just too good when it counted ,no idea why they spred it wide on the 4th when they were set for the field goal ?

because pearce could not direct traffic. might have played a bit better but he cannot run a team - and gould made it obvious - when it counts. he should have had them in for the first field goal and then controlled for the second. may have gained a lot of ground with his kicks but they were all down slater's throat.

in 13 origins, he has come up with three try assists. a lead weight.

mind you, thurston attempting that goal was just as dumb and could have stuffed us.

I'm not a fan of Pearce but I wouldn't drop him based on last night. His kicking game was quite good, many right to Slater, though high and dropping short of the tryline, giving NSW time to creep up on him. That's a good result.

I would like to see Maloney back in and Pearce at halfback.

The Blues did have no direction and Pearce should put his hand up for that. Quite frankly we don't have many halves options.

Could have used Luke Lewis off the bench

QLD decision to go for goal was baffling. If they kicked for touch with a set of six coming, they looked very good for a try.

from an nsw aspect, you only lost by a single point, you had plenty of chances so the result could so easily have been different, and you have gallan, your captain and star player, plus morris, an international, coming back. the next game is at a neutral ground. there was the proverbial bee's wanger in the first one.

and yet the odds for game two?

qld $1.11

nsw $6.50.

i'd be inclined to put a few bucks on nsw if it wouldn't mean excommunication.

You won the game, so don't mess with my head mate, that's just cruel!!!

Game 2 in Melbourne is effectively a Qld home game and our lot won't beat yours on your turf

............ $6.50... oh God please help me resist
