Message: [QUOTE="Broncoman, post: 2841689, member: 7803"] Haven't posted my full thoughts on the game yet That performance from NSW was one of the best I've ever seen from them, and I saw Joey dominate in 2005 and the 3 straight wins. They played to their potential rolling through the QLD forwards and giving Tedesco, Hayne and Maloney opportunities to capitalize and they took full advantage of what was given to them. I was confident that NSW could win but I most certainly didn't expect them to win by 24. I didn't understand some of those selections the Maroons made and I was right about them. I'm expecting the Maroons to ditch loyalty for Game 2 and they will come out stronger as a result. Thought the best NSW players were Tedesco and Fifita. Tedesco is a super fullback and I knew Origin would bring out the best in him (Lockyer would be delivering squat in that Tigers team). Not only was he a danger at the back playing a role in 1 try and scoring another he was as safe as Fort Knox at the back cleaning up the loose balls, taking the bombs and coming up with try savers, loved his tackle on Gillett. Say what you what about Fifita there is no denying how great he is when he is on. Totally destroyed the QLD forwards with his Beetson like ball skills and charging runs, defended well as well. Deserved to win MOM For the Maroons I didn't think there were many who could hold their heads high but Gagai made some strong runs and was hard to handle and Oates handled himself well and was awarded with a try. Napa justified himself on debut as well as Milford and they will get more chances. Conclusion: A wonderful night for the Blues as they go 1 up in the series a totally dominant victory and I felt the score was a reflection on their performance. I expect the Maroons to hit back harder in Sydney but I feel that Queensland will need a mighty effort to keep the series alive as NSW will go into Game 2 with maximum confidence and belief and will be as motivated as ever to win the series in front of a NSW crowd.
