There is no Johns (retired), no Fittler (retired), no Minichello, no Gower, Buderus unlikely to start, Tahu under fitness concerns... Selectors went for their fourth ranked halfback...Not looking good for NSW!
All those setbacks and we still won, despite having the worst set of halves imaginable.
I am sensible
Yep Tim, watched in another room but the result was the sameEasy Tiger said:
As I said previously, they could have played Willy Mason at halfback but instead put in a "dodgy" replacement in Finch and turned up with an injury riddled heap of crocks and still won just shows where commitment and talent lie
Imagine what the result of game 2 will be if they pick fit players and their 3rd ranked halfback next time!! Don't think Lang Park will be a sell out though I hope it is. We need water up here and all the tears from crying, weepy eyed cane toads might help green the place up a bit. Feral

Lang Park is always a sellout because up here we like to support our teams!
I have to say that the inexperience showed in the Queensland lineup, their defense was not up to scratch in the first half, nor was their ability to anticipate the opposition. This comes with experience, and I think that with the close result last night, and the fantastic fightback and spirit showed by Queensland, that's a dangerous sign for any NSW team.
Once Queensland learn that the only way to beat the Blues is to get them running and throw the ball around, bringing the centres and wingers into play, then they will be a force. For the last 5 years QLD have tried the same plan of playing from the ruck, going up the middle, offloading, its doesn't work against a forward pack like NSW has. Throw the ball around, and you'll quickly expose them, as they finally showed in the second half, when they outscored the Blues 16-3.
As for the field goal.. well.. where was the line runner from the Maroons.. not good anticipation at all. Noone even made an attempt at a charge down, and there was time to make that attempt if they had been ready, as they should have been with two minutes to go.
NSW certainly isn't out of the woods yet, I'm still tipping a QLD series win

Haha Cam now whats that got to do with State of Origin. I assure you the races were much more fun than the bowl breakup. The recovery period afterwards, however, was not.

Finch and Anasta would have to be the most inept NSW half combination i have ever seen and ive been watching origin since 1981. You can clearly see why the rooters wont make the 8 for the second season in a row.
Pathetic and they werent helped out from a forward pack who underachieved.
