I'm a 25 year old who loves most sports. Just moved home after 18 months in New York and have a goal to make Australia's sports coverage and sports reporting as good as America's. Top 3 favourite teams are Brisbane Broncos, Lakers and FC Barcelona. Favourite player of all time is Darren Lockyer. Other awesome athletes are Kobe Bryant, Lionel Messi, Kevin Durant, Robinson Cano, Drew Brees, Justin Tuck, Derrick Rose. I have a sports blog called 'Commentary Box' http://commentary-box.tumblr.com/

We are just hours out from State of Origin Game 2, a pivotal, must win game for the New South Wales Blues. While the…
Origin I was certainly not the prettiest game of rugby league I've ever seen. Nevertheless, it still had all the components of any recent…
Point 2 “The first 20 minutes of the game had every Queenslander just a little worried. The speed at which the Cockroaches played the ball, the way the Blues were destroying Queensland up the middle of the ruck, the slow play of the ball from Queensland had all the momentum favouring the Blues”. Pretty sure i wrote about how NSW kept catching QLD forwards..
Yeah NSW only had 2 weeks to prep, this is why you lost and why NSW haven’t won a series in the last 6 years. QLD has better players in the halves, at fullback and at hooker. So you admit NSW are the weaker side? So the stronger team won, glad we agree on that, but you a sting whinging like Ricky Stuart and Paul Gallen, you must be from NSW.
When a team wins people talk about how they won and what they did to win (because that is the whole point in playing). When a team fails (like NSW in game 1), people discuss what they did wrong and how to fix it.
“Who said i am not in public and at the local discussing my thoughts on Origin aswell as online?” What’s to say every Queenslander you have accused of being an “Online QLD pighead” isn’t in public and at the local discussing their thoughts on game 1? Is this seriously what you are arguing about now? Come on, even you are better than that.

Ceebow… “Why is it online we find really pig headed QLDers but in public and at the local we find the complete opposite?”, and you keep talking about these “online QLDers”.You are online, not in public and at the local, being pig headed starting fights with people you don’t even know. Pretty sure you called QLDers hypocrites, little bit of the pot calling the kettle black don’t you think? Good work man.
New South Wales have won 5 out of the last 19 State of Origin games. I’m from QLD and supporting my State is what Origin is all about, QLD are and have been dominating Origin for the last 6-7 years, so of course the article is bias towards QLD. If NSW had dominated game 1(and the last 6 series), I would have written that, but the fact is they didn’t and haven’t (except for the first 20 minutes of game 1). NSW poor decision making and lack of composure is what screwed them, why don’t you talk about that? Why don’t you discuss the stupid decision to take 2 points 40 meters out, or the stupid decision to take Farah off, or the stupid decision to continually put high balls up to Tate who was defusing everything? Instead you choose to attack the referees decisions which funnily enough your NSW players can’t be held accountable for.
Kind of hard to write an article on how “great” NSW are in Origin at the moment don’t you think? Consider out of the last 19 Origin games QLD have outscored NSW 386-277.
Your hatred on the article actually makes writing it all worth while, so cheers.

EagleJack, think you interpreted it wrong, wasn’t saying Pearce coming up and getting pinned for offside a pest move, was talking about the whole NSW attitude in the game.
If Farah was really kicked in the head on purpose, do you think the league would let that slide? I’m saying the notable strikes come from NSW.I agree no one who takes the field in Origin is a saint, but are you saying every player on the ground who gets a hand in his face or on their neck has the right to jab that tackler like Hayne did?

WHAT? Did you just try to win this debate by dropping facts on how much NSW donated to QLD after the floods? On top of that try to link my passion against NSW during Origin to me being ungrateful for the donation QLD received from NSW? That is the definition of immature.
Once again, just as others have stated, you don’t make any sense, at all. Never said they can’t be beaten, my OPINION is they won’t. Shit man, how did you go from Origin to the flood donations? Haha are you really playing the flood donation card? It’s a sports article based on my OPINION, not a person attack on you or the state of NSW. My OPINION might not seem right to you and obviously my OPINION is different to your OPINION, deal with it and stop trying to find some magical and outrageous connection between this article and the QLD flood donations, calling on that is totally desperate and pathetic.
You’re further proving my point about NSW whining too much. Evidently your OPINION is much different to my OPINION, just like the Inglis try, get over it and move with your life.
