Cam Smith the bias ****. How are the qld commentators allowed to scream on winning tries ever time on telecasts. Its bullshit. Never see a NSW commentator do that.

Yep. Gus screams for QLD tries

It's time to admit it....Fittler is more useless than Fairfax as a coach. Needs to go earthing in the deep pacific ocean with a 100kg noose around his neck........ok maybe not the noose but he needs to go. Did zero to change the game...picked players like that sharks centre who were clearly not up to it. Sure he won us one premiership in 50 years but that was as a player...useless as a coach.

Bit harsh as they won game 2 so obviously the same side was going to be picked - Queensland obviously worked on fixing their game for the decider and so often the team that loses the previous game wins the next game in SOO.

If you look at the series overall game 1 was the game which cost NSW the series despite game 3 being a decider.

I don't care about the state of oranges. I only care about the state of my Roosters...

That was just a brilliant game of league QLD were worthy winners congrats to all the Chooks involved & hope Collins is okay.

[ARD]

Getting really tired of losing this year.

[The Brain]

Like first game no 10 ruck not policed Tino free license to head high...Freddy is gonna cry..

[ChookMaster]

Great game of footy. Brutal

[DP1990]

I think Whighton could have made a difference in that game.

Agree !

[bondi.boy]

Toops had a shocker...but why was he selected to play on the RIGHT wing?
He's a LEFT winger.
Blues got that horribly wrong and paid the price.

[Vee08]

Did not pick that result… but QLD showed grit, toughness & determination can beat, probably the best system in the game today in the NSW/Penrith Blues!

A bit of a throwback to the 80/90s brutality… there were even punches thrown OMG… what a thrilling game to watch.

[Roosters1908]

So punches thrown and no suspensions, even for Tino. Very interesting. I’m sure the NSW boys will file that little nugget away for future reference.

[Bondicigar]

No suspension for fighting but the cheese gets 3 weeks for calling a ref a cheat....

The NRL have finally got something right.

Yep and when they play the same card will have players not just binned but sent and will then serve time on the sidelines for weeks after.

I’m for the biff but if it’s a rule, then both Gagai and Toni had to go. 3rd man is a binning offence and nothing came if it. Gagai stars the whole thing by taking Burton out then starting a fight with him. What’s Burton supposed to do? Just let the dog hit him?

I think burton knew what he was doing when he “tripped” over ponga.

Possibly however that doesn’t give Gagai the right to then take him out then go on after it as well. It also doesn’t give Tino the right to come 3rd man in. Gagai was the instigator on both counts.
