I'm a bit surprised no thread's been started on this.

Am I the only one noticing the lack of a great atmosphere so far in the game? Maybe the crowd will get a buzz if QLD hit the lead, or hit something.

Or maybe the rain's prevented any risk taking.

NSW (or it's media) were so sure of beating QLD has got me favouring the underdog tonight.

I got sent these photos from a guy in Queensland that has two pups from me - I now understand the significance. Was lost on me until this moment! I also don't think these two appreciate the underdog crack!

So if you want to beat em, ya gotta join em, and being manual makes the time even more credible.

How cuuuute....



That's it! Just what this game needed, a slater try. Another QLD try in this half would set the 2nd half up for a ripper.

Ray Warren needs a rocket up him: he doesn't sound interested.

QLD is a powerhouse. Don't mind the new blue Idris though, good to see him score a try on debut

Of the last 10 State of Origin series, how many has Queensland won?
By memory, they have been dominant.

QLD are enjoying a golden era at the moment and need to capitalise. only a NSW person could call that QLD side 'underdogs'!! there's some big names in the blues but about twice that in the maroons.

i think the score line was a bit flattering to NSW in the end.

Yeah I reckon the Blues did alright in the end, they played plenty ordinary again. They didn't get flogged in any case. Same stupid mistakes as always.

NSW need a 5/8th sooo bad... Brett Kimorley was the best man in a beaten side...

Move Gidley to the halves and play Hayne at fullback.

Mal SmellyFinger and Hagan thru JT and Locky carved up the out of postion Hayne.
Brett Morris and Isa didn't even see the ball on that side of the park.

As I see it there is two major problems with the Blues pack.
1. Team needs to be put together with the Blues in mind, not the Maroons.
2. They're from NSW!!!!!!!!

hahahahahha!!!! QUEENSLANDER!!!!!

I heard a radio interview with Bellamy this morning - he was asked if he was going to change his game plan for the next game. He said "no".

Suits me ...

That would depend on if you are asking the question from someone from NSW or not.....
