Title: State of Origin
Post by: Bird on June 05, 2021, 11:00:06 AM
Will it have the same feel as in the past? I know NRL certainly doesnt, hasnt for years
So which team will be down to 10 men first?

There’s a new sherriff in town and Peter V’landys will ensure the jewel in rugby league’s crown will be subject to the same interpretations as the regular competition, which has been plagued by record send-offs, sin-binnings and suspensions after a crackdown on contact with the head or neck in the past month.

NSW coach Brad Fittler reckons sin-binnings will be inevitable in this year’s Origin series, to the point where he has prioritised training with 12 men during his game one preparations.

Coaching expecting players to be binned/off ... LOL!

I reckon that there will be a new player nomination soon i.e.
                               
                                        'The Most Valuable Dive of the Match' award!

Yeah, Saw it twice last night in the NRLgame, player went down, game stopped, review and the defender penalized for tapping the attacking player, even tho the head wasn't touched.
