Sportz,

They don't need to win in Sydney anymore now that the 3rd game is in Melbourne.

But QLD was only in the game due to NSW mistakes. I think NSW took it easy a bit. NSW was the better team and deserved to win.

I think game 2 will go QLD way though .... Home ground and less nerves will see them pull it off, even if NSW gets back a few players.

there was no great comeback.....the nsw boys were obviously told to take it easy....let qld in a few times..... people would just stop watching origin if nsw won by 50 last night

The game had quite a few good moments but SoO is obviously rigged these days.
