Seriously what do NSW have to do to win a series? What else can they do?

That was incredible.

What a game.

this has been spoiled a little bit by the refs, when queens land was under pressure tony archer just had a blow for a few sly penalty's for laying on. nsw have been robbed in 2 games and not one aussie commentator is moaning so i dont know if there all QLD men.

Lost for words. That game was not just RL at its best - it was sport at its best.

I will see a State Of Origin game live before I die.

I thought this thread was on about the international origin tonight at Huddersfield, now ive read it all im disappointed none of you have mentioned it, as it is the epitome of Rugby League in the UK and far out do's anything else others have to offer.

I have just watched an australian broadcast with two teams allegedly playing rugby league, what a borefest it was, no action and a number of gobby aussie commentators hyping it up and so called ex players who know absolutely nowt about the game.

Ill stick to the sky team thank you very much!

the inglis almost try and then nsw regaining possession was absolutely brilliant.

This morning Queensland v New South Wales.

This evening England v Exiles.

Talk about 'After The Lord Mayor's Show'.

Silk Purse,Sows Ear comes to mind.

Never mind eh.

That kick (was it Farrah) and the take by Morris unbelievable. Only outdone by tackle one kick to Hayne shame he got himself injured taking it.

Really feel gutted for NSW. I don't have any links to there, just like to see the underdog win (except when we're playing obviously).

I'm not even going to watch the match tonight cause I know there will be no comparison to what I've witnessed this morning. Seriously the best sporting event on the planet bar none for me. It makes international RL look like a joke when there can be two teams of this quality put out by one nation.

You could put out another team using the reserve state of origin players which would still beat England as well.

It was very diffcult indeed !

I did get up very early as well so i could see what the hype was about, so you can imagine that at 11am i got up to see this borefest

I had to keep switching over for the +1 showing of that jeremy kyle person, as it seems those people on his show seem to wear tracksuits so by rights must be a very energetic lot and it filled me full of energy, much better than watching semi clad australian chaps having an organised brawl, totally boring.

Sterling and Gould certainly aren't. I'm surprised Gould didn't say anything but he probably couldn't on air.

We can put a competitive 17 together IMO, the England players need to learn to play at such a high intensity for 80 minutes before we can get anywhere near them internationally.

Was Sam Thaiday playing in a pair of stockings ?
