I've not been following this thread so don't know if it's been mentioned,  but this has been the best reffed game in a while.

Kept nice and open, much better than the slow crapfests of recent times.  Made the game much better to watch

Except for a few pretty obvious and dodgy calls, like the Gagai try from the kick.

Time to ring in the changes NSW. Starting with the coach.

Frizell and Jack Bird had awesome debuts.

Congratulations QLD, you guys are incredible.

Two finger tips in it, one from Gagai not on the ball and one from Jennings on the ball.

Fuck sake. Well done again to QLD, your players are amazing. Set pieces so good.

And Walker got picked ahead of Jack Bird?

PALEASE.

From the day he was announced as coach ive been calling for a change haha

NSW will still keep him. They'll make 2 changes most likely dropping a couple of young guys for other young guys keep the old guys around like Bird Gallen Farah, win another dead rubber and therefor "stay loyal" for game 1 next year and lose again.

Call that a even up for the try cordner scored from a blatant forward pass in game one.

So, how long till Daley comes out and says he will stick with the same group for game 3 to give them a chance to redeem themselves and we win a dead rubber and everyone thinks Daley has got the formula right.

Half of the Qld dominance for the last decade or so has been from the crap NSW selection and coaching. JT/CP13/CS9 are good but not that good. The obsession with handing out jerseys based on bullshit rather than potential to win is killing the Blues.

Jennings, Ferguson, Farah and Walker should never see an origin jersey again

I like Moylan as a player but he just isn't strong enough of big enough body to be at the back for an origin game. Dugan could have made a huge difference for us in this game

That is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen posted. JT and Cam Smith are good but not that good? They're both future immortals of the game. NSW have made their selection mistakes sure but QLD have some of the best players ever to play the game. There is zero doubt that Cam Smith is the best hooked ever and you could compare JT to Johns.

Jennings lost us the game. Im speechless. 6 involvements that either gave or stopped tries in favour of qld. Amazing. He's done.

Well done Qld. Its phenomenal looking at it overall, got the wood on us and the patent.

Fuck sake.

Absolutely blown away by Frizell and Jbirds games. Plus Moylan looks fantastic.

Josh Jackson tackled his heart out. J Bird is a player of the future for sure he looked confident but the man that impressed me the most was Frizz. Absolute beast.

If Reynolds is injured, what of the odds of Pearce coming back in for game 3?

Pretty sure we'll see JBird and BJ as the centres for game 3. Poor Moylan got crap ball but will probably make way for Tedesco. Surely TTurbo gets a run over Fergusson

Jennings should never play in any Jersey with any kind of blue in it. He should look at the ground and never see the blue sky again. He's brought shame onto the colour blue. If he's feeling down he can't say he's feeling blue, he's lost that right. If he's choking on something he better not turn Blue because I'll strangle him harder.

Frizell and Bird exceptional, we must ring in the changes for game 3, and Id start with the coach.

My team for game 3 or game 1 next year.

1. Moylan (I like him, I think he is still raw but I'd be sticking with him)
2. Mansour (Yes, Gagai got three but only one was his fault, thought he did well, if he plays in the Qld side he gets two or three himself, tough to get ball outside Jennings)
3. Bird (great contribution, looked very comfortable, if not at centre then put him in the 6)
4. Walker (was much better this game obviously, I liked his effort, after the first Palm off I thought Inglis would score a double, but most of INglis' metres were made elsewhere on the park)
5. Tedesco (needs to be there somewhere, just get him in)
6. Maloney (did fine, he is no Thurston but think he showed he is up to this level)
7. Reynolds (they will and should stick with the halves, I don't think there we bad by any stretch, just not as good when measured against the Qld side)
8. Woods
9. Peats (Farah isn't gonna be there next year shurely, so blood Peats NOW!
10. Tamou
11. Frizell (won me over tonight, great game, should be there for a long time)
12. Cordner (game 1 next year)
13. Graham (a younger better player in almost every respect compared to Greg Bird)

14. Klemmer
15. Fifita
16. Cartwright
17. Peachey

Not bad Ice, just no tamou id say. He has lost all zest.
