QLD v NSW Origin 2 Preview + Flanno at Saints - NOT The Footy Show Episode 293

Join Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson for Episode 293 of NOT The Footy Show as we preview the chances NSW have of beating Queensland in State of Origin Game 2 at Lang Park. Plus we discuss Shane Flanagan to St George Illawarra and his chances of keeping Ben Hunt in the Red V in 2024. 

NSW won't have Nathan Cleary, Latrell Mitchell or Api Koroisau for Game 2 with Brad Fittler putting all his eggs in the Mitchell Moses, Stephen Crichton and Damien Cook/Reece Robson basket with the series on the line. 

QLD aren't without issues with no Arrow, Cobbo or Gilbert - will they miss some aggression in this one? They only need one win to secure the Origin Shield though... so advantage QLD. 

The boys agree it all boils down to Luai and Moses to keep this Series alive. 

Thanks for listening everyone.

QLD + NSW Game 1 State of Origin Teams - NOT The Footy Show Episode 292

Join Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson for Episode 292 of NOT The Footy Show as we examine the QLD and NSW teams named by Billy Slater and Brad Fittler for State of Origin Game 1. 

Tom Trbojevic has quite rightly been selected but it was Queensland who pulled off the biggest shock with Kalyn Ponga dumped for Reece Walsh... suddenly it's QLD who have decided leaving out class players is a good idea. 

Of course Freddy waited til after we'd recorded to finalise his NSW 1-17 team so our squad analysis for the Blues is a bit off but not by much. 

Both teams look really strong - so we've given our tips for Game 1. 

Thanks for listening everyone.

Munster Mash Origin 1 Review - NOT The Footy Show Episode 252

Join Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson for Episode 252 of NOT The Footy Show to review Cam Munster's masterpiece as QLD beat NSW 16-10 in Game 1 of the 2022 State of Origin Series in Sydney. 

Queensland now take a 1-0 series lead to Perth later this month and a host of confidence after losing last year's series in two games. Ashley Klein may get a mention but QLD were the better team.

Apart from Munster who toyed with NSW, Valentine Holmes and Patrick Carrigan were outstanding with Harry Grant a difference maker off the bench. For NSW, Jack Wighton was their best along with James Tedesco but Nathan Cleary was very disappointing in the 6 point defeat. 

Changes loom for the Blues who looked disjointed and exposed by Queensland in the ruck, whereas Queensland look like they will only need to find a replacement for Xavier Coates who was injured. 

Bring on Game 2.

State of Origin 1 Teams - NOT The Footy Show Episode 251

Join Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson for Episode 251 of NOT The Footy Show as they dissect the NSW Blues and QLD Maroons Teams selected for Game 1 of the 2022 State of Origin Series. 

There's 7 rookies set to lineup in Game 1 as Brad Fittler and Billy Slater ring the changes from last year's series - won 2-1 by NSW. 

We talk the massive loss of Tom Trbojevic on NSW's setup and style, and the reasoning behind the axing of Josh Addo-Carr and Jake Trbojevic. 

As for QLD - we think Billy Slater is getting a little too cute with Ben Hunt starting over Harry Grant but it is the selection of Rueben Cotter that gets us talking. 

It's just our second show of 2022, so enjoy them while you get 'em.

A Munsterclass wins QLD the 2020 Origin Series - NOT The Footy Show Episode 226 19/11/2020

Join Matthew Duncan, Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson for NOT The Footy Show's Origin 3 Review Podcast, as QLD take out the series few expected them to win. 

We go into how good Cameron Munster and QLD were in Game 1 and 3 and how Uncle Benny pulled all the right strings for the worst QLD side of all time. 

We ask how Gerard Sutton can ever referee an Origin game again? 

And delve deeply into the mistakes NSW and coach Brad Fittler made on and off the field that opened the door to the Maroons to end the Blues' quest for a three-peat. 

Enjoy.

Back to Back Blues - NOT The Footy Show Episode 198 17/07/2019

Join Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson as they recap the 2019 State of Origin Decider and NSW's back to back Series victory - as the Blues prove they are the best in show right now.

James Tedesco and Damien Cook were the difference but how good was it to see Mitchell Pearce's final Origin chapter end in him throwing the decisive pass in the winning try!

Our evaluations on players and their performances in the series are given, plus we debate if Tedesco and Cook could one day be considered the best NSW fullback and hooker of all time?

Plus we look into the challenges ahead of the Gold Coast Titans and answer a few listener questions on Jai Arrow, Andrew Ettingshausen on Survivor and get asked if Ricky Stuart a chance for Coach of the Year?

The Decider! State of Origin 2019 Game 3 Preview - NOT The Footy Show Episode 197 02/07/2019

Join Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson as they preview The Decider - State of Origin Game 3 for 2019.

NSW crushed QLD 38-6 to level the series in Perth, and as a result QLD have made 3 changes and NSW zero. But that means no David Klemmer for NSW, and Kalyn Ponga will miss through injury for QLD.

So all your Game 3 Predictions are within.

Plus we answer 3 listener questions including a cracker on what our most memorable Origin moment of all time is?

Where's Latrell? State of Origin 2019 Game 2 Preview - NOT The Footy Show Episode 196 18/06/2019

Join Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson as they pick apart the team changes for NSW and QLD ahead of Game 2 of the 2019 State of Origin Series.

Oh yeah... NSW left out Latrell Mitchell... inconceivable.

Queensland took Game 1 in Brisbane 18-14 and have made just two enforced changes due to injury, while NSW coach Brad Fittler has hit the panic button with seven changes... but NSW have to win so it makes sense right...?

The big question debated on Episode 196 is did Freddy pick this team or even the Game 1 team or is someone else pulling the strings?

Let the debate begin as Rep Round 2019 is upon us.

2013 State of Origin Special: NOT The Footy Show Episode 129 - 01/06/2013

The team reunites for an hour and a bit of Origin chat, a dash of fun and perhaps, some frivolity.

Warrick Nicolson is joined in studio by Nic McInerney and Dave Chapman to preview The State of Origin Series and Game 1 with guests Jake Hauritz, Matthew Duncan and a special appearance by the Queen of Rugby League Maria Tsialis.

We're not coming back by any means but we thought this might be a good excuse to catch up with friends and a treat to those fans who actually miss us every week.
