Outstanding Blues performance, probably the best in ages. Most of the players were fully committed and never gave up it was a typical Origin performance, putting the body on the line, not allowing Queensland to score a 2nd try. Brilliant.

The tries they scored were on the back of superb lead up play. The forwards did well, especially Fifita, well deserved Man of the match, although Tedesco wouldn't be far off.

Bring on Game 2!!

Maybe....but who else would you pick?

Pearce was ok....backed up nicely and scored a try.

He was shit and got gifted a try. He was thrown around like a rag doll when trying to tackle, he put in shit kicks, gave a hospital pass to maloney. Only good he did was back up for the try and one tackle he came out of the line for.

I'd have Bird/Maloney or Graham/Maloney.

Excellent rugby league despite the scoreline. Lots of missed tackles but only because of the speed of the play.

So Graham had 1 try assist and also setup another for Hayne to score and might I add both down the left side of the field.

If NSW want to start their own era of dominance they need to pick this guy in the starting team. There is NO better backrower in the comp with the skillset of this guy.

Go back and watch the game without blinkers on. Two piss poor short kicks were well outshadowed by a tremendous long kicking game, some superb defense and great organisation of his forwards. I get you don't like him, probably in a bandwagon sort of way but open your eyes. I can't stand Darius but I will admit when he does play well, which unfortunately is most of the time

Graham was great, but I think his skills are best suited at origin after the bash and whack has subsided a little
