Carrying my bucket around for the next 3 weeks. The Thurston propaganda is going to be spew worthy and could be in the Lockyer love fest level back in 2011.

i love how for 3 weeks everyone has been talking NSW up as though they had already won the series.
you merkins will never learn hahaha.
Lol
Shut up merkin.
Thurston, Smith, lockyer, Inglis, cronk, slayer.
Some of the best merkins to ever play.
As much as I love nsw, I'm in awe of those merkins.
I'm surprised we even won a single game!
You qld merkins have been blessed.

i like the part where nsw forgot theyre allowed to score in the second half of an origin game :)

i guess hayne not passing to Morris in the first half for an easy try came back to bite them
 

big hit!

I'm not sure what my favourite part was, Pearce once again showing he is not a rep halfback and completely failing to take charge in the second half, or QLD conceding zero penalties despite playing exactly the same footy they did in the first half where they conceded 4.

i don't think Maloney took charge of much either.

the whole team should gang on graham and give the merkin a beating in the showers. his ill discipline in defence gave QLD the sniff.

then he gives away penalties to give QLD field position. the rest of the team just froze as the game got away from them.

what about every ones favourite Wade graham? two crucial penalties and lucky he didn't give away another on slater. and his defence allowing Mcguire to break through.

NSW lost it by going away from the game plan. even with all their guns coming back on in the last 20', they were still second best in the forwards by playing timid

He was the lazy player not sliding across to cover the inside hole on the final try after giving away the penalty in the first place.

Totally agree with you... But at what stage do you say enough and try something different... Hell there's a runner on the field every five seconds giving directions..

All in all, entertaining game.. Qld more desire in the end

I guess you can't throw some poor prick into game 3 at Suncorp to clean up his mess.

Let the prick go up there and taste his shit once more, then banish him forever.

Lile Joey is blowing up about now - why the F*CK did Pearce not steer the attack towards Thurston in the second half?????

So many levels of stupidity and ineptness.

Obviously it was Jarryd Hayne's dream to win a game for QLD.

Most selfish and cowardly origin performance I've ever seen
I'm the first to admit Hayne was terrible but he's still not a patch on Pearce's Origin highlight reel.

And I actually think Pearce played ok tonight.

Ahh well, classic stitch up to ensure a live game 3. With the NRL money woes, this is just what the doctor ordered.
This will ensure the value of the series for some FTA channel that wants it.

Now that ch 10 is in receivership,there will be only 9 and 7 in the race.The danger here is that if a duopoly is determined,a 3rd party in the guise of Foxtel could come into the mix.

BTW,if we lose this un-loseable series,who can we replace Daley with?...Sheens?
