There were some great hits in tonight's game! Especially the one Buderus put on QLD's lock! haha Nice sneaky knee from the QLDer, it was the best thing he did all night apart from continually getting smashed.Blewy said:
I would never have picked Finch as the potential match-winner with the field goal...lucky I don't claim to be an expert on this game
I thought we were going to get flogged!Did anyone see Reg Reagan's pre-match analysis of the players in today's Daily Telegraph?
I thought Inglis and Bowen looked a bit gun shy after getting hit hard early too. (Can't blame them, I'd be in tears)
Turned into quite a match.

I thought I'd throw in some of Reg's player profiles as they're quite funny:
Brett Hodgson: Has the look of the boy next door, but don't be fooled people, this guy has a mean streak. He lists his likes as bashing people and watching x-rated movies, and dislikes as The Wiggles.
Mark Gasnier: I heard the $800,000 offer from rugby is rubbish! He's been offered an incentive deal from the ARU of $100,000 a tackle. He won't go!! He's on $300,000 at the Dragons. WHY GO FOR LESS!!
Timana Tahu: Fantastic player who is addicted to karaoke lounge bar spectacular singing - which is a rather riskier form of karaoke where the participants perform either nude or in drag. Can't wait for the National Anthem!
Craig Gower: Just a great little competitor who loves a tough battle. Went to Vietnam for his honeymoon 'cause he thought the war was still on.
Willie Mason: Love him!! So big, he needs council approval every time he leaves his street.
Danny Buderus: Has battled back spasms all week in camp, which is a byproduct of carrying Andrew Johns for almost 10 years.
Steve Menzies: It's great to see him finally marrying his long-suffering girlfriend - Suyin - and putting an end to those nasty gay rumours.
Mark O'Meley: God I love this bloke, drinks bourbon at halftime and lists his likes as shooting and fighting.
Matt Bowen: Supplies twice the entertainment. Talented enough to bring the crowds to their feet. Small and durable enough to be shot out of a cannon at half-time.
Justin Hodges: Probably the premier ****-stirrer in the game at the moment. Loves to question opponents' ***uality and parentage. A feel good player.
Darren Lockyer: A great mate of Reg's. Owns a bar near Suncorp Stadium called Ice Bar. Looking forward to having a drink with Lockie as soon as my four-year ban expires after Origin II
Steve Price: I remember seeing him off at the airport when he left for NZ. I gave him one piece of advice - look at the sheep, pat the sheep, hell, even eat the sheep, but don't fall into any bad habits. Oh well...peer pressure!!
Cameron Smith: I nearly fell over when someone told me he was only 22. Rumour has it he lies about his age to hide the embarrassment that he repeated Year 6 fifteen times. An Australasian record. Happy 46th next week Cam!!
Matthew Scott: Is the current North Queensland boot-scooting champion. Which he won in a dramatic dance off with Sam Backo, which lasted 6 hours. Sam was the real winner though, shedding 20 kilos.
Shaun Berrigan: What a tough little terrier this bloke is! Is missing about half a dozen teeth. Hates New South Welshmen like he hates dentists.
Sam Thaiday: Just a happy-go-lucky kid, who loves his footy, has a great head of hair and an enormous dandruff problem.

cant really argue with any of that, imo it was one of the most heartbreaking loses as a Qld supporter. We were gone, at half time i gave us no chance, but to get close and lose it hurts, i dont think mass changes are needed but the game plan does need to be altered. And the ball needs to be passed to Brent Tate on a lot fewer occasions.Mister Wright said:

Steven Bell really needed to get more of the ball, he looked dangerous whenever he had it. That was Qld's major blunder in not having Tate on the wing and Bell int he centres. Although Tate shouldn't have been there in the first place - was no where near match fit.broncoman said:

International Coach
Qld got smashed in the forwards. By all means, punt Tate and Bowen (for Tonga and Hunt respectively), but it's the forward pack the selectors need to focus on. Guys like Shillington, Harrison etc need to be considered. Heck, even bring in Brad Thorn for the first 20 minutes of each half. Least he won't let Mason stroll over in the opening 15 minutes. Never seen anything so soft in my life. I mean, defending your line in Origin used to be a test of your character. Players used to pride themselves on it.

I just watched the replay and I don't know why there is so much critisism of Lockyer. He was dangerous finding half gaps and putting players through and set up 2 tries. I think it is Thurston who needs to pick up his game at Origin level, his service as 1st receiver is what let Lockyer down.Craig said:
