How insulting is it to give game three to melbourne when its our game. They donot give a shite about the nrl as the replay last night down there didnot go to air until 11pm. What a joke.
Bring our game back here and bring back the BIFF

[maztez]

Couldnt agree more with you Gawby ..bring it back to QLD and bring back the BIFF ;D ;D
cheers Terry

[charleville]

I have attended an origin game at the MCG. They are a polite interested audience but the fact remains that they are puzzled by the game so it loses atmosphere.

Also, the MCG is such a large field compared with Lang Park that the audience is such a long way away from the action and once again the atmosphere is lost, dispite that they will get 100,000 people there to see it.

I too think that it diminishes the spectacle by holding it in Melbourne.

[gawby]

Ive been to the MCG to watch a cricket game and lost interest as you say charleville as the players were so far away. Took more interest in the stirrers in bay 13. ;D ;D ;D

how many times did omeily get picked up and dumped!!!! GO QLD!!!!

[shayned]

Almost forgot, no biff on the field but in the stands there was a cracker. Picture this, a NSW supporter in the stands carrying on like a pork chop and continually waving his flag in this womans face. She tells him to cease and desist. Flag waving bloke from south of the border ignores her and keeps going, only a woman right?
Wrong, Queenslander, she took the flag off him and gave him a right towelling with it. Damn shame she missed the rest of the game but she gets my vote for the Reg Reagan award last night. ;) ;)

the game in melbourne is not at the MCG but at the Telstra Dome and would be close to a sell out

I don't think the games at the MCG it think its at the Smaller covered ground ( Not sure what company its named after now)

[maverick1]

What a turn around from game 1 the might Maroons spirit is back !! bring on game three !!!

[dan88]

QUEENSLANDER!!!!!
Yesterday was my 18th and i partied hard at the game and partied hard til the early hours of this morning. What a night! Its NSW fault for calling them soft thats what you get.
We had NSW supporters leaving with 20 minutes to go. It was awesome!

And by the way haha this is a weird way of looking at it but by having it at Melbourne we have a better chance of winning because if it wasnt there it would be in Sydney. GO QUEENSLAND ;)

[Argle]

Proud to be a Queenslander 8-) What a performance!! Its been a long time since I have seen a QLD defensive line move up on the attack like they were last night, got right up in there faces and hit em hard! Beats standing back and watching and waiting for them to do something with the ball. My old footy coach used to say "they cant score when theyre flat on their backs!!" My man of the match award goes to the entire QLD forward pack, a fantastic performance BRING ON GAME 3 and a series win to QLD.

What a game, what a bunch of blokes. True Queenslander.

Hey, did anyone notice about 15 minutes into the second half, The Mouth"Gus" could see Qld were just simply going to pants the Cockroaches. Gus started going on over the commentary about how Graham Murray should get Danny Badearis ( not sure of spelling) out on the park. He dribbled on about a couple of players, Gazneir and a couple of others, being good players but not being real good thinkers. That the NSW side really needed someone out there desperately to show some direction and do a bit of thinking. What happened, 2 minutes later, Danny was running on. The same thing happened to a couple of Gus's other comments as well. Interesting. Me thinks that "Gus" is supplying his two cents worth to the NSW coach via the TV commentary. If so, it is a dirty tactic, below the spirit of the game, definately, ChannelNine should clean it up. Gus, if you want to have some dictate on the play, go back to coaching, if you want to commentate, do so, but don't insult viewers by veiling your ideas to the NSW coach via the TV set sitting beside Graham Murray as general commentary on the game.
But to be fair, Gus certainly praised the Qld boys for their effort, which they certainly deserved.
QUEENSLANDER

[Jackinthebox]

I was not really looking forward to last night's game, but from the first tackle when the maroons came screaming up the field and started pounding those big fat blues players before they could get going, I thought "hold the phone, this is gonna be good!"

It's amazing to see the difference in our playing style under Big Mal's coaching, we are playing like the Qld of old! Running forward with a purpose while angling across field keeping them guessing, very quick passing, cut out passes, wraparounds, getting up quickly & tackling them before they can get any momentum and my favourite - plenty of SUPPORTING RUNNERS[/b] going with the guy who makes a break.

All basic stuff, but we seemed to have forgotten that in the last few years, until last night!

Imagine if we got to the fifth tackle more often and then put the bomb up right over the try line like NSW always do on their 5th?
(instead of those silly little grubber kicks)

That score could so easily have been 50 - nil !

Go you good things!

[b]QUEENSLANDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [smiley=laugh.gif] [smiley=laugh.gif]

[bo_sawyer]

itll be interesting to see what changes they make in regards to inglis. he deserves a jersey but who on earth would u take out??? its great to see that every player stood up, the only thing you could criticise is a couple of drop balls by dummy half and failing to kick on 5th tackle. they made very few errors compared to the blues. GO QLD!!!

[yibbiy]

QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNSSSSSSLLANNNNNDDDD DDDDD!!!!!!!!

at least we only lost the first game by 1 pt. . . . . .not 34 pts. . . .yikes

I agree with you there Gummtree however it went both ways. Do you recall Gus talking about the Caltex Vortex Tackle Tracker and how in game 1 Qld played a very confined game. He said they needed to play a more expansive game and that is exactly what happened. Thanks for the tip Gus now SHUDUPP!! ;D

p.s for a laugh, try saying Caltex Vortex Tackle Tracker after a few jd's!! #

[tiges]

Goes to show you how important the forward battle is. Get on top of the other pack and suddenly your playmakers have time to create, and get good kicks in for field position. The confidence flow on effect seeps into every other part of the game, free flowing attack, up and at 'em defence etc. Both games have been excactly the same really, with one forward pack comprehensively dominating the other. The difference here lies in the halves. Anasta and Finch are very one dimensional, and possess very little other than a decent kicking game. They were made to look a lot better than they are in game 1 by the NSW forward performance. Lockyer and Thurston however showed their real ability when their pack done the job last night. Outstanding kicking/passing/running games. The sets of halves are the reason one team won by 1 point and the other won by 24.

So where do NSW go?.... as a blues supporter this is my main concern. Sure get rid of Finch/Anasta, but replace them with who? Kimmorley has had his chance and failed over and over, Gower isn't fit and is also lacking in imagination, Orford is untested at this level. 5/8 wise there is virtually no-one else, Scott Hill has gone alright before, but is prone to having absolute shockers. Johns and Barrett would be the answer, but both are adamant they won't play, and Barrett is suspended anyway.

Regardless, it's great that the series is going to a decider. Apart from the halves, I think both sides are evenly matched in the forwards and backs. There is 3 likely scenarios in the 3rd game, and QLD would win 2 out of the 3. NSW forwards dominate - NSW win; QLD forwards dominate - Qld win; Forward packs negate each other - QLD win on the strength of Thurston and Lockyer.

So I'm looking forward to the decider, but I gotta say it's looking good for you Queenslanders.

[fish_head]

Its all rigged Had to let Queensland win to keep the series alive. If NSW had of one again every one would have lost interest. To much money involved, NSW were told to lay down

[tunaman]

We are not greedy, <NSW>. have to let you win one.

GO THE BLUES!






signed tunaman ;D

[dan88]

fish head you have no idea. How the hell can you say that. There is something wrong with you for even thinking that. So those tears that braith anasta had in the dressing rooms, is that because he didnt do a good enough job at losing the game??
You say to much on the line so they had to lay it down. MY ASS! Imagine how much more is on the line if someone finds out they were told to lose!! that is 10 times worse for the game.

The only way i will apologize is if someone proves it. Why would you say something like that? People like you are worse for the game than qld losing an origin match.

[dan88]

Oh, and by the way, if NSW are soooo good that they need to drop a game, then why is it, that when playing nearly at the peak, that they only beat Qld by one point.

Laid the game down....i think not

[tunaman]

Queensisland were just too good on the night!

All bad loser say stupid things to cover up a hiding. Winning a clean sweep means more than just winning the series. But if what you say is true they did a real good job of laying on there a**es ;D ;D

[bo_sawyer]

We won because our forwards kicked ar** this time, which helped the backs move.

so if money and rateings are involved then they would of had to have offered a good deal to omeily and the other forwards... BECAUSE THEY GOT HAMMERED... you think if the game was rigged that the NSW would of takeing that flogging? let themselves get picked up slammed into the ground?

[fish_head]

wish the fish were biting as good as you queenslanders this weekend. I was only joking when i said the game was rigged

you should probably make it more obvious that your joking if you are going to say something like that. ::)

Awesome, great to be a Queenslander but gees it would be good if they could keep it clean referee wise.

I'm a blues supporter and I went to bed ten minutes after half time.
The game was a bloody disgrace!
Between the incompetent referee(s) and the condition of the field I was disgusted. Neither side got to play their best game. OK, you might say that they both had the same conditions, but wouldn't it have been better for them to be able to side step or kick without going arse up.
Qld was obviously the better side on the night to have overcome the poor decisions they were handed.

cheers,

Edward was at school this morning and the teacher asked all the

children what there fathers did for a living. All the typical answers

came out, Fireman, Policeman, Salesman,Chippy,Captain of Industry etc,

but Edward was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked

him about his father.

"My father is an exotic dancer in a gay club and

takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes if the offer

is really good, he'll go out with a man, rent a cheap hotel room and let

them sleep with him."

The teacher quickly set the other children some

work and took little Edward aside to ask him if that was really true.



"No" said Edward, "He plays football for NSWStateof Origin side, but I

was just too embarrassed to say."

[Lucky_Phill]

Dare I say that the " Mythical " Queensland spirit has been revived.

The Spirit was always there , but needed a push to bring it to the fore. That push was provided by an inept decision by firstly, the ref and secondly, by the video ref.

Further push was gained through an extrodinary effort by a young gun and an old head. Personally I thought Brent Tate was Man-of-the-series, but certainly Locky stepped up a notch when required. Thurston has shown he will be around in S.O.O for a long time.

The young forwards.......what can I say. David and Goliath stuff, hey ?

I have no beef with the players from south of the border, BUT, when will the Blue selectors get it through their collective heads, that you do NOT pick players out of their position.

I was at the local Tavern for the game. The crowd was pretty well divided in respect to the teams. I did notice and I am loath to report this, that at least 4 people ( Qld supporters ) left mid way through the second half. Shaking thier heads as they left. To ones credit, he returned. But, I never thought I would see the day a Maroon supporter would throw in the towel. Just as well the Players that wear the Maroon Jersey, NEVER say die ! hey ?

To Big Mal ( " chicken george " to his friends ).... absolute genius !
To his staff including the AXE...........well done !!!!

And to the clowns that hung Blue flags all over our building site on Wednesday arvo :P :P :P

have to add that this year they deserved to win, they were the better side, but for christs sake stop whingeing about how the whole world is against you, it's old news,you pack of girls... :-*

The way you queenslanders are carrying on you would think you had won three straigt series in a row. Guess you havnt had much to crow about for the last few years Enjoy it while you can because NSW will be back next year.

[PinHead]

ahhhh...the cockie supporters...not many have said .."well done Qld, you were better in this series"..just carry on about the past...am just wondering who the sore losers are.

[whykickacatalong]

"Well done Qld, you were better in this series"

There ya go ;D

Enjoy the next year, talk it up while you can. Just remember the passion in 10mths time so we can do this all again. ;)

The fact is the majority of calls went against Queensland and we still won. Bunch of sore losers they were. Danny Buderus who i am a huge fan of could not stop shaking his head! What Queenslander has ever done that in the way that he did. Even gus gould came off better than they did.

All i can say is QUUEENSLAAANDDERRRRRR!

[dan88]

To add to the discussion, why did Danny Buderus not get up and thank the queenslanders for the game etc and lose gracefully, which is what Darren Lockyer has bin doing for 3 years, instead, he sulked about it.

Because he's a blue and like the rest of them and most of their supporters (not all) they dont respect Queensland.

As for the past 3 years ANCIENT HISTORY give credit where its due - do you here about any queenslanders going on about the 80's.

Just goes to show that passion over rides names on paper - NSW has allmost got the australian side and we still one without hunt, hodges, ingliss, slater, bell.

Get over yourselves and the past.

Despite the best efforts of the NRL board, refs and other officials, the Mighty Maroons won convincingly on Wednesday night. Now all we've got to do is convince the NRL board that there is no SW in NRL, and that the League heartland also extends north of the Tweed border.

Now they are threatening to take major games off Queensland and hold them in Victoria. The morons will never understand that league will never be popular in Victoria with their overwhelming AFL tradition.

I'm blues supporter, and I have no problem with giving full credit to the QLD'ers. The reason that Buderus was shaking his head and big Willie was lost for words at the end of the game was because they had thumped the QLD forwards in both attack and defence but still managed to lose the game. They thought that the QLD forwards would eventually lay down, but they just kept on coming back for more. Led by Petro and Pricey they toughed it out. And when NSW relaxed, the class of Lockyer and Thurston shone thru, and suddenly the game was over. And how about Lockyer!!! NSW ran as many plays as possible straight at him trying to wear him down and dull his effect on the game in attack, but he relished being involved in everything. There can be no doubt that his best position is 5/8th, he has no problem playing as a defender in the first line of defence.

I've now lived in QLD for some 12/13yrs, and any origin losses for NSW have always stung bad. But I think this year I have finally got to understand the QLD mentality. Don't get me wrong, we blues supporters are as passionate about our team, as you are of yours. It's in the players where the difference lies. The NSW players have tried to create a team spirit over the years, and in many ways they have succeeded. But it seems very insular within the team that the bond exists, they seem to shut themselves off to the outside world. The QLD'ers seem more driven to do it for the average man in the street, and the state as a whole. The Blues want to do it for themselves and each other. The penny dropped during Lockyer's acceptance speech when he said that the shield was for the fans. Cheesy I know, but I could only imagine Buderus' response in the same position being all about the team, and how they earned it or whatever.

All that said, I will remain a staunch blues supporter. After all it is about state of origin. And for christ's sake stop whinging about the Hodgson knock on thing. I clearly remember a virtually identical incident in last years series or the one before, when Slater made a play at the ball and it spilled forward off his chest/knee and you guy's had a try awarded. Kept ya lip's tight then didn't ya's? Either way, both cases were a loss of control i.e. knock-on. Ya's are a one eyed bunch of mongrels, but then that's the QLD mentality is'nt it!? ;D ;D ;D

Sorry about the late post guys but I've been off air.
I'm a blues supporter even after 15yrs up here because as I see it as State Of ORIGIN.
I watched the last game in total dismay as the referee called those sus decisions and couldn't believe the video ref!!
When NSW was 2 points ahead at the end I was truly calling for a QLD try as I felt guilty about those decisions.
I don't think QLD or NSW played that well and as far as the total game is concerned (apart from the bullsh!t decisions) I feel that if NSW won it would have been deserved.
You'd think that NSW would be aware of the comeback strength of QLD and in the last moments would be more aware of that QLD pride that has cost us plenty in the past.
Anyway I'm not pissn in ya pockets but I'm glad after the crap reffing that you guys came out on top.
I don't think I could have lived with the whole of QLD whinging for another ten years. BILLY
