Message: [QUOTE="CaptainHook, post: 2590937, member: 8315"] Game 1 of 1998 deserves a mention in this thread. It was an epic in every sense of the word. A real see-sawing game, where the lead kept changing. QLD drew first blood then the Blues got a handy lead. The Maroons fought back in the second half then NSW seemingly had the game in the bag until big TC scored with a few seconds to go. A Lockyer conversion meant the Maroons snatched the victory from certain defeat. A few interesting things to note from the game: NSW scored 5 tries to 4 but were beaten. Goal kicking was a factor with Johns having an unhappy night with the boot and Lockyer landing all four of his goal kicks. Walters and Langer were outstanding for Queensland. They both scored tries that night. Three of our four tries were from Langer grubber kicks. Bennett wrote in his book how the Broncos players didn't seem to produce their best for their state. As the Qld coach, he was determined to change that this series. They both scored tries in the decider that year as well. Steve Price got a try in that game. What a warrior he turned out to be for Qld. Who could forget Martin Lang's chase on Rod Wishart? It was actually Matt Sing that ended up making the tackle but that was an amazing play. I wish it got more recognition as it typified the 'never say die' attitude of the Queenslanders. For mine it was up there with Tallis throwing Hodgson over the sideline. How could a side with Fittler, Johns and Daley lose? Great game and a great series. Definitely one to remember. [/QUOTE]
