What a great game. If Qld were more composed at the end they would have won. Great defence and desperation from the Blues. They can only get better. I thought Cleary was virtually invisible in attack. Obviously the plan was for Maloney to run the show.

Agree. Gutho could have done a better job, if they just wanted a merkin to scurry about linking plays, defending in the centres or offering that second line of defence to shut down a line break.

Thurston was livid hunt kicked on 3rd with a player in the bin. Did they even attempt to attack the nsw right edge during that period?

You merkins are cooked! Ben Hunt is a big game player with a great record.

Single handedly won a GF for the Cowboys and almost single handedly won an Origin series for NSW. Brilliant player

what's even more brilliant is he did it on virtually the same blade of grass at anz stadium

our spine should be settled for the next couple of years
(Maloney is 33yo next year)

For QLD you would assume Ponga to 1 next year with Slater gone
They will stay with Munster at 6, but 7 and 9 anyones guess

to start with, hope we can go 3-0 this year and then repeat the effort next year
