Well done NSW, it's been almost a decade and a dour ruck-it-up game where EVERYONE played like a rugby union forward and back line play was put aside for the occasion as being too risky I suppose.
The only thing resembling back line play won NSW the game when Hodkinson dummied and went over for the winning try after Hayne in his own brilliant way saved the night for NSW when he slipped his arm in to dislodge the ball from Thaiday as he looked certain to score the try that would have made the score 10-zip after the conversion in front.
But it was not to be as the Hayne factor saved the day for the Blues.
My son, Andrew ST.George, won a six-pack off me, (coz I always bax the Toads (coz I used to play footy up there before Origin started and remember the bad old days when big Artie Beetson used to play for NSW)).
What Andrew doesn't realise is that the six-pack could be a half-dozen eggs (that he sometimes consumes in a day) or maybe even one of my two six-packs that I am currently carrying in the stomach area. I could go for runs around the block until one of them wears away and thank him for the gift of good health. Sadly he will probably go for the hopoholic option and not share them with me coz he reckons I enjoy the home brew enough not to need it. He's right
. Anyway, cockroaches, your day has come but be wary of the wounded Canetoad in Brisvegas.
