrap of the arms, lead with shoulder, totally off the ground and horizontal as superman and lowered himself to find the head. 😅 Some accident. At least honest. That was coaches orders, they just didn't expect to be punished being a home game. You can tell by how they worded their answers at the presser about it. Grow up mate, people aren't stupid

@@MJBOGAN agreed - They gambled - targetted the best player for destruction and it blew up in their faces.

Sin bin is not enough of a deterrent. If you take out one of our players, it's only fair that the you should be without your offending player. The question then is should a send-off mean being a man down as opposed to being allowed to substitute him. That's the compromise i would be willing to accept if you are.

QLD got to use their 18th man, so they still had 17 players including the bench

That's good. Definitely needs to miss some action.

The player pleaded guilty at the tribunal and received a four week suspension. Probably a penalty that is on the light side as the other player, Walsh, will probably not play another game for the Broncos for another four weeks.

second best stats of the entire match LOL donkey

Agree, I'm a Queensland supporter and the worst thing for us would be the NSW selectors pick the Eels half back, Moses, to replace Hines. That would make it a lot harder for Qld to win game 2.

@@PhantomGhostWriter47 you a poofter? what happened on monday night against the bulldogs lmao

Yeah I agree. I think maybe a 20 min sin bin and then a lengthly suspension of future games might be a good middle ground? I'm not sure. It's a good debate to have.

​@@EamonnReacts The send off was entirely justified. Walsh was targeted with intent, he didn't even have the ball before that Suaalii looked and saw Walsh was going to have the ball and instantly ran to injure him with a big hit. Billy slater (QLD coach) Was the same kind of player as Walsh in his day, and he was targeted relentlessly with those same type of bullshit hits from NSW players trying to remove them from the game via injuries and had a replacement for him because HE KNOWS thats what NSW does, they are a dirty, thuggish side that seeks to injure star QLD players and take them out of the game, penalties be damned. That dynamic has always been there with that team ever since i've been watching, the selectors for the New South Wales team always pick overly aggressive, large players for this very purpose. Look at one other selection, Liam Martin, the whole game that braindead idiot was trying to bust up QLD players with big hits but he only got 65 Meters of ground holding the ball, the entire game. He is not an origin level player, he was selected to injure opposing players. He only ever made 28 tackles, and MISSED 8. The only impact he made the entire game was knocking a ball out of someone's hands while acting like a human missile. A 20 minute sin bin is too light a punishment for this kind of intent. Queensland's best playmaker out and NSW get to slot in a new player 20 minutes afterwards would only reinforce NSW's tactics to injure QLD players. And speaking of the 'tackle'. As soon as Walsh got the ball he passed it immediately, he would need to dip his body to pass the ball, you can't throw it far without lowering your body. Its clear as day he saw Joseph charging to injure him as he was mid pass, and was attempting to brace/stop moving to lower the impact speed. But as soon as the ball left his arms there was absolutely no time for him to pull his arms up or come to a stop, resulting in him leaning back to brace and causing him to slide/slip into Joseph. Again, bullshit hit, intentionally reckless, and you can tell because there was ZERO attempt from Joseph to control/wrap/strip or take him down to the ground.

It's a multi purpose stadium

I'm aware. Since most people viewing this video are NRL/League fans I just say Rugby or League generally. Not a huge deal to the people that are league fans from what I've understood.

@@EamonnReacts I encourage you to watch both forms. You will have a ball. (Gilbert/Steeden).

Was hoping for a late comeback haha

I love how Queenslanders think this. Just remember, NSW fans have suffered for decades, yet we still pack out stadiums twice the size of anything you guys have, year in year out. At some point QLD will go through a streak of losses. QLD fan base hasn't been tested yet...
