If I were a dragons or manly fan I would be furious if any player took the week off to save themselves for a state game.

Hodges and Thaiday for cheap shot of the yr says… June 28, 2011 at 2:32 PM

The grubs are back together. Thaiday and Hodges. You know you're a grub Hodges due the fact a former team-mate of yours Casey Maguire punched you square in the face. Qldr don't bother in saying anything about Gallen, etc. We already know they are but remember the cheap shot you put on Gidley in 09'cause you were losing. NSW doesn't need to do that. You are sore losers and grubs to boot. PS Down here we won't forget Lockyer's part in that or him lying about his identity when he was a thug at a nightclub a few years ago. You tried to sweep that under the rug but we remember. Go the Blues

Blue Bear of Everything Blue says… June 29, 2011 at 3:04 PM

If Soward plays NSW will be very hard to beat, based on his superior kicking game. Forwards and back rowers will be too strong for the QLD pack and Thaiday and Hodges will revert back to their dirty tactics, only to be ironed out by the Enforcer Beau Scott. Giddyup Blues, smash the Morons like a pinata!

Tink of Gold Coast says… July 01, 2011 at 6:32 PM

Queenslanders love beating NSW....it's in our DNA to hate the Cockroaches from the day we are born. Go MAROONS! QUEENSLANDER!

Patrick 'the blue of Springwood says… July 01, 2011 at 6:55 PM

Nup, New South Wales are gonna devour Queensland on Wed. night, I'm just saying the truth, we may not have Hoppoate or Creagh but our spirit will get us over the line!! Go the mighty Blues, we're going to win. Hayne, Ennis the menace AND the Hayne train will get Queenslands so called legends.

maninga is a spastic of caxton hotel says… July 02, 2011 at 9:07 AM

nsw should be playing for a 3-0 sweep all for a 4 minute period in game one when queensland scored late the 2 games that have been played this year queensland have not dominated hey mal maninga smell my finger (the middle one) go the blues....

Macca of Darwin says… July 02, 2011 at 9:59 AM

To comments above,QLD have been the Aussie team for the last two major world comps,four nations & world cup & have lost both!! You need a mix of both NSW & QLD players & a good coach to win, bring back wayne bennett. As for Wednesday night,NSW know they can win, QLD are expected too,that is the difference.NSW need to pile on the points when they are in front & not slow down!!

19
DT of North Brissie says… July 02, 2011 at 2:17 PM

There is no way NSW can win on Wednesday night! The Blues will come out fired up early, but QLD always start better and they will not slow down again like they did in the last two. The only reason blues got back into it in game 1 was because of silly errors of QLD, and in game two the same! That will not happen again, because once the have the lead the motivation of winning for Locky will ensure mistake free and the skills and experience of the QUEENSLANDERS will show though. Sorry Blues it WILL be 6 in a row. Go the Maroons!!

ARCHER IS THE REF QLD BY 30

21
Nissen of NSW says… July 03, 2011 at 11:31 AM

GO THE BLUES LETS CANE THOSE COCKY TOADS THEY DESERVE IT!! The Blues have lead the last 3(Yes THREE) Origins with 5 minutes to go. The Australian team has been full of Queenslanders and has: Lost the World Cup, Lost the 4 Nations, won the 4 nations (just). GO THE BLUES!!!

22
MS of Perth of perth says… July 03, 2011 at 7:27 PM

There will be no 6 in a row. It's time to create our own bit of dominance over a ageing QLD team.GO BLUES!!

Blues will lose of Brisbane says… July 04, 2011 at 11:50 AM

weak blues can't even get the team ready half the side hasn't even trained scott n creagh shouldn't be there they r chokers n their injured n theres morris n soward more wimpy dragons injured. Lets see if the blues have a team by halftime, NSW have only won 3 games in 5 years, in two days time it will be 6

24
Shayne Farah of Milperra says… July 04, 2011 at 5:37 PM

@ALL YOU QLDER'S CLAIMING TO HAVE MORE LEGENDS THAN US!!!!!!!! Well where were they in Game 2??????????????GO THE BLUES & HOPEFULLY GALLOWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

25
Archer will win it of Here and there says… July 04, 2011 at 6:27 PM

Archer has been called into the QLD side so its going to be very difficult for NSW to win. All we can hope for is Archer gets taken out early in the game so things can be square on the paddock.

26
Alimarn of PNG says… July 04, 2011 at 6:53 PM

The Key to Blues winning is Soward. He has to be put away. In Game 3 his legs should be the target during tackles be he is susceptible to leg injuries. Without him the blues are a bunch of losers

27
ben of brisbane says… July 05, 2011 at 1:56 AM

All you blues suporters need to realise is in the unlikely eventof QLD loosing we still have 5 great years to look back on, great moments and legendary players, you have nothing oh and to comment number 9 you mean that fight that the blues started and smith whokicked it within the rules just to get some revenge and Ben "the cat" Creagh running from hodges yea the blues are squeeky clean aye.

28
We are Australian says… July 05, 2011 at 12:08 PM

Queenslander through and through. It's scary but most of my friends and New South Welshman. I have lived in both states back and forth and I really can't determine the difference in how passionate the supporters are. I think Queenslanders are roudier but thats it. If you got us all in the pub I think you would find it a good atmosphere, you might get the odd idiot. its going to be a close 1. Go Queensland

29
Muz from Mutchilba, North Queensland of Melbourne says… July 05, 2011 at 5:15 PM

Born and bred QUEENSLANDER!!! Went to Sydney last game... NSW fans DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PARTY!!!! Wish I could have come to Brisbane this game. Will be watching at Turf Bar Melbourne. Be wearing my colours. Go Boys. Speaking of which.... Go Thursto... Go Scotty... GO COWBOYS!!! For premiers 2011!!

This is it GO THE MIGHTY BLUES time to do the talking on the field and shut the QLDers up

31
NSW joke! of Brisbane says… July 06, 2011 at 3:02 PM

Talk about grubs. NSW have the three biggest grubs playing the game. Ennis, Gallen and Bird. If Ennis worked for you he would be sacked as no one likes him. Then you have the biggest mug lair going around in Soward who has been around for 1 minute. I mean can you imagine a Qld player carrying on like he did in game 2. He would get a clip under the ear from every player. Queen slanders have always laughed at the attitude of NSWelshmen because they are tossers as shown by Ennis and Soward.Let's not forget SOward wouldn't even be here if that Roosters half didn't have another meltdown. Man up pussies!
