Woods, Tamou, Klemmer and Scott all went for big hits and grubby ruck plays instead of dominating like in game 2.

Corey Parker showed hat he is pure class and that Klemmer and Woods have a long way to go before they even get close to his ability. The only weak link for QLD was Guerra and he even managed to score.

So NSW one and done. I don't think here will be another long QLD stretch of series victories, more a series or two each for the next few years. If NSW can get rid of Bird, Gallen and Ennis permanently and play through Farah and utilise their youth coming forward like Johnston, Moylan, Tedesco etc they will be far faster and fitter then an ageing QLD.

Better team own tonight, don't know what happened to NSW, but they were disgraceful.
Hoppa would of been better left off the park all together....NSW concentrated to much on the mind games with Robbie Farrah and too much trying to smash QLD rather then actually playing Footy it was a dismal performance and by half time half of them didn't even look interested..

Morris didn't inject themselves enough the halves didn't get the go forward needed from the pack, Woods was terrible..

but what a difference Cronk makes to that Qld team...
