[Big Pete]

8-4 NSW with a ktc for the Blues.

Collins scored the first try for the Maroons but the Blues have hit back with two back to back tries.

Only caught the Dufty try which was basically Hastings running at Taefu, turning him inside out before finding the fullback on the inside.

 

[Big Pete]

Mitchell scores for NSW.

Turpin crossed the line for the Maroons but was penalised for a sheppard. Blues then made easy ground through the middle before shifting right and Mitchell did well to take on the wing and fullback before eventually putting it down.

14-4 NSW with 22 minutes gone.

 

[Big Pete]

Duffin is coming off for the Maroons, looks like he suffered a knock.

Lewis grubbers for himself but the kick goes dead.

 

[Big Pete]

Burcell on report for an eye gouge allegation from the touchy.

 

[Big Pete]

Goal line drop out for the Maroons.

Mature play from Bambling.

3 minutes left in the half.

Fai drops a loose Turpin pass on tackle two.

 

[Splinter]

Right side defence of Lewis and Taefu is almost non existant

 

[Splinter]

Too many handling errors as well for QLD

 

[Big Pete]

Half Time

New South Wales 14 lead Queensland 4.

Queensland have had their opportunities to hit back but haven't made the most of them. The problem is Turpin keeps looking to run it through the forwards and they haven't hit the left hand side enough and when they have Bambling has played it relatively safe.

I like what I've seen from the Broncos forwards. All of the props have run really hard with Hipgrave really keeping the Maroons rolling through the middle while Duffin has been very willing through the middle putting in his toiler like performance and showing good guts to come back onto the field.

 

[Big Pete]

Galo loses the ball and the Blues race 60 odd metres to score.

Will be NSW 20 Queensland 4.

 

[Brett]

QLD look very ordinary.

 

[Big Pete]

Bad call from the referee, was definitely a second go from the Blues defensive player.

Maroons had the Blues covered there but Lewis once again makes a flimsy tackle and they nearly go onto score.

 

[Splinter]

Someone needs to tell Lewis it is not touch football. Thank goodness the raiders signed him

 

[Big Pete]

Queensland just want to come off the field at this point.

 

[Splinter]

I thought Turpin, Collins, Hess, and Duffin went okay but that was about it. Too many errors from the rest with Lewis being the worst player on the field. I assume he was selected because of his surname

 

[Cult]

This game was better than the main event and even it was shit. NSW must learn how to play dirty from a young age.

 

[1910]

Turpin was excellent, first time ever at hooker and he played really well. Recieved the player's player award.

He's unsigned by the Storm for next year.
