1-1 and off to Brisbane we go 
I'd say there'd be a few sore players this morning.
91,000 crowd. well done Melbourne 
Congrats NSW.

Is it just me or did anyone else think the referees had a direct influence on the outcome of this game. (More than game 1)
Anyway as long as Cowboys players get through unscathed i dont give a $hit

not just you, i'll wager...

DCE looked lost.  some blokes just can't hack origin.  maybe he is one of them....  hopefully cooper will be right for game 3...  hunt might be a better option as the utility...

myles is done and guerra doesn't offer much in attack...  would like to see napa and papalii get a run...  bring mcguire into the run-on side...

[Moggy]

^^^ Mate your right about DCE pretty ordinary game. Bit disappointing really it would've been a good opportunity to shut the any of the nay sayers  (of which i am one) up.
I still think the biggest problem is game plan, so predictable, 4 hit ups the push it wide.
Probably need the Qld head of racing to be manager,  he'll know a bit about "blooding" players. I hear he's looking for a job ?

Yep sure did, both disallowed try decisions were crap. I felt the upstairs ref disallowed GI because of the obvious mistake made ten minutes before with NSW.

in fairness to DCE, he did do a load of defense last night... hoffman running at him every chance he got...

kicking game just wasn't there... our forwards don't have as much go-forward as nsw... tamou, klemmer, woods all make metres coming out of their own end...

massive understatement.. I didn't even know he was on the field until late in game when he kicked down field.

..the GI run away try was either knock on (Although barely clipped the dudes fingernail ends and I don't agree that it was a knock on as the dude was making a tackle, not playing for the ball), or offside... as it bounced off some dudes fluro boot on the way to GI who was infront of him...

I gave up waiting for the game to start, turned tele on at 7.40, and at 8.10 gave up as the ****in game didn't even look like it would start any week soon, but the sports bet ads were going off their tits... Started channel surfing and missed most of the first 1/2

[Green rv]

at least the tries that we did score were good solid tires. not tries off the back of poor ball handling
i think the refs are tied in with fifa somehow

the annoying thing is, though, is that if he was tackled before scoring the try, it's play on...  they don't go back and check it then...

i'm not convinced that it shouldn't just be ruled a loose carry...

i'm more annoyed about the morris 'try'... no way he has control.  in every NRL game this year, that's a no try...

i guess the NRL makes more money with a decider...

now your getting it... Im surprised that every series isn't 1-1 with a decider.


Work it out, bloke at coffee shop, his son is MCC member $35 for son, $105 for dad... 90,000 people there... most would have paid lots more than $105... = popping champagne corks.

Sorry Pacemen I had no problems with Morris try. He had downward pressure. That's a decision to get right pretty easily imo the ball will travel or bounce up if lost before ground not just roll out.

[Moggy]

Most of the punters will pay $200+. Even as a Qrl member the price is $280 +/-.
Bit like boxing day test covers costs of CA for the whole year.
Its a great ground the MCG but when will the NRL realize round grounds & league just aren't a good mix
I reckon you can tell on tv as well that cameras are so far away from action

the thing is:  commentators (both ch9 and abc) were both happy to spout on about pearce's drop ball (leading to GI try) being just a loose carry...

how is morris's try not a loose carry as well?  you can't tell me he had control when the ball touched the ground...

we can agree to disagree, i guess...

[Bird]

when will people realise that ALL forms of sport are only TV production companies these days, NRL, AFL, RU, Cricket etc....

In reality they couldn't give a rats left nut about those that go to the grounds.. the money is in TV rights.
