My predictions were based on the Qld forwards "holding their own or having an edge." But the nsw's forwards were great - Luke Lewis, Fifita, Bird, Gallen, (after a month off) Gallen's straight left was worth three ball offloads for pure inspiration!
Even so, in the second half, the brilliance of Slater, Smith and Inglis really started to show. You are a very brave man to have 5k down on nsw Travelmate. Congratulations!
Mind you, Jennings and Hayne really stepped up from their club form too. Anyone who bets against either of these teams is a brave man.
