Queeeeeeeeennnnnnssssssslllllaaaaannnnnnddddddddddddeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

 

that is all.

[ellicat]

Ditto.

OH YEAH !! How good is an unexpected win.

[Drop Bear]

I so didn't expect that. They looked asleep in the first half. NSW looked asleep for the second then came good in the last 5 mins.

Absolute ripper! Obviously there team looked better on paper but I think that played into our hands. You had Gallen already thinking they had won the series 3-0 and Joey couldn’t see how they could lose. Don’t they remember 1995? They hadn’t taken note of Wayne and Mal’s coaching records? 
As Gus said in the second half they just didn’t look comfortable being made to work hard and just wanted to get their next six again and go through their set plays. Typifies that their attitude was ‘us by how many’. 

Origins are win up front and we were only missing Fafita (wish we had him). Not sure how Cordner was allowed back on but hope they keep picking him .... and Keary ....

Bring on game 2 then I am off to the Brisbane game, hopefully to see a whitewash. Just like 1995 ...... QUEENSLANDER!!!!!!!!!!  

[Old Scaley]

Never in doubt......

[AUS-BNE-FISHO]

Who else was on the edge of their seat in the last couple minutes or so? Lucky our defence held up...

Cheers Hamish

Just read that Brimson won't play again due to a foot injury suffered late in the game. Will be interesting to see what changes that will bring.

[kmcrosby78]

Yes I can’t recall if we have another fullback. Otherwise probably Val Holmes or maybe even Gagai (whatever he touches in Origin turns gold ..... ).

[kmcrosby78]

Also heard Capewell should be fine for Game 2.

[benno573]

Val Holmes to fullback. Look forward to him combining with gagai again.

looks like we will hear more about this.

3-0 sounds about right.

He has ruled himself out for the rest of the series. And yes, NSWRL has been given a 'please explain' notice ......

Can't believe they are $3.25 outsiders for Game Two. Blues have stuck with their same centre pairing, lost Cordner and Cam Murrary and still not found room for Papenhuyzen ....... phew .

$3.25? What were they for the first game?

I think they started about that and drifted to about $3.60. Blues started about $1.30 .........

They should have started at 12 noon to have any chance

Thanks very much Paul Gallen for your motivational speech (calling us the worst Origin team ever .........), we really appreciate the extra little bit of inspiration!!!!    And just like that, another (shortlived) Blues Dynasty is OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

QUEENSLANDERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12 wins from the last 15 series. They can never take that away.

Yes I did exactly that maths straight after the game last night - incredible run!!!!  And yet the Blues would consider 2018 & 2019 as another of their 'dynasties' .......  

[Old Scaley]

That was a true origin game. Fantastic game and a brilliant result (if you are Maroons supporter). Problem is that since Gallen retired, I haven’t found another Blue to detest yet? Any suggestions? I hate all the hype about Tedesco but don’t mind him as a player. Crichton could be a contender. 

[ellicat]

Nathan Brown.

[Angry51]

Yeah, If that's the worst team I'd reckon the best team

must have been a ripper.

Anyone in their right mind wouldn't take any notice

of Gallen would they?

He's a brother to baked bean, has been.
