Yeah QLD were missing players but NSW didnt have a better team on paper.

Woods, Hayne, and of course Pearce should never play for NSW again.

At the end of the day, NSW thought they were superior and proved they are a failure as a team.

Just got home from the game with the biggest shit eating grin you could ever imagine.

Not gonna carry on like f**ktard but that was a sweet win.

Commiserations to the blues fans, your time will come.


And then you remember that even NSW have won silverware more recently than another Qld team I can think of...

The Queensland forwards outplayed their Blues counterparts and won the game for Queensland. What I think there should be more of is the "we wuz robbed by the refs" call that normally goes up after every NSW loss.
By the way it's great to be a Queenslander right now LOL.

This is the reality. Our middle was shit in the first 20. We could not adapt to Qlds approach and it told. Peats did not scoot from dummy half once all night.

That is coaching....

Just when you think it can't get any better, the Maroons produce a performance like that.

Not only was it a inspirational effort from the 17 involved, but the tactics were on-point. Through out the entire series, the Maroons had targeted the fringe of Maloney & Hayne relentlessly with very little in place for Plan B. Last night they found their Plan B, targeting the bigger men around the ruck, giving the talented backline the opportunity to showcase their skill-set.

The decision to go with the Melbourne Storm spine proved to be a master-stroke. They're a special unit and tonight they wrote another important chapter in their legacy. We all know how brilliant Slater, Cronk and Smith are but tonight Cameron Munster etched his name in Origin folklore and ultimately took the game away from the Blues.

In 2004, the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs managed to overcome the loss of their captain and defeat the Sydney Roosters in torrid conditions. On that night, a young Johnathan Thurston reportedly offered his medal to Steve Price, in a gesture that would signify how important he was to the team. 13 years on the Maroons despite all odds triumph over one of the strongest New South Wales sides to ensure Johnathan Thurston's Origin career could end on one final positive.

From a try-saving tackle on Luke Rooney to a sideline conversion to keep his team alive, we have witnessed one of the all-time great Origin careers.

The post is about to be some long winded, repetitive bullshit but I'm going to post it anyway because it'll make me feel slightly better.

It should not be ducking possible to win one series from the last 13 in a two horse race. I don't care how good a pack of future immortals are, we have come too close too many times to put it dows to bad luck, or discepency in skill level for that matter.

How is it that we we lead by 10 points in game two, with a 1-0 series advantage and go on to f**k it up. So many individual moments can be pinpointed but there's really no point.

Tonight? Well that was f**king pathetic. I can't even remember where we looked like scoring? Even our try was lucky. The mentality for their third was up there with the worst I've ever seen in origin. How Holmes had time to juggle the ball, fall over, roll, get back up and score without being touched is inexcusable.

We cooked it this year, and with young guns like Munster and Holmes shining, we are going to need the lube once more next year.

Congratulations Queensland fans, I envy the culture you two headed bastards have.
Difference is culture is so strong that you can taste it. Do nsw players ever mention their fans going to work or school happy the next day?

Fifita talked so tough after game 2, talked about revenge and scoured the internet to try too find any perceived slight against him.Then just dogged it.

Graham was putting on the fake tough guy act last night, pointing out QLD and then doing nothing.

Woods only tactic is trying to milk penalties.

Cooper, Gillet and McGuire just got on with the job.

Agree with all of that.
NSW have issues with the mental side of the game.

What was the name of the genius that was paid to do a full review of NSW Origin set up 5 years back???? He needs to give the money back and make a full apology to the people of NSW. And if he is still involved at any level in any club or even worse at NRL headquarters, then he must be removed immediately.

It's f**king criminal that Josh Jackson has an official Man of the Match award when he he produced a third of the output of QLDs back three forwards and half of his own teams fellow backrowers.

4 missed tackles from Plodner, 2 or 3 knock ons, let 2 trys in. True captains knock.

Frizel playing lock had 5 runs in 57 mins, thats not good enough. Not good enough at all!!!!
Macquire playing lock played 5 mins longer and had 14 runs.

Fook it,carry on to your hearts content.Most of us in here are quite used to it from over 12 years of ridicule.

After a while,one does get used to the usual bullshit we serve up.
