State of Origin

who the flower are these cocksuckers? and why are they singing at the flowerING STATE OF ORIGIN

[Ringo]

Real tight game - Very strong tough and physical opening half with Qld leading 4 - 0 at halft time.  Only 2 penalty goals to Qld with no tries in first half.

You blues :)

Congratulations to the Blues - Well done. Did not think the game could get any better than game 1 but think this one surpassed it.

A couple of controversial decisions (depending on which side of the border you live on) but taking nothing away from the game.

Surely the ratings etc should convince the AFL to bring back State of Origin. 
Think this would draw a big crowd and perhaps fill the MCG.
Victoria v Combined South Australia and West Australia SOO.
Curtain Raiser:
Victoria 2nd Team v Combined Qld, NSW, Tas and NT SOO side.
Just a thought.
Could evem be played as a prelude to the season after the preseason and do away with split first round.

Horrible non decision by the video ref to not give the ball to Qld when Wood touched it before it went out after the kickoff. Massive blunder that cost Qld any chance of winning.

Having said that NSW handled the game better than QLD who dropped and fumbled way more than you often see them do.

[Ringo]

Really waiting to hear why Video referees denied Thaiday the try as well.  Just rewatched the game and as Hayne dislodged the ball from Thaidays grasp it should have been play on and Thaiday scores by falling on the ball.  Secondly there were 2 in the tackle so at worst should have been a Penalty to Qld for raking the ball.

in saying that though Qld made too many errors in the second half possibly as a result of being 2 rotations down with Scott and Tate both injured.

Overall pleased that NSW won for the state of the game.

There seems to be some discussion around that Qld may not be mentally right for game 3. Do not where that is coming from as Qld will be anxious to avoid a clean sweep of the series by NSW,

Tahiday didnt re gather that ball, no way no how, just fell on it...

that said surely u maroons arent going that route, ya had the best rub of the green for the longest time...
