So you wouldnt be laughing if it was a call against hull then...was a bloody knock on and it went forward....the commentators even said it wasnt a try.

How is Ben Creagh still playing State of Origin he has got to be the softest forward around

Think the decision to go for goal was the game changer.

Best team lost imo

How many time did they kick to Brent Tate? Never looked like dropping a ball. Solid as a rock.

He had a good game , Creagh spent most of the game trying to rattle him .

Farrah clearly kicked the ball out of Inglis hands if he didn't do that it would have been a try.

No idea why NSW persist with Pearce at 7 ahead of Peter Wallace

NSW have definitely got something to work with for the next game.

Thought Pearce had a good game tbh, Carney on the other hand...

Stuart got a few things wrong, the use of his bench was mind boggling.

Williams reminded me of how Manu plays for us, if he ran his wait into the collision rather than taking the ball standing he'd be much more effective.

Qld played like a side who know each other, especially in defence.

Just got home from game and the fair conclusion for me was that the wife said ' I've seen better games in England'

No real atmosphere at all and when that last 'non try' was given a load of NSW fans left next to me , leaving 2 large sausage rolls in wrappers and 3 pints of fresh lager . I am well ed and full

I don't remember writing I was vexed , i wrote I was as pi***d as a newt and still am, however it is 11.40pm and our wedding anniversary. We will replay that night and both fall asleep.kind of.

Because Pearce is a lot better?

If he's purposefully kicked the ball out of Inglis' hands as you suggest, why no penalty try? It was a rank decision and there would be uproar about it if it had happened in one of our games.

so will you be getting the black mambo out

No chance is Pearce 'a lot better'.

Don't rate Wallace, never have, never will.

What a game.

Thought Gallen and Tamou were outstanding, however the Blues right edge defense,needs tidying up,
Uate was left isolated,twice for the Boyd tries.

Ref got a few calls wrong -IMO, the Bird tackle on Cronk, & I dont feel Farah played at the ball leading to the Inglis try.

Team selection, dont rate Pearce,maybe bring in Soward?

Cant wait for Origin 2.

Sowards not a 7, Pearce had a good game his defence was very good.

Carney had a shocker, but I can't see Stuart changing much, maybe Buhrer.

Stuart has now conceded that it was a try by Inglis so why did the commentary team get it so wrong? Agree about there being minimum changes to the NSW squad for Game 2 which I will attend as a QLD supporter!

Do you believe him? Or do you think he's trying to get the refs on his die for the next two games?

The press conference i saw he refused to answer any questions on the refs.

Could be mind games now that the dust has settled. Harrigan the Ref's boss has given a concise explanation as to why a try should have been awarded but at the same time has criticised the on-field refs for a couple of "poor" decisions leading to the possibility that the refs could be changed in Game 2. For what it is worth I would have awarded a try and further predict that on last nights form NSW will win in Sydney.

I must admit I didn't think it was a try and I don't think it would of been given if it was a SL game. In SL we tend to look for reasons not to award a try unlike Aus were they look for reasons to give it.

Even if Nsw win the 2nd game they won't win the 3rd.

The nrl commission has to do something about taking games out of state.

Cracking game and I thought NSW were the better side, awful decision for the Inglis try and even harrigan said they VR got it wrong. Queensland got most of the 50/50 calls tbh.

Jennings & Hayne were great and Gallen is a machine. Tamau was impressive but the most disappointing players were the the halves, never ran the ball enough. I'd stick with them though, pointless continually changing the pivots. Farrah had a good game too but not sure on Merrin, Creagh and Burher.

Inglis, Thurston and Scott were good and Tate dragged a great performance out of the bag.

I hope NSW change the bench but leave the pivots alone, continuity is the way forward.

Carney was just to nervous imo, to drop Watmough for Creagh and Burher was madness.

Loved the Inglis/Morris battle.

Got to stick with him though, he'll get better. Watmough should have been in.
