From a QLD view this is one of their best comebacks from 1-0 down. 2008 was similar except we didn't even have a halfback for most of the decider.
Gillett had one of his best Origin games. Unlike in previous games, when he raced up out of the line, he actually stopped the momentum of big boppers like Klemmer and Woods. He made a lot of important defensive efforts. Chasing Munster's kick and grassing Pearce in the in-goal was huge.
For NSW there really is no excuse for losing this series. We trotted out weaker teams this year than what we did in 2014. How on earth do you score 44 points in 107 minutes, then go 133 minutes with one try from a kick?
lol that footage of Munster post-game coughing his guts up saying he's gotta get off the winnie reds. Funny cunt.
Took a while but the sour grapes and ref whinging has come out today from down south. Good to see dem lemonz from Alexander.
There was a couple of dud calls, but we could have had a 20-0 penalty count and still lost with how we played last night. No way we can blame the refs.
How did I know you'd be apologising for the cunt. You can't use this game as a positive for him (he was far and away worst on ground anyhow) when he's had what 18 games and generally been pathetic throughout those matches. He is without question pound for pound the worst State of Origin player of all time.
Yeah the last sentence I totally agree with. Of all players who've played, shall we say 15 games plus, I struggle to think of any one player who has been a bigger failure.
Yeah Pearce is the worst player to play as many Origins as he has by like 10 country miles. 18 games and he's been terrible in at least more than half of them.
Pearce has now played more Origins than Mortimer, Sterling, Stuart, Kenny, Roach, Sironen, Toovey, Lamb, Lyons, Clyde, Kennedy, and his own father. List of NSW players with 18+ Origins.
