Origin: 0-1 (-5)

Not good in the 1st installment.

Queensland at New South Wales

The play...

Queensland +3.5 (5 units)

Toads have the heart of a champion and will put up a hell of a fight tonight. Also think the Morris twins are a big loss for NSW, especially on defense. Have to take the points even though this is the Blues best shot at some redemption.

I think this game will be one of the best all time pal and just can not wait.

Both teams almost know the series is on the line tonight. NSW win and they win, QLD win and they know they all but have 9 years in a row People think game 1 was hard core, this game will rattle the bones of the crowd and fans watching at home.

I do believe that there will be more points tonight.

Thaiday a big in for the Maroons as well. He is their pack leader, no doubt about it.

Bird in pushing Gallen to prop makes the NSW pack look heaps better imo.

Third Man Thaiday is a good in tho

Yeah mate, should be awesome. Just can't discount QLD with their backs to the wall, too much class in that side to go down like chumps. Hayne made the Dogs halves combo look good in Game 1, think we may see a reality check for the two grubs.

NSW halves were / are average. Hayne carries this team in attack, but he is the best player in the game atm

No doubt about it AB, would say the somewhat unlikeable DCE is the 2nd best player in the game right now. Dude with the chance to start building a bigger legacy.

How fit are Inglis, DCE and Slater. If anything less than 100%, they will be caught out in origin.

I don't find the long-necked kid unlikeable

and they haven't played any footy, DCE hasn't trained all week etc. I have utmost respect for this side but the years have caught up with them. None of Melbourne's big 3 have looked as sharp this year. Changing of the guard me thinks

always the underdogs the poor 'benders, even if my 7 year old hasn't lived to see a NSW win.

The silence from Smith and Thurston has also been frightening.

Hopefully it means they're gonna do their talking on the field. Not a fan of the big mouth approach.

Sorry mate, I meant my second line literally. The fact that they've said nothing concerns me. Thurston and Smith have been brewing something for three weeks. NSW need to start well or it'll be 9-0

Not so sure about Dugan marking Inglis in the centres.

So much was about Dugan doing well against a NSW cup sharks team a few weeks ago.

Hayne (with the strip on Thaiday over the line) and the refs saved NSW.

Post-match was like a 'rainbow parade' with all the Blues man-love.

Won the bet but that was terrible.

i thought that game was bloody awsome. Both teams new what was coming and maned up big time. huge D and turned up for eachother.

Thats the type of footy you want out of Origin. Smash mouth down your mouth, here it comes try stop me. 

Refs played the game like years gone by, 10 meters was more like 7 or 8 for both teams and slow play the ball. Couple calls went either way and was a tough game. Emkee please you can not tell me you thought one team get the raw end of the deal can you?
