Not the greatest performance, but to win in those conditions isn't something that can be scoffed at and they really beat the Bulldogs at their own game. Was very impressed with all the players that backed up. Parker in particular was a stand-out. To get through the amount of work he does, and fight in those tackles against one of the best defensive team and get in offloads is outstanding and the Broncos are really fortunate to have somebody of his calibre. He wasn't alone either, I thought all the Origin representatives brought the same enthusiasm back and I couldn't be any prouder of them. Also think Maranta deserves a wrap. In a lot of ways, it was a typical Maranta performance in that he went over the sideline and bombed a try (as hard as it was) but he was still able to come up with some really tough plays that challenged everything about him as a footy player. I think wingers more often than not are confidence players, so to concede that early disappointment yet come up with those plays while under immense pressure should be applauded. Finally, I really like what I'm seeing from Parcell. He's still a little unsure about himself but when he just decides to run the ball forward he's elusive and defensive teams have a hard time trying to get their hands on him. While it was a good play from McCullough (one of only a few, I thought he was quite poor ol' Macca) to send Blair over, I thought Parcell's run was just as integral. I really hope we see more of him. While I was as disappointed as anybody to lose Granville, I think Matt is just about the perfect replacement. [/QUOTE]
