Queensland GK: Adam Vago D: Charlie Downes D: Luke Pilgrim LW: Ben Manera C: Brett Gemmell RW: Ged King New South Wales GK: Rob Cribb D: Aaron Hunt D: Tom DeLonge LW: Scott Flack C: Ben Herd RW: Andrew James After the shoot out thriller of NZ and GB we have the game of the first round losers. NSW will be looking to bounce back and show their last game was a one off. They've brought in Aaron Hunt fora NSW debut in place of Jack Dempsey. Queensland had a good first up game and were somewhat unlucky to get nothing out of it. They'll be looking for more of the same this time out, just with the right end result. No changes.
End of 1st Period: At the end of the first we have another good game on our hands. Both teams managed to put one away in the first period. Herd started it off mid way through the period before Manera picked up one near the end. The scoring being dominated by Falcons in this one. Qld 1, NSW 1 Goals: Herd (1), Manera (1) Assists: N/A
End of 2nd Period: NSW take the lead in the second with a goal from Flack. They'll be happy to be in the lead, and will just want to hold on and take a win to get their confidence up. Qld are more than capable of staging a comeback in the final 20 though, so they'll have to be on their game if they want this win. Qld 1, NSW 2 Goals: Herd (1), Manera (1), Flack (1) Assists: N/A
End of 3rd Period: That'll do it. James scores the 3rd goal for NSW to make it a comfortable win in the end. Qld are struggling a bit in attack, but have still played quite well in their two losses so far, and can't be discounted from the series. The table now sees GB leading from NZ, NSW and Qld bringing up the rear. Qld 1, NSW 3 Goals: Herd (1), Manera (1), Flack (1), James (1) Assists: N/A
