I was amazed by Koloamatungi's batt pass ... he's one helluva back rower!

Hope Ivan Cleary gets to be part of next year's brains trust again. No better alternatives to Freddy atm...not till bellyache retires from Storm.

I think while Cody did a fantastic job for the Blues. Queensland was really missing that speed and final touches by Reece Walsh. The Maroons had enough opportunities to level or even win the game last night, but some of the passes and kicks especially were just a couple of metres off and the opportunities were gone.

From memory there were three times in the second half:

DCE’s kick to Xavier was too deep.

Munster’s kick for Val Holmes was beaten by the dead ball line , and

When AJ broke free to the Blues 20 meters he passed the ball to the right for DCE was intercepted. Reece would have back himself and scored under the post.

OTOH, Best would have got a triple if his teammates wasn’t a inch or two off side or if Crichton’s finger didn’t touch the high ball, the score could easily be 36-10.

The Blues deserved the win last night to restore some pride and Queenslanders were the rightful series winner.

Let’s do this all again in 2024 !
