Really disappointed they blew that lead. Queensland didn't play great but played enough to get the result with the field position and go forward. Yes they were helped a few times with dodgy calls but NSW should've done better. You don't defend your way out of Origin. Each time they put a deep kick Queensland were in trouble, but the kicks from NSW on other times were poor. Maloney and Pearce. FFS they should've controlled the game once Queensland scored first in the second half.

Its going to be tough going to Suncorp for a decider.

nsw deserve to lose. they deviated from what got them the lead and reverted to their old habits if driving to defend a win. justice served
I was just about to say,what happend to the NSW team to change all of a sudden from having a well structured performed 1st half,to suddenly go to absolute shit? Did Hayne get signalled out and castigated by his teamates during the break? Cos that is what seems to have happened in what we saw in the 2nd half.

In a nutshell,a loss like this should not have happened.This is more of what you call an implosion...an implosion from within.

If Hayne is picked for the 3rd game,Queensland will be cheering,and I definitely won't be watching.

The Office will be on...better laughs.
 

big hit!

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.

Hayne is talked up as the greatest NSW player in history, most of all by Hayne himself. I think we can expect more out of him that Pearce, or any other player in the side.

Pearce played well in the first half, and then shut up shop along with the rest of the blues spine in the second. Maloney disappears from the field from all but the 4th tackle of each NSW attacking set but no one will have a bad word to say about him.

Hayne and Graham cost NSW the game. Hayne with some of the most selfish plays in origin history, and Graham with just boneheaded penalties plus some pathetic defence on Gagai's 2 tries.

If NSW were to change anyone, I'd drop those 2 idiots
