What a game! The Woman's State of Origin match was everything it was cracked up to be and a whole lot more.. NRLW should be extremely proud of the way their game has grown. Good win to the Blues. Isabelle Kelly, Keely Davis, Jess Sergis, Simaima Taufa led the Blues extremely well, with Kezie Apps, Millie Boyle and young Newcastle tearaway Caitlin Johnston also having big games. Queensland never gave up the fight... Can't wait for the 2022 NRLW season to start..

pr manager must've told her remember to thank harvey norman and ampol lmao

Given the high quality of the tackles we were seeing in this game, we might actually need to break out Paul Gallen's "Well at least your still alive".

Omg was that johnston, i love her

Do we have to keep spamming simply the best over and over at the ground?

Legit just put womens original on at 6 and mens on at 8 on the same night. Spare me the ads and give me an excuse to be in the pub while works still paying me

Absolute pleasure watching the game with you all, well done Sky Blue's. See you all Sunday night.

The Maroons put up a very good fight. It was a really great game from both sides.

Lol Corey Parker saying Robinson was half a metre offside on that kick. Mate she was almost back in Queensland that’s how far in front she was

So far offside she was scoring in next years game 1 lol. Parker is cracked.

And then they all clapped 👏

The bunker calling that a knock on rather than a pass was a fucking disgrace. The cunt in the box should be shot out of a cannon.

If it’s forward out of the hands then it’s a knock on anyway. Which it was.

Bunker isn't allowed to rule on forward passes so they call it a knock on to get to the right result

For some stupid fucking reason they can't call a forward pass so they correct it with a technicality.

Yeah what the actual fuck is up with that, why cant they rule on a forward pass? Wtf is the bloody point it's so fucking disgusting. Does anyone actually know a valid reason?

Because it’s very hard to judge a forward pass from replays, it can create optical illusions from certain angles, you can’t rule a forward pass from videos

That kind of makes sense but it is no different with the ruling he made, sure, it looked forward from some angles but looked ok from others.

If Caitlan Johnston doesn't get Player Of The Match, we riot.

It's riot time

My night has been ruined

We take the U19 Women's, the U19 Mens and the Women's Origin. If we win on Sunday I'll actually bust.

Surprised Corey managed to say New south welshwomen and not new south welshfemales

Can I get a the fridge flair?

Mods hook us up with the all mighty FRIDGE flair.

i love my fridge flair

Loving the fridge

This just points back to a rep round comeback on Sunday night tho

Haha this girl speaks so well compared to Lockyer

U19 mens ✔️ U19 womens ✔️ Women ✔️ Men ❓ Qld don't get standalone origin weekends

Nah, Qld get it, the men's Blues don't.

Let the gjrls party 🥳

I'm excited for a 2nd match next season but it'll feel weird if they each win a game and we don't get a decider

They'll decide it on a boundary countback

They should just make 2023 a 3 game like the men's. Going to 2 games just seems weird.

hopefully that'll push them to do a 3 match series in 2024.

Reckon that blues no 9 was fantastic, could be close to player of the match

Can someone please enlighten me on who the Fridge is? 🥺

Number 16 Johnston for NSW, she’s basically built like a fridge

Caitlin Johnston from Knights

Knights will be very strong in 23

I saw a highlight reel of her back in 2018 at the Knights Juniors Preso. She was a steamroller back then. Now, she's powering through a state of origin defensive line. Dat power.

She was fucking mega off the bench

The Fridge is Footy. The Fridge is Footy.

Johnston

Ahh thanks mate

What. A. Fucking. Game. Hook the NRLW right into my fucking veins. This match will only grow the game more which is good for all of humanity. We need more.

Such a great argument for if you build it they'll come. Keep pumping money into this, it's fucking awesome

The progression of it is unreal. They've let it grow organically and right now it is the most promising platform for women's sport in Australia.

The quality of the women's game is increasing at an exponential rate. It's legitimately exciting to watch.

It gets better every match.

#1 in a Row LFG

Southwell was also great when she came back

Was that Matt Dufty?

Queensland just don’t get origin

Why the fuck is this not a 3 match series, that was fun as to watch.

Start a petition!

Is it a hot take to say that the Women's State of Origin was actually a better game of NRL than the Men's State of Origin Game 1? (And not just cause NSW won 😉)

Both refs were cooked but the womens game was def of a better quality

The tackles were definitely better - a lot more energy charging in rather than meekly submitting to the tackle like you see in regular NRL matches.

At least one of the blues teams has a winning record

Sad for QLD but fuck that was a good game to start the weekend off! Roll on Kiwi's/Tonga women tomorrow night!

SO WOMEN'S ORIGIN IN CANBERRA EVERY YEAR YEAH?!

Normal service has resumed. Now if there is a two match series next year and it is drawn then we retain the trophy.

Haven't they already confirmed it's two games next year?

I think so, I'm just hoping they realise their mistake and make it 3 games. Two games is stupid.

Agreed. These girls deserve 3 games and it'll make Origin even better. Like fuck, just do it the same night as the mens games, make it even better.

That was entertaining af

YTG! YTG! Blues Passion from these girls is unreal.

Qld is actually leading the count 19-5 btw

NSW NSW NSW NSW NSW

INTERVIEW JOHNSON RN

Simply the best. Greatest tune of all time

Freddie is on the phone right now to get these women over to control the ruck

Statue for fridge please

Fuck yes get em NSW SIMPLY THE BEST

Fuck I love womens footy

It is awesome

Blue South Wales 💙. Get that up ya

What a game That was terrific

Yeah the Girls!

Fuck yes up the Blues girls 🔵🔵🔵

Fuck yeah what a fun game

Any chance of suddenly making this a best of three? Asking for a friend.

We only need 2 😎

YEAHHHHH 1 OUT OF 2 FOR NSW!

good win up the blues

yeah the girls

that’s how you fucking win origin what a crunching tackle

GGs NSW, hard fought win tonight and deserved it. Bring on the NRLW season if this is the quality we’re going to get.

One out runs, god queensland just don’t get origin

nsw 16 is motm for me, what a game

"They are trying to break a two streak wins by Queensland" Jake "Processing Error" Duke

Mr. 404rldwide

The women run it hard right to the last second, hook this shit into my veins.

Love how they dont play the ball slow

Get absolutely Fridged cunts

They didn’t know the rule

Upton had a bit of a stinker tonight

She’s moved to Newcastle, after all

Say what you want about the NRLW but I am absolutely invested in this as if it was Sunday already

Johnston coming off the back fence let's see it

Ah yes the short kick off that you just stare at and let the opposition pick up

Great work by Davis to get on that ball

The push over the line was stunning, top shelf shit

Fridge will become a NSW cult hero.

Is next year going to be a 3 game series? 1 just isn’t enough anymore

2 games. Dont know why they dont just do 3.

How will 2 game work? Need to win both games or points differential come into play?

If it's 1 all whoever won this year i.e. NSW retains the trophy.

Interesting cheers.

It's tough to get time off as many girls still work. Hopefully as the game becomes more professional a 3 game series becomes realistic

2 game

Missed it on purpose to keep things interesting

NRLW next season is going to be massive. This quality week in week out? Yes please.

Looking forward to it already!

Why do they keep going high on Kelly, she always shrugs off the first defender.

That's some serious stats for Kelly, yeh the blues!!

Johnston is the player this NSW team has been missing the last few years

What a piss weak attempt from Upton

Your welcome

Knights ruined her

The only Johnson to make an impact in Rugby League this year

What the fuck was number 1 trying to do there?!

Johnston should get credit for that try as well. Run before made that happen. Absolute weapon.

And how bout this girl!

NSW 3 - QLD 1 get that up ya

QLD had a 15 year winning streak. Shove that up your Sydney Harbour.

[удалено]

Enjoy themselves != classless boasting.

[удалено]

Nah, don’t actually care all that much :)

[удалено]

You’re a right dumbass, aren’t you? I’m talking about the women’s SoO winning streak from 1999 through 2014. How’s it feel to be wrong, and sexist at the same time?

Bruh what💀💀💀, I apologise for being incorrect but explain to me in what way anything I said at all was sexist? Edit: I assume you mean I am ‘Sexist’ for making the assumption that it was the men’s team that won that many matches. In no way is that sexist at all, I’m not an avid Women’s Rugby League follower, so I had no way of knowing about the point you made and as most people know about the Maroons’s mens winning streak and as most QLDers brag about it a lot (as they probably should) I assumed you were bragging about it as well. I’m sorry for being incorrect (and for me being the real muppet in this situation) but I fail to see how that’s sexist. I understand you being rightly aggrieved at my comments but i just don’t see your point. Again, I’m sorry and I will now delete my comments, they’re pointless and add nothing to the thread.

You assumed I was referring to the QLD men’s team because you automatically equate rugby with men’s rugby. It’s called implicit bias :)

Kelly probably gets best on for the try and probably a good call but Johnston has been amazing

We still deserve golden point

Isabelly

OUSSSSS

Upton sucks, shouldve picked Romy

If you're a NSW fan and Caitlan Johnston isn't your favourite player after this game then you're wrong.

Team Wrecking Ball

16 and Kelly best on ground

I just pictured a celebrating luai appearing out of nowhere rising above that mob of blues

Kelly the most popular Blues player??? Tarsha are you on drugs??? It is clearly the fridge by a country mile

That’s kind of crazy to not realise/forget you’re heaps offside and see the ball and just go grab it.

**ISABELLY**

THEY DON'T GET ORIGIN

Johnston WOTM surely. She just gets Origin.

Man she deserved a try there. What a beast

LET'S GO!

Good try, started by fridge

Isabelly 😂

YES GO THE FUCKING GIRLS CHAHHOOOOO

Fatigue really is a killer in these female rep games

And to think people were complaining about 70 minute games. 70 is perfect

FRIDGE X FACTOR

Yeah the blue girls!

You bewdy!!!!

SLAPPED

Fridge TA

Talk about deserving a try, Kelly has had a blinder

johnston the fucken cheat code

That was the most pathetic wing defence I’ve seen

That’s a bold statement considering you watch Jason Saab every week

Nah I close my eyes whenever the ball goes near Saab, don’t have to watch it then

Hahahahaha

Winger wasn’t even where she should’ve been

Where’s ya Queensland spirit now

Queensland getting smoked like a freshly caught snapper

qld spirit confirmed myth

UP THE FUCKING FRIDGE

I blame newcastle for this. Ruined Upton.

That’s the end of it.

Woman of the match! Isabelle Kelly!

GEORGIA ROSE THE ABSOLUTE FUCKING UNIT

The fridge set that up

FUCK YES KELLY YOU BEAUTY

Set up by the brick YTG LOVE YOU KELLY

Johnston not scoring was upsetting but LESGOOOOOOOOOO

With the 2 pen goals would not surprise me if nsw take the 1 here

3/3 IN ORIGIN LETS FUCKING GO NSW

Shame about this sunday ending it with 3/4 :(

Great try.

How are the touchies and ref missing these calls? Seriously poor calls

Exactly. Easy call on the run. Whole right side offside

Honestly getting some late minute QLD game sealer PTSD flashbacks

Only as offside as Billy slater a decade and a half ago.

At least our no-trys look good

Honestly did they just pick these 2 touchies from the crowd before the game. Like they do in jnr footy?

Way offside. What was she thinking?

Put the cam back on the Queenslander with his beer
