After the Game 2 loss in the 2025 State of Origin series, New South Wales players Liam Martin and Zac Lomax faced brutal online criticism from fans.
According to reports from zerotackle.com, Martin received a particularly harsh direct message that labeled him as a "grub" and an "ugly human," even suggesting he should be removed from the NRL.
In response, Martin shared a screenshot of the message on his social media with the caption, "Don't be like Beau."
The Penrith second-rower struggled during the game in Perth, where the Blues fell short in a dramatic comeback, setting up a decisive Game 3 in Sydney in three weeks.
