Queensland too good, NSW nowhere near good enough.
QUEENSLAND 16 (I Folau 2, B Slater Tries: J Thurston 2/4 Goals)
defeated
NEW SOUTH WALES 10 (M Cooper Try; C Fitzgibbon 3/3)
@ ANZ Stadium, Sydney.
State of Origin Game III was won by Queensland last night 16-10 at ANZ Stadium, giving the Maroons a 2-1 Series Victory and consigning New South Wales to a 3rd straight series defeat.
There will be a YouTube video highlighting a few reasons why the Blues got outplayed released Thursday 3rd July 2008 – so look out for it. It will be brutally honest in the appraisal of the NSW squad that contested this series and just a hint – if you are related to one Brett White – don’t watch the video.
Because in short – Brett White has drawn level with past NSW neverhasbeen Michael Vella as the worst forward to represent the Blues in State of Origin history.
Congrats to Queensland – pick a side full of good players and winning is a logical reward.
Memo to the NSW selectors – pick a side with too many ordinary players and a few players who are forced to play a different role in Origin than they do for their club and losing is the unavoidable result.
