that is to say QLD lost to NSW last night in the first Origin.
Man it was a GOOD game - at half time the score was QLD 4-0 (Smith missed the conversion) then NSW got a try got the conversion and a penalty so the score was NSW 8-4 then QLD got another try but again Smithe missed the conversion so we're 8-8 (and there's the new golden point rule because you're no longer allowed to draw!)
What a crock - so there's about 10minutes left and my house is buzzing there were 8 football FANATICS in my house (and 3 people on Joeuser) and 2 of them were Blues supporters.
Anyway we KNEW if it went into Golden point time we were screwed because we had NO kickers (most of QLD is made up of bronco's except the bronco's kicker was a blue - and our best kicker was our skipper who's out with an injury)
So we lost NSW 9-8.
If only Cameron Smith didn't miss either one (or both) those conversions -- we'd have had the game sewn up!
Next Origin - June 16
