If Hodkinson had put himself in a position to receive the ball and didn't get it I'd hang it on Farah but Hodkinson was so scared of f**king up he didn't even bother. The first one, Pearce attracted the inside chasers to the right, spun it back into the middle for Hodkinson, right foot or not he had very little pressure on him, even if he didn't want to take the shot he should've been the one putting boot to ball instead of throwing a cut out ball to Jennings who had a wall of defenders in front of him.
The second time, if he was behind the ruck on Farah's right hand side (the correct side for a right foot kicker) and Farah ignored him I'd hang it on Farah, but you watch the replay, Hodkinson was on Farah's left, the wrong side for him to take a shot and he wasn't back, he was in the line, was never in a position to take the shot

4th tackle before you're first option was surely his best shot. All the commentators were claiming he was there, but Farah went to Pearce who shuffled it thru the hands. On the Dugan attempt, he was in position and Farah didn't pick the right man. There is an issue between Farah and Hodkinson, I am sure. Notice how many time Hodkinson got the ball on the fifth in the second half. Pearce must have kicked every time.

I don't care who's fault it is, but Daley needs to sort it out.

Who replaces Pearce then? Who replaces that timid little mong Hodkinson? 3-0 a very real possibility now.

Two offside penalties in a row then. One rest of game wtf? Seriously if your going to start penalising something like offside you have to be consistent. Could have pinged both teams probably ten times each at least.

I thought slater was a try. The minute the blocker stopped chasing ball and tried to stop slater reaching it was the time it was fair play to knock him out of way.

Hodkinson was MIA. Blues forward pack got rolled the entire second half. Blues kicking game was under three, fourth grade reggies stuff. Would of been better off jogging down field and handing it back to QLD.

NSW can't go into the next game with Pearce and Hodkinson as the halves. Less than zero creativity between them.

They actually got a few nice kicks in that found ground or got qld tackled in the 10m, but their kick chase & line speed was soo poor in that second half that they just let them out of their end so easily and ended up finishing the set in NSW half with an attacking kick. they really missed Gallen and bird IMO.

Is that the standard of Origin these days? One of the worst games ever. Rather watch the U20s - get more excitement out of it..

Kiwis v Aus should play 5 tests every year minimum.

Was Farah even the dummy half who threw it to Dugan. Looked like Pearce to me. I think Farah had made himself a field goal option on that play.

Not sad, it's Origin and it's ordained that Qld must win, I'm stunned we broke the convention last year.

Perhaps you can point out the refs decisions that hurt Qld.

One offside penalty in the entire second half which allowed Qld to get in position to score their try.

And unsurprisingly, NSW didn't get a single offside penalty all game.

But in the set of six prior to Qld getting the penalty, Qld was offside at least 3 times, the commentators even mentioned it.

But that's okay because it's origin and Qld gets the leg up.

Log off mate. You're only embarrassing yourself further.

It is pretty strange. Both sides were guilty of being offside, either you penalise them both for that, or not at all

I'm all for Farah getting dropped for someone better, but peats is nowhere near him.

Friend, segyearo, ballin sure. Peats is average and surprisingly soft.

Unfortunately, Friend is a Queenslander, and Segs is a PNGer but has been kidnapped by Queensland. Farah had a quiet game but he's got a lot of runs on the board.

I love Blake Austin but his defence would be a problem. The raiders right edge bleeds metres and hes a big part of the problem.

He would be great in attack though
