Message: [QUOTE="CaptainHook, post: 2590687, member: 8315"] Even though we lost the series, 2003 is one series I vividly remember. Game 1 was at the new Suncorp Stadium - the surface copped a lot of criticism with sand being everywhere. Game 1 was an epic. The Blues won 25-12 from memory but the game was much closer than that with it being 12-all for a while. It was the game both Justin Hodges and Paul Bowman I think suffered season ending injuries. I thought the Maroons played well but the signs weren't good as Johns started to hit his stride and they beat us heavily, with him running rampart, in Game 2 to take the series. I remember Lockyer scored a good try for Queensland in Game 1 to lead and he pulled off an awesome tackle on Mick Devere by nailing him into touch. The final game proved once and for all that there is no such thing as a dead rubber. There have only been 2 clean sweeps since 2000 is testament to that. The side that has the series wrapped up struggles to maintain the intensity and the losing side is desperate to salvage something. Qld really piled on the points to win 36-6. For some reason, 2003 really stands out for me. Dunno why. [/QUOTE]
