Message: [QUOTE="Beachy, post: 2214524, member: 1859"] For a game they simply had to win, NSW were absolutely woeful tonight. One of the more inept performances you could ever wish to see. If not for Jarryd Hayne this series, NSW would have been dead-set lapped. He has been miles above any other player in a blue jersey. From the QLD side of things, it was one of the gutsiest wins I've seen. Injuries everywhere, illness through the camp, yet the defence still held rock solid. Some of the tackles were pealers -the 2 from Tonga on Williams in particular were Gillmeister-esque. I don't think we had a bad player tonight - they were all great. Darius Boyd's coolness under pressure in the last 10 minutes was crucial. Hannant was clearly best afield for me. Now a few other things: - Trent Barrett should have been sent off. Clenched fist, swinging arm ... no doubt it was deliberate. If the panel hearing the case tonight are serious, he should get at least 4 weeks - The 2 video ref decisions before half time were mind-blowing. Was a clear try to QLD that wasn't given, then Folau was clearly held back for Hayne's try (he was quite clearly held onto - there was no 'doubt'). Thankfully those decisions didn't affect the result and the better team on the night won the match - I hope NSW continue to pick Paul Gallen. He just keeps giving gifts away. Hilarious - Luke O'Donnell is a myth. Was proclaiming himself as the Blues hard man before the series, but when the going got tough, Lukey went missing. - Good to see Sammy T play well. No surprise to see it came when he had a role running out wide, Still can't see how he was MOTM though - In my opinion, Gus Gould is the only NSW coach to have ever 'understood' Origin and QLD - that's why he has such a great record. If I was on the NSWRL board, I'd be begging him to come back and coach them again Bring on Game 3 and what should be a great night of celebrations icon_thumbs_u [/QUOTE]
