    You seem a tad tightly strung, I hold grave concerns about your health if QLD lose this game.

    I saw someone point out recently that no-one has ever posted a Facebook status celebrating a NSW Origin series win. I wanted to cry.

    This series has been the biggest ever imo, I've never seen so many non footy fans so fired up about Footy. My facey had 150-200 statuses up about game 2, most from chics that hate footy or gay guys wanting to fly to brizzy for the decider.

    All these losses are making origin mean more and more to NSWmen, I imagine it's breeding a generation of uber passionate NSW kids, just getting ready to win 23 series straight.

    Sydney media. FMD.

    Apparently the punters are backing NSW to win tomorrow night. And the evidence for this is that more bets and more holdings have been taken on NSW to win than on QLD. And apparently the original 60 cent difference in value (and current 50 cent difference) isn't a factor.

    :laugh: As if that wouldn't have been true in Game 2 when they were $2.50 to win at home.

    It's funny watching Game 2 again. Well not so much funny. More like excruciating but yeah. Point I wanted to make is that after Morris's pathetic try, QLD were right on top in the forwards. No doubt about that. NSW's middle-third had no answer for Scott and Shillington and Myles and Civoniceva running hard and straight. I think we'll see more of this with only two props in the NSW side. Ron Massey used to say, big games you pick big players. That's certainly true when it comes to the middle-third, IMO. We outnumber them 4 to 2 which is the biggest disparity all series.

    This stuff about NSW's pack playing better than QLD's is just nonsense IMO. Both were relatively even in the first half. Field position was relatively even despite our handling being significantly worse. Second half is a different story though. Our forwards were coming home over the top of them in the last half hour. Forced 4 drop-outs in the second half alone. Aside from their two tries, both of which were from long range, NSW never really got a real good look at our line in the second 40. We were absolutely camped down in theirs for long periods. Unfortunately again, we also made far too many errors wilst attacking.

    He said he thinks Pearce is on the path of Johns and Lockyer, in so many words. That's a bit absurd.

    He's referring to the stages of development, not ability.

    The rest is just sensationalism on the journalists behalf.
