Seriously how good is it to watch a game of sport without bs artificial rules and constant umpiring interference ? Awesome.

NRL must be loving the way AFL is going.

Fantastic by Hunt. Amazing get then just pumped the little legs! Skill and will

and the 40-20 was pivottal. Huge second half. Hunt and Ponga. And the young fella Dearden was huge too.

The Gagai smashing turned the game. Made NSW think and inspired QLD.

Carrigan was very good, but Ponga BOG for me.

edit, Carrigan agreed in his speech! what a legend

Yep Ponga cut em up tonight he had to without Munster.

Carrigan was massive, and Gags stirred em up tough customer Gagai.

Beat Burton on points landed what 3 face punches to maybe 1 :))

I didn't think they could do it no Munster, reckon the Blues went in thinking the same.

What a contest.

AFL cant bring that these days.

NRL won more fans tonight make no mistake.

I was barking up the wrong tree, Ponga got man of the match, Carrigan man of the series, which is spot on.

How good are QLD at Lang Park. They win for fun, just like the Tigers do in finals against the Scats.

Carrigan’s influence on the series was immense.
Yep correct Drofder he was huge in the first game and one of a few to stand up in the rout in Perth.

Over due for a Maroons Jersey for mine but been struggling with injury the past season I think.

He got in the top percentile in his senior certificate, Qld HSC, that would be a first for a rugby league forward I'd wager.

Yes great choice for series medal

agree, maybe 2.5 to 0.5. Burton, or NSW, was not banking on that response to a drive by cheap shot on the star opposition playmaker. brilliant stuff.

Just watched the replay on Fox to get a slightly better unbiased commentary than 9s NSW slant last night.
Chris Scott = Brad Fittler
The 2 most disingenuous *smile* unlikeable coaches in Australian sport IMO!

Best Origin series ever ?
As a whole series, I'd say yes.

Andrew Johns sooking after the game was so unprofessional. Never seen anything like it. I can't decide if it was wrong-headed grandstanding or just genuine sore loser, You'd never see that in footy.

The targeting of Ponga is down to Fittler. so agree. I am still so impressed by Gagai. I don't condone violence, but I can see why he did it, it was building over the series, and he turned the game. Can't believe has was sin-binned and not sent-off.

Imagine if Pickett had decked Stewart after he took out Dion? Full on.

looks like Manly have multiple Israel Falou’s in their team. Pretty appalling and deserve to be sacked.
Yeh, but plenty will support them. They have a right to bigotry becuase they believe in the sky fairy. Do these guys ever critically question what they're being told by their pastors etc?
