Just like that pass Hodgson and Hayne passed?
But of course that never gets mentioned.
Hayne's pass didn't directly blow the game for NSW. That match was won for QLD the moment they stormed out of the sheds for the second half.
It did surprise me though, that Hodgson was not roasted more for that foolish pass that Lockyer picked up. Most of the media were more concerned with Graham West's poor effort in Game 3.
That being said, even Hodgson's pass in SOO 3 '06 could not surpass Kimmorley's effort in Game 1 '05 for stupidity. But I personally think it's a hoodoo surrounding the name "Brett".
1. Brett Kimmorley throws a pass in the dying moments of Game 1 '05 that was never going to find a blue jersey.
2. Brett Finch does his best "Keystone Cops" impression with a halfback display in Game 2 '06 that could be described at best as shambolic.
3. Brett Hodgson grasses the ball attempting a cut out pass to get NSW out of their own 20 in Game 3 '06 and Darren Lockyer swoops on it to score under the posts.
4. Brett White is rattled by a groin-grabbingly hard first tackle from Dallas Johsnon and doubles over into Tonie Carroll's forearm breaking his nose and causing uncontrollable bleeding. He was there for some of the match after, but never really "there".
