Each year I say State of Origin has lost it's roots, now just another Game of Footy. But this shows how much Players still lift for State of Origin. Wally Lewis was saying yesterday how sick in the Stomach he used to feel before every Game and that the current Players would all be feeling the same too. Sick due to the expectation and responsibility.
Tommy Raudonikis said yesterday that the first half of Game One was the best half he'd ever seen in Footy.
If NSW were $1.75 and Qld $2.15 last night I wouldn't have put a Bet on it.
Thurston played with a busted Shoulder all Game? He is an immortal if he can lift a side like that. They say that's what he does within a Team. If those Rookie Qld Forwards "stood up" last night they are Champions.
Game 3 at Suncorp. It'll be a great Game.
