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:

=#FF0000No it's not - sorry. Chris

He did well but Hayne is top notch. Hayne could play 6 but I can't see them changing Pearce and Soward.

There's something a miss with Hayne, Phil Gould said on the Sunday Roast that he's not very good to have around.

Maybe Stuarts got the same vibe?

The impression I get when watching Parra is that other players can't stand him so that may be a contributing factor.

Absolute cracker , The best I've seen NSW play in years . Paul Gallen was immense today My motm by a mile.

It was NSW at their best and Queensland were way off their game, no chance are NSW going to Suncorp and winning in Lockyers last ever Origin.

Gallen was sensational as were Pearce, Uate and Mannah.

Aye , NSW are going to have to do it tough to get anything in Brisbane .

hands up who said minichello is past it? ... thought he rolled back the years today

He did play well, still wouldn't want him on a three year deal though.

Gallen was sensational as were Pearce, Uate and Mannah.

Thought all the NSW pack played out of there skins, was really good 2 watch some quality RL, were light years behind the NRL..!

I would love 2 see the Yorkshire / Lanchshire game brought back..! Don't know were or when we'd fit it in tho..!

Gasnier doing nothing again, get big Jamahl in there Ricky.
Thought Soward's territorial kicking was excellent. Queensland definitely had an off night.
No better place to break the streak than at Suncorp!

Soward had a better second half his first half kicking game was below par as he kept finding a Brisbane player on the full.

Woohoo!

Really good game, thought Gallen was huge and Uate, Lewis Watmough and the halves went well too. Gidley and Ennis interchanging really worked. NSW got in the faces of Queensland that is why they were off their game.

Roll on the decider.
