Seriously dont get tne hate for Jackson.His defense was immense and NSW played the other side most of the night.QLD had done nothing down his side all night and the moment he went off Thurston went straight through.

He was one the NSW's best in my opinion.

I had no problem with the No try called, but overturning the knock on call not long after has got me beat.

Still NSW should've done more to win. Its the same old same old, thinking that they can go over the top of Queensland just by going up the middle. Throw the ball around, more offloading, run on it more.

Seriously the selection of Dylan Walker is the most pointless selection in Origin history. His first touch was at the 77th minute.

As for Queensland, well its typical Queensland. Almost every set of six they went about 40-50m. They've got a better kicking game, work off each other, putting pressure on NSW. They looked more determine to win that.

Raiders v warriors be a better game that that

No attack anywhere ... and if reynolds does one more mid field bomb I may rip that tattoo off his neck

So basically he did his job & laid the platform for the NSW backs to do their job...don't understand what Ennis could do much better, harshly criticised imo

I'm a big fan of Dylan Walker.... I think he's one heck of a talent....

But I don't get what the thinking was with picking him and only playing him in the final 10mins.

You pretty much handicap your pack by depriving them of another forward.

I understand having an impact guy off the bench... But surely they could have used him in the back end of the first half also...

Just seemed strange...

A bit of a Hail Mary play...they needed a penalty

When you consider how much the NRL charges for the viewing rights for Origin, that game didn't come close to the price tag.

Was no better than a Cowboys v Broncos game this year.

I know coaches are retained on win % but coaching to produce a game of that quality with low risk to moderate reward is absolute garbage.

Wasn't even close to cowboys v broncos

I thought the reversal of the qld knock on by the bunker deep in qld's half after new had set after set on our line was a little bit bullshit

All the NSW players involved were in front of the kicker so it should have been a penalty to start with.

His service was glacially slow and one of those forced drop outs was off a kick no one was expecting and only from a Queensland mistake.

Ennis straight in for Suncorp.
