Well, highlight for me in that half was McManus' brilliant try saving tackles. Pretty much proving his selection.

Both sides have 40 minutes to go for all out try-fest.

I want offloads and linebreaks and tackle busts and set plays.

DCE, Chambers, Gillet, Guerra.

The old guys will likely retire this year.

To claim NSW is going to dominate Origin for years to come based on this series only, is a foolish at best.

Chambers and guerra are waaaayy out of their depth here. Hanging your hat on them is like hanging your hat on gids and Pearce to be the NSW future and we all know how that went.

How terrible is the Queensland attack now? 6 points with that field position, possession and ref's carrying them is a victory for NSW already. when it evens up QLD won't defend nearly as well as NSW have.

Queensland have had almost all the ball, yet Smith has not stopped whinging for 40 minutes

NSW are doing what they know in Soccer as parking the bus, trying to hang on with a 2 point lead despite being played off the park

They'll probably score a soft try in the 2nd half to seal the deal and we'll have to listen to Laurie "their forwards are going forward" Daley go on about what a legendary performance that was

Bloody impressive line defense from the Blues for 90% of that half. Showing plenty of pride and passion.

Queensland certainly haven't been getting a hard time from the ref so far, but no calls I'm livid about. Missed the only try of the half due to the shittiness of Chinese internet for streaming.

NSW defense was incredible, but in attack - f**king horrible. They couldn't bust through a punctured condom.

Can see QLD kicking clear in the second half if this continues. No way NSW has the gas to repeat that defensive effort.

Hell yeah...but the sooking will still continue having lost the series.

Queensland should be in front by 20 , they have had every single thing go their way.

NRL need Queensland to win otherwise there will be 5k at Suncorp next year and QUeenslanders saying that Origin is dead unless they can hand pick 7 NSW players to bolster their team.

QLD have always been out of their depth, thats what making Origin great.

But hey be confident that NSW will dominate all you want mate.
