Just about to come on! Can't wait!

Called my boss this morning, told him I'm [iworking[/i from home today!




James Blunt? Really?

No score updates for thos watching it later please!

On BET365 as well.

Get in.

Not wanting to undermine your authority round here but is the inc spoilers bit in the tread title not hint enough to people wanting to stay away from the score? #justsaying

You only tuned in when you heard James Blunt was on.!

How easy was that??

Beautiful....................it's true.




Petero and Scott gave them a great platform early doors that they didn't take full advantage of.

Well its finally come to life

Thought it was an outstanding game. Loved every minute of it. Played at a pace which is light years ahead of what we see every weekend.

Matthew Scott put in a superhuman effort today 1 of the best performances by a prop I can remember.

That wasn't there when I posted #yahboo

On the whole I think it was disappointing. It had drama at the end but lacked the intensity and quality of previous Origin games.

God knows how Cam Smith got MOM, I can only assume Matt Scott is banging the decision makers wife.

Cam smith was awesome as to was matt Scott but come on dude when do you ever see rugby played at that level in this country? As Phil Gould said it's beautiful.

I enjoyed the game, thought it was full of quality. Jennings had a top game and NSW finally showed some desire and hung in there. Hope NSW bring back Hayne for the next match, he could be the match winner.

Matt Scott was fantastic and I was also impressed with Neilsen, especially in defence.

Alwyas enjoy the tussles between Ennis and Cam Smith.

NSW have to get Idris in the 17 probably at the expense of Gasnier who was dreadful.

Would agree with that. Was IDris injured for game 1? Thought it odd that he didn't feature.

Idris was 18th man.

The first person who needs replacing is King.

I'd replace Gasnier (had a shocker by his standards), Duggan, and King.

I've said before that Duggan isn't SOO player yet . Hayne should never have been dropped.

The way Stewarts playing he could be in.

Hayne needs to play next round, could be the edge the blues need. Idris too, get him in there.

Can Thurston kick straight?! The bend on his kicks let him down in front of the sticks!

You're right about King.

NSW need to get Idris in somewhere, I agree, just don't see where. Gasnier is class and has been all season, 1 Origin game doesn't change that. NSW's big problem is knee jerk reactions to defeats, especially in the last few years, they chop and change far too quickly.

If Ricky Stuart is going to insist on Pearce having the majority of the kicking duties then what's the point in Soward playing? Maybe Hayne to come in at 6?

Thought Duggan played well....looks a promising player and id love to have Pearce....what a outstanding talent he is

Not sure if this links aloud but heres the tries:
