If that is the case, they have lost the plot.

Take the 1985 series in point. The first you Blues won.

I actually love looking at the highlights of game 2 at the SCG - which is one of the all-time great Origin games. NSW played a superb variety of attacking football and it was all by attacking players: Mortimer (Steve), Kenny, Ferguson, Grothe, Jack, O'Connor, Cleal, Elias and Roach. Players like Mortimer (Chris), Wynn and Jarvis chimed in with attacking play and the entire team played as an ensemble for captain Wayne Pearce.

Despite that, Queensland were magnificent and Lewis majestic. Lindner's team try and Lewis's 50m run just before halftime are great examples of our quality that day.

NSW need to get back to attacking us or they can get used to losing...

For that matter, I want to see us attacking you blokes, which we still have not done enough of in the last four years, despite dominating the four series. We should have won some games by 30 points. We generally didn't.

Certainly is.

His defence can be quite suspect although he does hit hard when he makes them.

I'm quite sure we'll see Hayne at fullback for a significant part of the game.

Spot on Gijou.
