We are more in the QLD role. It tends to be our players who get sent off.

As I predicted a comfortable come from behind win. The best halfback in the world was needed and luckily for us he is in our team.
So sitting at the Treetops Tavern with just the 4 NSW Supporters me, the wife, my best mate who is a Newtown tragic and his wife surrounded by maroon supporters.
An uncomfortable first 20 min to the game where we looked and were 2nd best Cleary got us back into the game.
Undoubtedly the send off cost the Maroons victory but it was a send off every day of the week, the slight head clash certainly came after the illegal shoulder charge.
In those conditions it was always going to be hard for 12 men to hold onto that lead and thankfully with the last attacking kick of the night got us the chocolates with an amazing contested catch under those conditions by the form fullback of the competition.
To my eye we cant start with the same run on 13. If Haas comes through unscathed he should walk back into the team. I thought the debutants did themselves proud, Strange and Koula and both should retain their spots based on their performances.
How good is that young McLean going to be ? He should start next game he provided impact when introduced. I thought Brailey was the better of our hookers provides better passing game.
We celebrated with a roadie 2 x schooners of Tooheys New whilst the tavern emptied quickly after the final whistle.
A win is a win but we got away with one, still if you are going to break the rules you pay the price. I can see why some on here don't rate the current coach.

Right about now, I'd settle for a 30 point win.

Ahhh .. that day vs Manly when we finally come back to get in front and Tingha decides to kick the ball back to them at the death ... heart in mouth stuff but what a finish. Great day.

Yeah mate I dont get it, you can get suspended in a trial game like the CS, and miss games but not in origin, whats the difference.

Wishful thinking. I expected QLD to win. But I'm surprising myself with the tipping. I almost can't get the margin wrong.
