Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2687894, member: 1899"] A really bittersweet result. On the plus side the guys scored 44 points and it was beautiful to watch. That Milford try maybe the best individual effort I've seen in lord knows how long. I'm going back at least to 2011 to Jack Reed's memorable try against Melbourne but I thought it was better than that. What a super play and some great work from Glenn in the lead up. Alex has been very one dimensional for awhile now so it's good to see him use his skills more this year. Also got to give credit to Blair on the chase for Uate. That was a super effort and I'm glad Hadley recognised his efforts after focusing entirely on Uate's effort. I don't think Akuila bombed it as much as Blair limited his options. But gee that effort on Levi was laughable. The last time I saw an effort like that, it was Kennedy on Korbin last year. Hint of some foul play in the lead up but you can't take yourself out of play like that. If you're going to behave like that, you may as well give up all your dignity and just dive (ala Thaiday on Reynolds). Watching Hodges give Mata'utia a bath was enjoyable. I've been calling for the Broncos to make a tough call on him for some years now because of how vital roster management is in the NRL but I've always loved watching him play. Those bat-ons for Maranta were sublime and I just loved how late in the game he'd park himself near the ruck and stick up for his players. If he isn't one of the best centres to play for Brisbane, I'm not here. Fingers crossed he goes out a winner in Origin. Easily one of the best centres to play for Queensland and some of the adversity he's had to come back from is just inspiring. Lesser players would have thrown in the towel such a long time ago. We're officially through the Origin period. In terms of results it could not have gone any better but with the loss of McGuire I've got a very bad feeling heading into the finals. [/QUOTE]
