Riddle me this ref?

Gallon goes in for a tackle on Nate Miles and gives him a nice love tap to the side of the head with his forearm, no big deal this is origin after all, Miles gets up and plays the ball pushes gallon and tells him to piss off...or words to that effect, again no big deal, then standing in open play Gallon clocks Miles square on the chin twice  :o Next thing you know the ref dawdles over Gallon goes on report for a swinging arm in the tackle, but nothing is said about two blatant punches to the face for no particular reason. WTF ??? ???
Since when has a forearm to the ear been bad and a smack square on the jaw isn't ?
Sidenote: that Waterhouse bloke makes my skin crawl.

There'll be all sorts of Queensland "we wuz robbed" bullshit but the truth was NSW played 'em off the park. As far as Gallen's love taps on Miles, if ever a player deserved a punch in the chops its Nate Miles. Spend a bit of time watching what he does in tackles and see why nearly every other player thinks he's a grub. If you watch the three or four tackles he made before Gallen clocked him you'll see why Gallen did what he did. Any way, who cares, NSW won. ;D Two to go.

Seemed to me that Qld only showed up to have a run......just check the interview with Smithy as the run off at half time....he was all smiles.
As for 1/2 Gallon...what a dick..if you were going to punch Nate Miles why pick his head....you my as well go into the change room and punch the block wall. And only a whinney sook carries on to the ref like Gallon did....even in under 10s

You must still have some morphine residue in your system John......I can't find it on here at the moment but earlier in the year I made some football predictions that you foo foo'd and said something about my experiencing more and more senior moments. Once we get the State of Origin back and knock over the British Lions in the Rugby, it'll be time to get back the Bledisloe Cup from Unzud and I'll be proven to be the predictive genius you deep down knew I was all along ::).

Whinge Whinge....At least Myles has evolved enough to not shit on hotel floors anymore, instead shitting his pants just as he did after mouthing off to Gal.

Post by: SlideRulz on June 06, 2013, 07:01:58 pm
Q - Why pick on Nates Head?
A - Because he has a reputation of leading with his head when the opportunity is right, read into that legal headbutt.
Myles is a big time grub, Gallen is certainly no angel but at least he did it face to face.
I'm cert not crowing because the Maroons have a once in a hundred year team at the moment but the resolve of the Blues was awesome last night.

Looking forward two origin 2
Title: Re: Go the Maroons
Post by: oldfart on June 06, 2013, 07:55:27 pm
Why are the rules different in State of origin Footy .... Both Gallen and Myles should be stood done for the remaining two games.....and the games in between and then maybe the rest of the players will think twice about playing judge and dishing out punishment as the see fit.  That's why they have refs and video footage.
Be very  interesting to see what happens in game two.....

Post by: dalesween on June 06, 2013, 08:00:55 pm
As Gallen said today"Miles had it coming" yep sure did,the mouthy prick got what he deserved,he's just one of those mouths that dont stop,and yes,QLD were just outplayed,but who can tell what game two will bring? I thought James Maloney was a good inclusion in the NSW squad,he's tough as nails and has a good kicking game.

Post by: BAHNZY on June 06, 2013, 10:47:17 pm
With so much work being done to get the game 'back on track" the gutless efforts of Gallen in the first loose arm swing are inexcusable and 1 week is an absolute crock given the latter 2 connecting punches as he came up from the tackle. The Blues simply beat us in a show of solidarity with good ole fashioned guts & determination and they didd'nt need their captain to whinge like a 5 year old to the ref and take it upon himself to dish out retribution. Never been a Laurie Daly fan but he was a class act last night with his honest non PC pre & post take on the game, Gallen however is a thug who's living in he past and I doubt there will be any love for him at Suncorp.

Being a Mexican I'm equally a fan of State Of Origin and the Queensland Maroons and whilst i wasnt happy that we lost i respected & appreciated how the Blues went about their game and can't wait for game 2 to see what our boys can come up with.
Title: Re: Go the Maroons
Post by: firko on June 06, 2013, 10:59:25 pm
If Gallen hadn't jobbed Miles, someone else would have. He was going the grapple and other dodgy moves in almost every tackle he was involved in. Gallen at least had the guts to job him out in the open. Miles a grub and has been for years, hardly any players like or respect him on either side. Meninga shined it on and didn't make a big deal of it because he didn't want any more attention drawn towards Miles.

In no way am I making Miles out to be the victim, far from it, never been a fan of his game play but he has done that for as long as I can remember. Winning the ball, the play and ultimately the game then walking up to the prick after winning and gently  >:( letting him know that he just had his pants pulled down would have been a far better outcome. 
What I have is a major issue with the “establishment”  thinking the “BIFF” is o/k, for Gallen thinking that he can be the judge/jury & the judiciary for handing out a limp wristed 1 week penalty. If Gallen’s actions were filmed on a CCTV outside a pub (or the like) he would be in front of a magistrate and more than likely facing a sentence of some kind.  Just because its State of Origin or football in general shouldn’t mean that such actions are condoned.

The worst part of all this is that its guaranteed that Gallen will be targeted in game 2 and one can only image how the feral element of the maroons supporters will behave which won’t do the game any good. I’d be guessing that channel 9 will have some very strict guidelines delivered to them from the NRL regarding what they can and can’t televise pre, during & post the game to limit the damage.

It seems that not a day goes by where some knob head takes a swing at someone in the street and the end result is someone lying in a coma for weeks on end or worse still dead because they belted their head on the concrete as they fell to the ground. League officialdom and the rest of the larger football community are dropping just short of condoning his actions which is wrong.

I was under the impression that State Of Origin selection was based on the state in which they played their first senior rugby league game, not their birth (or) home state.
Title: Re: Go the Maroons
Post by: Bitten on June 07, 2013, 04:47:58 pm
Bahnzy You are correct on the eligibility and my posts was a bit rich as NSW list of players born elseware is just as long.

But what does get under my skin a bit is with Greg Inglis (and Folau) his first senior game of football was with the Toowoomba woop whoops who were Melbourne Storms feeder club at the age of 18. Up until then I don't think he had crossed the Tweed. This is where the league should step in and add credibility to the process or just have anyone regardless of where they are born (OZ, NZ or otherwise) who signs their first NRL contract at the same time nominate wwhich state they support and that is locked in stone for the rest of their career.

As for Gallen I agree it wasn't a good look but I did notice that Myles didn't lead with his head after half time and so Gallen's actions may have saved a life!

Cheers

The problem as I see it is that somewhere some 8-15 yr old has seen that (plenty of them actually) and they see it now as being OK because the grubs that run the game don't have the nuts to send him off and keep him off.
As has been alluded to above the League should not condone it and if it happened outside a pub the video ref wouldn't only show what he wants the punters to see. The perp would be locked up.
There is now a show for boof heads that want to punch and kick their way to hero status and it's rubbish as well.

Yeah a bit later on I realised that I'd been too restrained.

I'll never forget my first experience with the Queensland police. It was 1971 and we were sitting in the old Beer Garden Hotel in Surfers Paradise enjoying a few cold beers when four big Queensland coppers came walking through the garden with scowly looks on their faces, I didn't think too much about it and continued to chat away with my mates but as the cops drew level with me some unknown person behind me said "the ambulance are here, there must be a problem". One of the cops stopped, asked what I'd said and when I told him I'd said nothing he jobbed me hard in the face and shouted at me with his face an inch from mine, spittle flying like a garden sprinkler, that he was a "Queensland flucking Policemen, not a flucking Ambo" and dragged me out to the street by my hair (I had long hair then) and threw me head first into the side of a parked car. He then looked me dead in the eye and told me that his duty beyond everything he does as a policemen was to rid drug addicted scum like me from the streets of Queensland. He then jobbed me twice more and went back into the pub. A  few minutes later he and his copper mates came back out with my three mates and some other long haired blokes and told us to "get the fluck out of Queensland and back to whatever shit hole we came from".

That was the very first day of our very first trip to race our drag car at the Surfers Paradise Speed Week meeting and it left an indelible impression on 20 year old me. That same weekend some other racing mates from NSW were pulled over and arrested when the cops searched their van and found a bag of pot that hadn't been there before they'd been pulled over, if you get my drift. That my friend was my introduction to Bejlke Petersens Queensland and his rotten police force and the start of my life long distaste for redneck conservative politics and crooked cops.....now you know why my little fibro cottage Mt Druitt is more a paradise to me than a penthouse in Broadbeach would ever be ;)...............Go the Mighty Blues, Go the mighty Wallabies and Go the Waskally Wabbitoes. ;D

We have grown up since then and let anyone in now, even if you cant speak English. Did you ever get to Surfers Paradise Raceway?....was a great place before they built houses on it and a golf course.....bastards. Maybe it was that "Goff for PM sticker" on your car?.How's the boss settled back in to home life?...I hope she wasn't too upset we beat NSW...Tell her I'm still rooting for the bunnies...but I don't like any of your other teams choice's chances.

Sure did, loved the place....in fact in 1972 we raced at every drag meet at Surfers, following the Queensland championships as an unfortunate engine blow up at a key round had buggered us for the NSW series. We ended up runner up in our class in the Qld series that year....ironically beaten by a Queenslander who was later found to be a habitual nitro cheat. Don't misunderstand me though, I like Queenslanders and their funny ways but I could never live there, my run in with the facists is too ingrained in my psyche.

After dragging all of the tools, parts, clothes and sleeping gear out onto the road they'd then just drive off with a smile on their faces.  After 4 or 5 of these 'searches' and a few more trumped up speeding tickets we were forced to use my other mates more conservative, uncomfortable and less powerful EH as a tow car to help avoid any more police attention. On the advice of my Dad who ironically was a detective sergeant in the NSW Police, I bought a VF VIP Valiant rather than a more groovy Monaro or GT Falcon because it was such a lawn bowler style car that it wouldn't draw attention yet still had plenty of towing power. As difficult as those early drag racing trips to Joh's Queensland were, the fun factor far outweighed the shit and I wouldn't swap the memories of them for anything.

Jeeezus Joanie, I'd look like the bloody Michelin man in one of those Lycra jerseys ;D. I'll stick to my 1982 KLG spark plugs jersey. Every time I wear it someone wants to buy it off my back. I paid only $5 for it at the Minchinbury Salvo's about 10 years ago.....worth $200 on eBay these days. Watch for the selectors to pick Adam Reynolds at halfback for the Blues. The kicking was a major weak point in the Blues game, kicking directly to Slater or Inglis so it'd be a good thing to pick Reynolds and Johnny Sutton as the Half-5/8 combo to 1: get more attack off the ruck and 2: get more field position with more accurate tactical kicks.

Watch for Whalan's own gift to Rugby, Kurtley Beale to redeem himself and Christian Leliafano to show that he's as good as Izzy Folau tonight............Wallabies by 4 in a close and tough one.

Well Firko, that was a hiding if I have ever seen one....Beale cracks under pressure like his dickhead mate Cooper, Foulau was a 1 game wonder, that dickhead O'Conner should get the flick along with his pisshead mate Beale.....the Wobbilies where lucky it wasn't 3 zip. To  have a kicker that the captain has no confidence in at that level is unbelievable. The All Blacks are waiting. ;D.....So the Blues....have they got it in them?

Jeez that's a bit tough, you must have been mixing the Tramadol and alcohol again....don't do it, it makes you say dumb things ::)....Folau a one hit wonder? You're kidding, right? He was one of the best on the paddock until he blew his hammy out. He actually did the damage about 10 minutes before he went off. Kurtley was OK but playing out of position. Same with O Connor....It shits me when they pick players and play them in the wrong positions to what they re used to. It had nothing to do with the backs, they did their best behind  the shit forwards who were totally pissweak at the breakdown and scrums. All that aside, the Lions were on fire tonight, even a full strength All Blacks would have had a tough time with them.....they were in the zone, nobody was going to beat them in that mood. Remember that the Lions team was mostly Wales players and we beat Wales in 5 straight tests last year so it comes down to them being pumped and truly believing in themselves. Yep, bring on the All Blacks,, Saffies, and Argentina we're ready. 8)

No, they're a long way from Grand Final standard yet, I'll just wait 'til they're playing 100% before I buy my tickets. I do have tickets for one of the Rugby Championships games heading my way from a mate who knows a bloke who once played for Randwick whose wife once rooted Campo. ;) Not sure which game yet. It looks like Dingo Deans has coached his last Wallaby game, Jake White is tipped to take over. Plus....that little wanker O'Connor was sacked by the Rebels this morning.

Uncle Firko,from my vantage point at Homebush I can say with confidence that the All Blacks would have put 60 plus on the Wobblies.The Wobblies were exposed out wide in the second half but the lions didn't have the natural instinct to attack out wide like the Blacks do.
It was really sad to see the lack of passion in the gold jersey,I hope that they now appoint an Aussie coach this time around.

Brand O'Conner worth nothing now. I hope for Auzie phsyc they appoint an Auzie coach,even though jake white is the best option.

Title: Re: Go the Maroons
Post by: EML on July 08, 2013, 08:56:33 am
Interesting that everyone thinks Dingo should go. Even the players blamed themselves...not the coach.
The way they fell off tackles late in the game tells me they are not up to speed, too lazy to get out of their own way and not keen to help each other out. Maybe they need to watch how the Maroons do it.
I agree that they need to have an Aussie coach for their own prides sake.
Title: Re: Go the Maroons
Post by: firko on July 08, 2013, 10:26:34 am
I agree with everyone, It'd time for Ewan McKenzie to take the helm, as good a coach Jake White is, he isn't an Aussie. The foreign coach experiment just plain didn't work, it's time for an Aussie to bring back the pride in the gold jersey. I bet the All Blacks are glad that Graeme Henry beat Dingo out for the job all those years ago. Deans might be a nice fella but he's way to conservative a coach for the amount of talent he has at hand. I honestly believe that we have the rugby playing talent to at least equal the All-Blacks and beat every other team in the world. Picking players out of their natural position is my pet hate (in both codes)  and has been a giant pin in the wallaby backline balloon since Deans took over. Folau should be fullback to take advantage of his kicking and ability to break the first line of defence. If big Ewan gets the gig, I'd say bring Quade Cooper back to play fly half running off Genia which would reunite arguably the best half combination in the game. For some reason  Ewan knows how to get the best out of Quade. I'd play Jesse Mogg at left wing and Digby Ione on the other. The really big problem though is at the breakdown. We really miss Pocock at #7 he's the only flanker within as cooee of Cheatin' Richie McCaw. Hooper and Gill are good young talents but they're not hardened enough yet (they haven't learned to cheat without being spotted by the ref). You know that things were desperate for them to bring old Georgie Smith back from Japan. He's as old as I am, Jeez I think I may have even played against him ::).  Once we can win breakdown ball or defend our own in the breakdown and get the ball back to properly placed backs we'd be a far better side.

Even though the forwards were lacklustre on Saturday night, I reckon we've got a good base line up. They were out played by an inspired pack who were on a mission. There wasn't a better forward pack in the world on Saturday night. The passion that they, and the rest of the Lions played with is just what it takes to win games. My old coach at Belmont Shore, Kiwi Bruce Henderson used to tell us to imagine that the opposition had murdered our mothers and raped our sisters and were now out to do the same to our wives and girlfriends. We had to hate them that much >:(.. I think Robbie Deans is too much a peace, love and a firm handshake after the game kind of bloke. Old Bruce used to get right up us if he saw any of us smiling and joking with opposition players on the field immediately after a loss. He demanded us to be so shitty we'd literally punch holes in the shed wall. Passion is what wins games.

Post by: firko on July 18, 2013, 12:01:14 pm
Sadly....as long as Qld have players of the calibre of Smith, Slater, Cronk and Thurston and NSW don't it'll remain a Queensland dominated series. It's freakish that these four players (plus big Greg Inglis) are playing at the same time in history. Unsually you get one great player or maybe two per era, like Wally Lewis and Alan Langer but to have five greats that are good enough to be considered 'Imortals' playing in the same side is amazing. It was a good close game last night but remember that Greg Inglis was a limping passenger for most of the game so it could have been worse for NSW. On the other side, NSW played their hearts out, McManus on the wing was terrific as were the forwards. I think it's time to try either of the (no relation) Reynolds boys at halfback Adam from Souths or Josh from Canterbury are both now better halfbacks than Pearce. Bring on next year ::)..................Go the Big Link Wallabies ;).
Title: Re: Go the Maroons
Post by: Lozza on July 18, 2013, 12:21:25 pm
The Qld team could possibly be one of the greatest sporting teams ever. NSW learned this year how to win a game but not a series, might take another 2 years of keeping the current NSW team,to realise they can win a series.
Title: Re: Go the Maroons
Post by: GD66 on July 18, 2013, 12:22:35 pm
Ah, I thought it was just me...I've never seen Pearce do anything exceptional, especially under pressure, and he stood out as underqualified more so than usual last night : also Qld hammered Maloney in game 2 yet he was selected again, and again came up just short when it mattered. With a better ball supply to the backline, coulda woulda shoulda etc. Bottom line is, once again Qld wanted it more and played some great league for the win. Hats off.
