Good stuff Kenny. Not long to go now... last ads just on.

Morning LB

We have just had the Artie Beetson footage , proper player

I've got an awful feeling Qld by 10-12 points but have to I have faith in the Blues.

We need a good start, no errors, hit 'em hard when they have the ball... try and rattle and dominate them. Then keep it up for 80 mins. Won't be easy.

I saw him many times. A legend. Tough as nails and clever player who could always deliver when it counted.

No it will be a tight game , but i have a feeling NSW will do it .

Showed you the AUS OD'i team watching it before todays game , that could benefit England

God please let NSW finally win.

I've become very detached from the Origin and NRL in general since I moved to the UK but I gotta admit there's nothing on the planet like it as a physical contest.

Sadly I was in such a rush this morning I forgot to Sky+ it.....

My Grandad met him when he was over here with us , said he was a huge bloke but a such a decent man to talk to .. always had time for the fans

All the propaganda now... nice camera work though.

We are getting the pictures but our own commentary at the minute

It's like a mini Old Trafford... looks great when you consider they kept the old original grandstand, renovated it and built the new tiers around it.

And they are out ................ few boo's there

the more the merrier!

Skybet have odds on everything

Greg Bird and Sam Thaiday for the 1st punch up ?

Bird wouldn't surprise. Top notch thug.

Well here we go , fingers crossed

Fingers crossed.

Didn't take long did it

It's on already Tate and Gallen...

Cheap shot from Tate on the ground

So the ref didn't see the jaw blow?

Doesn't look like it , Bird wont forget that though

That was lucky.

Go on son

Thought he was going all the way there

Good cover from Thurston and Cronk

Penaly for offside , NSW take the 2 and Carney kicks it

Very flat play the balls from Qld few of those looked forward

Morris in? Think he got it down.

I think he got that down

Try NSW Brett Morris

8-0

Carney adds the extras QLD 0 V NSW 8

Brilliant start....keep the commentary up guys!

Morning mintie

NSW have started well , need to keep the pressure going

Turnover... a few meters out. Good defence Blues.

Yes great defence by the blues keeping QLD out

Grant gives away a silly penalty which should give QLD good field position

3rd tackle QLD 5 metres out

and Boyd goes in at the corner for QLD

Boyd scores in the corner... same as O1. Identical move, NSW suckered again!

Thurston misses the kick .............. QLD 4 v NSW 8

Mouse trap play the ball...

Some bad missed tackles, Watmough saves it on the line.

NSW not really turning QLD round with the kicks ..........straight down their throats

QLD should of scored there

another scuffle in back play

this is boiling up nicely

Bleeding from banging his head on the grass... poor Ben Creagh.
Tamou back on.

QLD have definately up the pace NSW under lot of pressure now

11/12 completions each and around 125 tackles each... very even game.

T-Rex warming up.
