Message: [QUOTE="CaptainHook, post: 2553470, member: 8315"] I agree, Big Pete. It's easy to focus on that one pass but it doesn't do the game justice. QLD had to overcome a 10 point deficit with a few minutes remaining. They showed a level of commitment, desire and intensity I'd never seen before to get the win and bring the shield home. It's what NSW don't understand. They keep telling themselves that falling short by a point or two over the last two years means that they're getting close, aren't far away, any day now etc. It's all BS and it overlooks a few crucial things in the last few deciders. The main one being that after seven straight series wins QLD still showed more desperation than the Blues to get the win. It was a player with a Maroons jersey turning up making the tackle, diving on a lose ball, etc. It's a credit to Mal and the players that they have avoided complacency and still have the desire to win. When the Blues have the ability to win a series by coming from two tries down with 10 to go then they might be a chance. . . but here's hoping they keep banging on about referees and whining about having two games in Sydney.
