Well done NSW

[Big Pete]

Congrats on winning game 1.

Completely out motivated a strong Queensland line up and deserved the win.

Bring on Game 2!

Pearce dominated Cronk

 

[user_nat]

Dominant performance by the NSW forwards. The difference in urgency was shown by the Smith double movement compared to the effort for NSW's two tries.

Pearce dominated Cronk

Pearce and Cronk were playing?

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

They got the only rub of the green that mattered, but NSW outplayed us for 60 minutes and in Sydney, that's all they need.

Inglis must start at number 1 in game two, but I can't see Slater bring dropped without some headlines popping up. Someone shave 400k off of JT's contract. He's in very sub par form at the moment. Cronk very flat footed as well. I can see Chery Evans getting a run this series.

14 points to 6. I guess QLD could have ended up with a worse result.

long way to go yet

The scoreline flatters the Maroons a bit IMO although I see it as NSW running out of petrol late in the game.

 

[gUt]

I dunno if the scoreline flattered anyone, seemed pretty right to me. Congrats NSW, clearly the better team for 65 minutes at least. It will be the making of them if they can do it again at Packer's Toilet.

Lol@IBM. I thought we were the sooks who always blamed the ref?

Thanks Pete. Happy with the result. Happy with the way we played. We need to cut out the errors in game 2 though. Bring on Suncorp.

That first 40 was the worst ive seen QLD in 7 years, they looked a bit old and a bit slow.NSW just looked bigger, stronger and meaner.

Nate Myles can eat a punch haha. Anyway looking to game two, im expecting qld to come out fired up.

I don't think it does, I think it was a very physical game with NSW having crisp attack but they didn't flog us.
Oh and I love that premature calls to drop slater or Thurston, two players that have carried Queensland over the years.

Anyway NSW were full of energy and enthusiasm, well done, looking forward to game two.

 

[Big Pete]

I thought NSW were well on top all game really.

They still seem fairly mentally weak, they started shitting themselves when the Maroons finally posted points but it was to no avail. Would have been interesting how they would have responded had Myles held onto the ball in the first half for an easy try.

 

[Pigskin]

NSW were by far the better side.

Given how the last 20 went, that non-sinbin was a massive decision.

Standard faire, enjoy it for now. Qld will smash the blues in game 2.

Oink !

 

[MSIH]

Should've won by more, but QLD are too good to get smashed. Mentally very strong, even when they're playing poorly.

The NSW forwards completely dominated their QLD counterparts.

Thanks Pete - it all starts from scratch again.

 

[Perth Red]

Poor quality game I thought. Only one decent attacking move by each team in the whole game. Were any half backs on the field for either side? All that hype for that? SOO is so over rated.

Ahh great, Debbie Downer's back again.

Do you enjoy anything about Rugby League?

Daley just forced Mal's hand now to change things up.

 

[aussie_q_factor]

NSW better team on the night - no dou
bt about it.

Qld were pedestrian for most of the game. NSW forwards completely dominated the Qld pack.. Hannant needs to come in ASAP.

NSW were the only ones playing origin football tonight. While they lack the skill & finesse of what this QLD team can potentially do they make up for it each year in enthusiasm and hunger to win & that was all they needed tonight.

QLD delivered nothing i couldn't see on a sunday afternoon from a team with no chance of making the 8. Mal & the staff have alot of work to do to get them ready for game 2.
