the problem is i don't think rushing anasta or worse, anasta and pearce, into game 3 and expecting miracles is going to do anyone any favours.

Game three will be totally different because the ref won't be the QLD crowd.

Archer thinks he's the biggest star on the field and always plays to the crowd.

I think people are being to harsh on Wallace in the first half he was screaming for the ball and instead of passing that idiot Kurt Gidley went the blindside.

Plus i noticed in the second half Wallace barely touched the ball and it was mostly Gidley or Bird. Gidley was easily NSW worst tonight and he might be a great club player but everytime he has played Origin he performs badly.

Gasnier's putting in, it's Turner that's the problem.

Archer needs a kick up the ass. Forward passes aren't being called against QLD and penalties aren't being examined. Atrocious refereeing is ruining this game but at least it makes SOO3 a decider.

QLD will win but I get the feeling NSW will put up a fight.

Anasta is a must. Now time to let my bias show. We need genuine props and Perry and Kite should be considered. Some backrowers with footwork and the ability to offload would be good too. I put forward Stewart and Watmough for consideration. Gasnier cant defend, get Lyon in there. And Orford is leading the try assists this year.
I know ive gone overboard but how does a team that was the second best to a hot Melbourne team all last year and is currently leading this years comp, most tries scored, least tries conceded, most metres gained, most completions and probably one of the leading teams in offloads only get one player in Origin
Please :pray::pray::pray:

Anasta and Pearce won't save you if you're forward pack is getting routed. Witness the Manly game.

Doesn't matter Blues - you can do it all again after Origin 3 - Queensland 30 to blot - no amount of reffing controversies can hide the fact of NO CREATIVITY.

nqboy - I think that should read Smashed Brothers

First half was where it was won, and ALL 16 points came from blatantly incorrect decisions.

If Archer gets Game III it's a sad state of affairs. There were obvious mistakes in the first half that practically handed the game to QLD. Second half I think NSW knew it was game over.

Steve Turner must NOT play in Game III btw

Well, the glaring deficiencies in NSW side have been made clear, as many pointed out before game 1. In game 1 we were lucky to have an underdone QLD side and a home game, not so this time. With a non-existent five eigth, and ONE prop, we have no hope of winning game 3. Tupou out, Bird to Lock, Gallen out for Bailey, Anasta to Five Eighth.

The Gasnier/Turner side of the field was weak and QLD exploited it no doubt. They also exploited Archer, Turner & Sutton's inability to pick up on a rule in the game called "FORWARD PASS" but I'm sure we'll hear little about that. :roll:
