Wow, Gidley single-handedly killed my NSW +7.5, thanks mate.  NSW can win at home, they smashed them up the middle in the 2nd half, just need to learn how to contain the spread of the ball and the Folau leap.  Sorry AB, but McManus did nothing but slip over every time he got the ball - i'd say they would do better with Monaghan.
 
Good win for Qld, but good game for the series - new game plan for NSW and some new refs should make game 2 a cracker.

clear no try.

I suspect mander thought no try, and bill was trying to fuck things up and wouldn't agree

Forgive McManus. His inside man was outplayed by a freak, and that left him on the backfoot for the game

O'donnell, Weyman, Kite, Lewis all out

Can't blame his inside man for falling over continually and producing nothing in attack.  I reckon they'd be silly to drop O'Donnell - there's a bloke that tackles like a dog all game and does the hard things right - but agree on Weyman and Lewis.

I'd go under 38/40 for that one.

Good to see that the Broncos are already down one star, watch another 1 or 2 drop off in the next 2 games - feels like i've lived this season before

you've got to be kidding - hoe can you say clear no try when the rules specifically state the benefit of the doubt must go the attacking side - sure, it looks like his down step would have touched the line but we don't know that.

Personally, I'm glad it didn't get awarded  as my 1-12 came in, but the rules are clear - it should have been a try. You just can't say that is 'a clear try' - I couldn't tell if he touched the line, and nor could you.

Agree on the under - the start to that match was somewhat (un)origin like

As a Qld supporter - I absolutely agree - TRY was the only correct decision, whack a "benefit of the doubt" on there and everybody is happy.  That one decision lost a massive amount of Victorian viewers as Qld proceeded to run away with it and the intensity was lost - well done Bill, your decision stunted the growth of league in that state by a further 12 months imo

Gun7, it wasn't just the start of the game - there were 22 points scored in the second half - I would tread carefully with the over/under

I take on your comments Nath - although I believe the game opened up a lot with Qld in the lead by 16, NSW had no option but to open the game up and lost interest in the bashing style that origin is renowned for

how do you know there was "benefit of the doubt"? There were 2 guys in the box. Maybe 1 thought it was a no try and the other wanted refs call?

good call mate, gidley made a school boy mistake standing over the side line when he touched the ball.

the inglis 2nd half try were he raced 60ms, mcmanus i thought had him covered but actually slowed down and ran back inside thinking gidley had him covered. big mistake. all over from there.

After Farah, Gidley was NSW best

Once again, Gidley was one of NSW best. He made a schoolboy mistake maybe. You can't blame Gidley for the 2nd Inglis try.

You absolutely have to give Hayne that try,there was no evidence saying his foot was on the line and the linesmen was right there and didn't call it,benefit of the doubt,it was a try


The attention seeking Bill Harragon at his brutal best there

one of NSW best? lol, you really need to take off your knights goggles. i didnt blame gidley for the inglis try, mcmanus made the mistake of slowing down and coming inside to try and prevent a pass when he cleary had inglis covered and should have made the tackle because there were bloody 4 blues players covering thurstan and slater off the ball.

xcrap,Gidely was very solid IMO,3 or 4 real nice runs,a few nice darts from dummy half


That mistake in the 72nd minute was pretty poor but overall he was solid
