STATE OF ORIGIN!

On behalf of South Australia I'd just like to note that Queensland is vastly superior to NSW.

Oh please, the Cane Toads had the refs helping them.

The whole thing is an utter load.

Anyone who can not acknowledge that Queensland is superior to NSW in the game of Rugby League needs merely to check the current overall standings in State of Origin, check the winner of the last 6 series and recognize that even if you didn't like the last try decision Queensland still would have won... again.

NSW did make a decent showing this time, I thought their forwards dominated the hit-ups and with all the field position they generated the NSW backs let the side down badly with poor decisions and poor execution. Carney was playing for Queensland most of the night, he needs to get it together for game 2 and it will be almost certainly another high quality affair. The game was a lot closer than the scoreboard at the end.

Go the Mighty Maroons.

The game was definitly there for the winning for NSW but as with previous years they seamed to just lack that % extra needed to swing the win. Cant wait for game II now!!!

As for that "IT WASN'T A TRY" BS from NSW;

Robbie Farah had played at the ball with his foot when Inglis lost possession, and the ball's contact with Inglis' forearm was a rebound and didn't constitute a knock-on.

O/ QLD

I actually watched this with little knowledge ahead of time. Looking forward to game 2.

Game II is on next Wednesday 13th ... got this funny feeling us Queenslanders are about to walk into an ambush down there in New South Wales.

STATE OF ORIGIN II TONIGHT!!!!!

GO THE MIGHTY MAROOONS!!!!!!!

Poor Wally.
GO THE BLUES!!!!!!!!

DING! DING! Round 2 restarts tonight!
