Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3052749, member: 1899"] Such a deflating end to what was otherwise a gutsy performance from Queensland. They had no where near the strike of NSW yet got beaten at the death by a great long distance effort. I thought they played just about the perfect first half. 100% completions and they were making a lot of big hits when they needed to. They didn't go on with it in the second half. The Maroons got a little sloppy and for a moment there it looked like it was going to be a carve up. I think the Blues kept Queensland in the game just as much as Queensland kept fighting, but to their credit they levelled the scores. I've been critical of Freddy, but the way he used Murray tonight was outstanding. He was an absolute terror for the Maroons in that second half and just kept the middles extremely honest. I think bringing him on in the second half when he did swung the game their way and his involvement in that last play can't be understated. I feel extremely disappointed for the Maroons because it would have been an incredible win had they pulled it off. $3+ outsiders, winning away with key injuries. Unfortunately it didn't work out their way, but I think they did the jersey proud. There were some sloppy moments, but the efforts from McGuire and Lowe at the end will stick with me. [/QUOTE]
