To think Edrick Lee was the best winger on the field tonight lol
Ederick was average mate! Other than benefiting from his brothers mistake and lucky try, he was just a another plodder like toopoo. JAC was best of the wingers, could have easily been Holmes if he had some glue on those fingers.

I have to say while Cleary made some poor decision towards the end of the game where the hell was Walker in that first half? this is the guy Freddy dropped Keary for and I barely remember seeing him.

I don’t know why but I honestly don’t care that Queensland won.

Maybe it’s because of the year we’ve had or because they were massive underdogs. But I actually felt good for them watching their celebrations last night.

This was the blues problem during there glory years, most of the time for them just picking the best players and finding a spot in the 13 worked for them but every now and then they just wouldn't gel and we'd snag a series here or there, Qld really shouldn't have won a series during the 90's

1991 Qld still had a good side (Meninga, Langer, Lewis all playing) and it was a close series that came down to goal-kicks in Games 2 and 3.

1995 you had the SL war outbreaking and served as a distraction to Gus who himself admits now he could've managed that series better with everything else going on.

Meninga and Lewis were overrated, especially at that stage of there careers and Langer, while I hate to admit it I always felt Ricky Stuart was a far superior half back.

95 no way we should have won, that was a ridiculous result, to beat that blues team with the team we had, we won all 3. One win, maybe, in a dead rubber and the blues don't show up. When I was younger I was all yeah, Qld spirit, passion etc...etc, as I've gotten older I really question the integrity of that series now, blues had won 3 in a row, we had the shittest team in history yet somehow come up with a whitewash, a f**ken whitewash, yeah nah

I heard somebody else here a while back talk about their suspicions re. that '95 series. I don't think there was anything suss. Freddy mentioned that the night before the game in Brisbane, he and Chief were at the hotel and realised most of the team had gone to the casino and Freddy said "We're in trouble". Qld didn't have the distractions of the SL war like the NSW team/ coach did either.

In a normal season (which 1995 wasn't and neither was this season) I agree that NSW would've surely won.

When the game gets tight we are on a hiding to nothing when the QLD halves have 3 premierships between them and ours have 0.

If only there was a half in the squad who has won GFs, and stepped up in the biggest moments of the biggest games....

And wouldn't it be nice if such a player was partnered in the halves by a Dally M and CCM winner...

One can only dream I suppose.
