Locky cemented his place as an Origin great that night, the 3rd game of 06

 

[LMFAO]

NSW will win the series 3 - 0

Game II will be a major blow out. 28 - 4 to the blues

Maroons looked very poor in game I and only having 1 forward in game II is not good. Mal is scared of the fast mobile NSW team and has changed his team to try and counteract that. Bad move Mal.

GO THE BLUES.. this year the rot stops!

The NSW pack is definitely mobile and Queensland definitely had forwards who were not up to the challenge, hence the changes. Why do you think the changes are a bad move? I'll also point out that pack sizes are very similar, the absence of another specialist prop is alarming but considering the current form of the forwards Queensland selected and their playmakers also, to write them off seems careless.

Not to mention the blow to the NSW camp with Ferguson's off field discretions, a great attacking asset in career best form and Hayne, a fantastic fill in as custodian while Stewart is injured. Dugan is good, but Hayne is much better.

I don't think the mobility has really payed off like Mal hoped. Our best forwards last night were easily Parker, Scott and Myles. The only 3 specialist middle third players. I am a little worried about game 3. NSW giving away penalties got us out of our own end, but I doubt we are going to win the penalty count in Sydney. I really hope Hannant gets into the side.

Hannant & Scott to start, with Big Papa off the bench again. I'd like to see 4 genuine props, but that should do it. Myles does well enough pushing up front (keep Thaiday back though) and I'm really impressed with McQueen / Gillette / Teo. Definitely concerned about an ambush again in Sydney: the Blues will be embarrassed about that, especially after getting a sniff in the first game (which DOES make it all the sweeter!) We'll need to come out firing again for sure. Gonna be a cracker!!

How surprising, Ricky Stuart defending his baby boy, the best halfback in the world.

I got wind lastnight that the NSW Govt has set up a support hotline for those Blues fans still struggling with this years' series loss - let's face it, they were pretty close and could have won it. I know a couple of Blues supporters who got their hopes up (suckers!) and they were devastated!

But anyway - if you know of someone who needs someone to talk to, the number is 1800 80 80 80.

That's won-eight, zip-zip. Eight-zero. Eight-zero. Eight-zero.

Spread the word, we're all League supporters, we should help each other out...NSW can't help being shit, it's not their fault.
