Matt Bowen is a legend

[Gingermick]

And thats all there is to it.

[womble]

of course he's a legend, he's from north queensland after all...:cool:

[Jack E]

I think Brett Kimmorley was Qld's best assett and I go for NSW.

Jack.

[silentC]

Legend? Maybe. What he was last night was lucky. The guy who won the game though was Thurston. Without that there would have been no golden point. Two more games to go.

It should've been a draw though.

[Daddles]

Who TF is Matt Bowen :confused:

Who TF is Matt Bowen :confused:

Richard

If he's in Queensland and hes famous then he must have done something really bad
:D

[ptc]

Down here they don't know what origin is.
it's all aerial ping pong.had to watch it on 7 central.
it should have been a draw ( ex queenslander )
i agree with Jack.

[Zed]

noddy was not on fire for most of the match, as wasnt barrett. fitzgibbon and hindmarsh had blinders but alas. i think that gasnier should move into the back row; im not a real fan of his in the backs - however his broken field running is outstanding. frigin queenslanders - gotta say they were pumped and looked the goods.

all this from a one eyed roach!

[flea1607]

Just a question guys - over here in the west where there is nothing but aerial ping pong.

Who won pleaseeeeeeeeeeee?????:confused:

[silentC]

they were pumped and looked the goods
They did in the first half, I'll give you that. The big fellas were getting a bit tired by the middle of the second though. Hagan said as much. He knew that it was skin of the teeth stuff. It's alright to come out firing in the first half but if you can't sustain it all the way until full time a consistent team will win it everytime. Unfortunately that wasn't NSW last night.

[Zed]

who got man of the match ? lockyer or croker ?

[silentC]

Steve Price I thought....

[Iain]

Who TF is Matt Bowen :confused:

Richard
Ditto!!!

[craigb]

Just a question guys - over here in the west where there is nothing but aerial ping pong.

Who won pleaseeeeeeeeeeee?????:confused:

Queensland. In extra time.

Craig (who turned it off when QLD were ahead 19:0 ahead in the 2nd half :o )

[Daddles]

Ahh, so you're talking about some sporting contest. Well, I know that in football, the states aren't playing at the moment so it can't be that. And in footbrawl, the states aren't playing, so it must be thugby. And Qld won. Well done chaps. Jolly good show. Pip pip old son. :D

Cheers
Richard
but who TF is Matt Bowen? :confused:

Qld 19 NSW O at half time
20 all at full time last minute second field goal by Qld to draw
Golden point, a very lucky fluke type intersept try by some Qld bloke to finish

Steve Price MOTM I think Though Hindmarsh should have been



The trouble with life is there's no background music.

[DaveInOz]

I didn't see anyone on the paddock having a bad game, everyone did the job that was asked, many went above and beyond.
I agree Price MOTM, and Hindmarsh close, but Smith was another that played a special game.

All the players should be proud

even the umpiring was above season standard :eek:

[Trav]

bring back Andrew Johns. That is all there is to it.

Kennedy was the only thing saving the blues from a whitewash (or maroonwash) in the first half.

And what was the story with Watmough? I'm not sure he even made the field...

Trav

[flea1607]

Thanks guys - next 2 times the Blues to win.!!!!!!!!:D

[Gingermick]

, a very lucky fluke type intersept try .
More likely a bad pass then a fluke intercept.
The funny thing about Matty Bowen is that he does these lucky flukey things almost every week.

[bitingmidge]

Just back after the Festival of the Boot (or whatever the boys are calling it this year) followed by a big day up north ... worst thing about being there in person was missing Roy & HG's call.

Best thing was watching all the tossers who thought the world would end if the team they support didn't win.

Like it would if NSW had got up!!!

:D :D :D

Triffic game to be at though!

P :D

[Gingermick]

Taking glee in another's misery, there's a word for that, What is it?

[Pat]

Grrrr, canetoads, carn the roach's!!!! :D

[Daddles]

Awwww come on guys. I've tried to be rude about your player and you keep ignoring me. Come on, someone be rude back. I'm starting to develop a complex :D

Richard
BTW, who the hell is Matt Bowen? :confused:

[craigb]

Taking glee in another's misery, there's a word for that, What is it?

Schadenfreud? Although not being German that is probably completely misspelled.

What say you Jim? :D

[bitingmidge]

Taking glee in another's misery, there's a word for that, What is it?
QUEENSLANDER!!


:D :D :D
P

[boban]

who got man of the match ? lockyer or croker ?
The queensland players gave it to Simpkins (ref) followed by Kimmorley. Did he kick well once?

Robbed I say, we were robbed.......bring back Gower or that young kid from Parra.

[Harry72]

Bah the only good thing about it was Roy & HG on JJJ, funny I reckon HG must've been ******.

[Harry72]

*****= drunk!

[Gingermick]

Schadenfreud? Was thinking more along the line of sadist
But Queenslander will do just fine.

Richard,
Matthew Bowen scored the winning points in Wednesday night's State of Origin match. The NSW half-back tried to float a long pass to get around him and failed. Matt Bowen in-ter-sep-ted the pass and scored the points.
(I have tried to use non rugby league related terms and spell things fo-net-ik-ally as well in case there are more problems in translation:p )

[RETIRED]

And I thought it was so Queenslanders would understand. :D :D

Sorry, just couldn't resist. :o

[flea1607]

Dam , I was going to tell him the speak slower to help with the translation.:D

[Gingermick]

He's still a legend, ... I must blame the commentators for the defeat. Dastardly blasted, ... no Fatty , that;s what it was.

[Jack E]

Bloody Matt Bowen,

I was looking forward to having a go at all the Queenslanders beacuse their only try was scored off a Matt Singh forward pass but Bowen had to go and score another try didn't he :) :) :)

Jack.

[bitingmidge]

I think HG had it right. Bloody referee with no pea in his whistle, the death of Football really!

P(Who doesn't care less, except on the nights Queensland wins!)
:D :D :D

What was that about tossers.............

[bitingmidge]

What was that about tossers.............

I'm thinking that there'd be a lot of people in NSW tonight expecting me to subsidise their headache medication.

Well there are lots of injustices in the world, and we are all entitled to access a fair and equitable medical treatment regime irrespective of age, race or income.

I can't believe this thread has gone on for so long and no one has brought our attention to social injustice!

Cheers,

I feel I should warn you that there are substantial fines and possible criminal charges for committing any act or making any statement that could be viewed by a reasonable person as a terrorist threat. This includes reference to bombs, concealed weapons, or weapons of mass destruction in general.

Where are all these responsible people, anyway.

Oh and yar boo sucks to Queensland :p

[bitingmidge]

Where are all these responsible people, anyway.

I think the people responsible are being hunted even as we speak from the mountains of Afghanistan to the back streets of Washington.

It is a relentless pursuit, but the coalition of the Willies won't give up until the US constitution has been amended to replace the "right to bear arms" with the "right to bear-hugs".

P(There were some very funny looking seeds in my porrige this morning Mum!)



:D :D :D

[speedy]

who's Matt Bowen????????:rolleyes:

[Daddles]

who's Matt Bowen????????:rolleyes:

Apparently he's one of Zed's cousins. Big bugga. Runs around chasing others of Zed's mob, trying to take their ball from them. Yeah, sounds kinda weird I know but it impresses Queenslanders :D

Richard

with apologies to Zed

[Wongo]

Who won? Who won? Who won? Who won? tell me pleassssse! :D

[JDarvall]

Richard

Thats what I was thinking :confused: .......... is he that bloke who owns that fantastic chocalate shop on summerland way ?........ if thats the bloke, then I agree, he IS definetly a legend.

[Zed]

sucked in queensland. pack of complete loosers, you need a big pack and backs not the midgets your fond of this year .... no heart....

[JDarvall]

What the HELL are you talking about....????? This thread is about "Matt Bowen" and his famous chocolate shop.....you idiot !!!! not about what you think about some kind of foxtel documentry on some long lost tribe of Queensland midgets....? sheeeez some people can be just SO stupid.. :rolleyes:

[Gingermick]

you need a big pack ..
We had Webb and Price but they were knobbled. knobbled I tell ya.

[Wongo]

Well, I still don’t understand why they dropped Billy Slater. If you have been watching him for the past 2 years then you'll think “Man, I want this guy in my team”.

For whatever cunning plan they had there in Queensland, you’ll think Slater should be part of if. Can someone please tell me why? :confused:
:)

[Zed]

Wongo, QLD'S cunning plan was to fold like a deck of cards after 15 minutes of play followed by a last minute try after the portly sheila put on the pointy hat and warmed up witha nice glass of red to lubricate the throat. good to see they stuck to the game plan. very impressive.

sucked in qld. I hope your armpits are covered in fungus from the humidity....


heheheheheheheheheheeeeee......... :p

[Ashore]

:)Hagan's decision to play Bowen instead
Maybe he wanted him worn out so Newcastle wont have to face him on sunday







Don't take life too seriously; No one gets out alive.

Richard
but who is Matt Bowen? :confused:
That's what I want to know

Actually State of Origin is a South Australian Invention. It has been played between Victoria and SA since the turn of the previous century. Just not now sadly as the clubs are to busy whining about letting their players play somewhere else and not for premiership points.

MMMM did you know that the great South Aussie Essington Lewis kicked the winning goal for SA in about 1920 on the monday that the match was on when he pulled a sicky from BHP.

His boss kicked him big time but Lewis rose to be boss of BHP got Menzies saddled with the name Pig Iron Bob guided Australias industry through WW2 and then the post war reconstruction.

Can't see a legend like that playing League

He probably rose to the top of BHP so he could do something at an international level.

Something which will never happen in AFL :D :D :D

Why is it that whenever footy is mentioned we have to have discussion about the different codes.
We all know the order of greatness for footy is Rugby Union followed by Rugby League and after that, who cares. :D :D :D

I don't!!!!
