Sterlo and Daley both love Mitch. NSW want him to be Captain eventually, like Daddy. Somewhere down the track, they will probably want him to coach NSW, like Daddy.

The difference is, that Daddy could win a Series.

Pearce has to shoulder his fair share of the blame in this one as he went in to ben hunt 2015 GF mode to run the clock down.

Having said that wade graham can't be sleeping well at the moment. Even though the team derped the 2nd half we still had them out on their legs pinned on their own 10m line at tackle 3 with 7 minutes to go and he performs a blatant strip. It has to be right up there with the dumbest plays ever. We are 99% to win that game if we don't concede a penalty in the last 7 minutes. Once the penalty was blown it was 50/50

Hayne and Graham were hugely responsible for NSW losing that game.

If Hayne passed to BMoz NSW win. If Graham tackles McGuire or doesn't strip Napa NSW most likely win.

They both plodded it up.

But no, let's dedicate a thread to Pearce instead...

C'mon Tommy. We all know Myth is the rugby league equivalent of monty panasar.

So it was Mitchell Pearce's fault NSW didn't win eh? Hmm. Can't remember him giving away multiple penalties piggy backing Qld out of their own quarter (hello Jarryd Hayne and Wayde Graham), throwing flick passes which were either dropped or went behind the support and into touch (hello Jarryd Hayne), or going themselves for the line when they had an unmarked players in support and not scoring (hello Jarryd Hayne). I could even say the pass from Maloney outside to Morris for his try instead of to the support player inside could have cost us the game as it ensured a much harder kick at goal, a kick which he missed.

Also, if Pearce is to blame, why then has Laurie Daley stated he never sent out any messages in the second half to get anyone to run at Jonathan Thurston and his bung shoulder? Also the number of penalties given away in the second half cost us big time. Had Graham not done his stupid strip on tackle 4, Qld would not have been as close as they were for Gagai's second try.

Always amazes me in a team game, when multiple players made mistakes, it is one player's fault and the ones who made the mistakes are overlooked. FMD!

The point is not that he lost the game it's that he didn't do his job as a halfback and win it when it was there to be won.

Do you realise that NSW had a chance to win the Series and fooked up?. Do you realise that NSW had the series momentum and lost it? If they had the hunger, actually had the hunger, they would have capitalised on their 10 point half time lead at their home ground in front of 60,000 plus NSW fans to humiliate QLD? They were the team humiliated.

QLD gambled on the wrong team in Game 1. NSW had been gifted Game 1 by the worst QLD performance in 12 years coinciding with deservedly the best NSW performance in 12 years. QLD have consistently been the better team for all but one of those years. And by corollary NSW have been consistently the losing team for all but one of those years. NSW fielded the same team both games. QLD had a different team for games 1 and 2. Supposedly the story goes that NSW superiority won them Game 1. The same NSW team plays Game 2, blows a 10 point half time lead, and loses the chance to wrap up the Series, loses momentum. Same team now exposed as not necessarily superior.

One game each. QLD has the better track record since 2005. QLD more often than not closes-out the Series. QLD has the momentum. The series heads back to QLD.

What are you basing your confidence upon? QLD's worst Game in decades being repeated? That we'll selected the same Game 1 team again? That NSW will suddenly discover the secret of winning when they just screwed their chance to close out the Series in Game 2 and go for a whitewash? When they blew a 10 point lead? Against a QLD half with one arm not working?

Is it confidence or NSW hubris?

See QLD are confident because they more consistently know how to win more than one game per Series. QLD are confident because they are not fielding the Game 1 team. QLD are confident because they ran down NSW' 10point lead and kept the Blues scoreless in the second-half. QLD are confident because NSW is not considering any changes to their team.

It'll be interesting to see how the bookies odds are the next game.

Pearce has improved though in that he hasn't been the worst on ground for us in either game this year.

Prior to Game 2; All Conquering Heroes. During Game 2 blow 10 point lead, lose opportunity to close out series. After Game 2 we toss around discussions of who was worst on ground.

Pearce's best performance this series was when he got injured and NSW played without the dud for 30minutes...anencephaly won that 30mins 16-0!

Wade had a shocker no doubt. His worst origin appearance.

How many Origin Games has Mitchy Witchy played now? 15? 16? How many winning Origin Series to his name. None?

That's zero percent success rate. At that rate he'll be improving forever.

How many Origin Games has Cooper Cronk played in? He broke his arm early in Game 1 2014. Lots more Series(2010,2011,2012,2013, 2015,2016) wins than Mitchy Witchy. That's a statistic which would dog Pearce.
