Stuart has now conceded that it was a try by Inglis so why did the commentary team get it so wrong? Agree about there being minimum changes to the NSW squad for Game 2 which I will attend as a QLD supporter!

Do you believe him? Or do you think he's trying to get the refs on his die for the next two games?

The press conference i saw he refused to answer any questions on the refs.

Could be mind games now that the dust has settled. Harrigan the Ref's boss has given a concise explanation as to why a try should have been awarded but at the same time has criticised the on-field refs for a couple of "poor" decisions leading to the possibility that the refs could be changed in Game 2. For what it is worth I would have awarded a try and further predict that on last nights form NSW will win in Sydney.

I must admit I didn't think it was a try and I don't think it would of been given if it was a SL game. In SL we tend to look for reasons not to award a try unlike Aus were they look for reasons to give it.

Even if Nsw win the 2nd game they won't win the 3rd.

The nrl commission has to do something about taking games out of state.

Cracking game and I thought NSW were the better side, awful decision for the Inglis try and even harrigan said they VR got it wrong. Queensland got most of the 50/50 calls tbh.

Jennings & Hayne were great and Gallen is a machine. Tamau was impressive but the most disappointing players were the the halves, never ran the ball enough. I'd stick with them though, pointless continually changing the pivots. Farrah had a good game too but not sure on Merrin, Creagh and Burher.

Inglis, Thurston and Scott were good and Tate dragged a great performance out of the bag.

I hope NSW change the bench but leave the pivots alone, continuity is the way forward.

Carney was just to nervous imo, to drop Watmough for Creagh and Burher was madness.

Loved the Inglis/Morris battle.

Got to stick with him though, he'll get better. Watmough should have been in.

Morris had a real barnstormer of a game, Carney was clearly nervous but is a class act IMO but in fairness it wasnt the time bomb of a match i was hoping for and not the show piece opener were used to...
NSW were the better side but couldnt do the small things right when it counted
NSW win next up for me

your not wrong, bet he is next time

Just watched the game, god I love SOO. Morris was a beast and Hayne was awesome, think QLD showed their class and had a couple of important decisions their way. Carney looked very nervous, showed a few nice touches but not great at all. Where is Soward? Surely should be in the team?

And how the was the given as a try for Inglis? Utter bollox. The ball was kicked out of his hands, but then bounced off his forearms and went forward! Awful decision.

Oh, and Gallen is a machine.

I think he'll be there for Origin 2 , Looks like T rex is out for a while.

6 weeks.

Where were you sitting? I was sitting right by the Blatchys Blues section and the atmosphere was great. Things got pretty hostile when the dodgy try was awarded with intense arguments breaking out, being thrown onto the pitch and a full blown punch up kicked off at the final whistle.
That was my first time at an Origin game and I f@ckin loved it. Shame the Blues couldnt get the win though. Wouldnt mind seeing a replay on the box, games always look different from the stands.

Finally found time to watch the game, SOO in danger of making a mockery of itself for me now, far too one-sided. There's no doubting that Queensland are a seriously impressive side with the players they have and the understanding they've developed over this period of dominance, but with the way the series has been reffed over the last few years NSW might as well not bother. They were the better side and still deprived of the win. The run needs to end for the good of the competition.
