Great win, but I reckon we got a bit loose there in the last 20 or so, just trying to score off trick shots early in the count rather than keeping the pressure up and breaking down the Qld defence.

Score could have been even more lopsided if we stuck with what was working, hope we don't carry that attitude into game three. I want to see a whitewash, and a convincing one at that.

Imagine the NBA decided to keep playing the finals series to 7 even once a side reached 4 wins. People would call it ridiculous.

There never should be a 3rd game unless it is split and then they schedule it. Game 3 means nothing. It f**ks 2 rnd of NRL up and rusks players getting injuries. It will be played more as an exhibition as players already know the series result. Side will throw the ball around and play without risk.

It is time for the NRL to grow some brains and make this logical decision.

Yeah , nah
Maybe the NBA can afford to do it (after 4 matches), but not the NRL or ARL (after 2 matches). Maybe have the origin series best of 7, then fair enough ;-)

An origin dead rubber still brings in huge revenue and still rates very well. Would also get a huge crowd in Sydney if not for the covid shit

Plus be great this time around to smack the canetoads 3-0, which history shows a clean sweep is hard to do

Do you feel the 12 x NRL games are effected during these periods? I know plenty of friends who don't bother watching during these times.
