Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2436461, member: 1764"] Welcome to the forum. AP is QLD's equivalent of The Rock come Origin time. Completely over the top and irrational :P However, on this occasion he's correct. Queensland has started slow the last 2 games and it's been costly. We NEED to get out of the blocks quickly this time, assert some authority early. Even if it doesn't mean a lot of points, just being in control will be enough to put some doubt in the minds of NSW. If NSW get the early running it's crucial QLD repels them. I keep thinking back to the 2005 decider at Suncorp. Queensland absolutely dominated the first 10 minutes. Set after set on their line. Couldn't crack them. NSW led 2-0 after 20 minutes. They led 32-0 after 60. I think the weight of previous series losses by QLD vs the confidence of previous series by NSW was the difference. When QLD had all the early running and nothing to show for it, they cracked. The same could be the case this year. If NSW have all the early running, but QLD don't crack and in fact score first, then I think NSW may well crumble. [/QUOTE]
