Bring on Game III! Bring on the THREE-PEAT! Bring on the Maroon dynasty!

Bring on the big maroon coloured, over size check for 'Mr Archer'......

im hoping the blues can fire up for this one....... last nights game is now just history.....time to take back what is rightfully ours........

Bring on the glory days!!!!

[BringBackWillie]

Any of the legion coming down for this game?

[Chaos]

One all and coming into the decider...looking forward to it.
We were a lot better side in game two with Prince at half...Thurston played back to his best without all the pressure.
There is something about Prince that turns all players around him into better footballers.

The personal match up between Inglis and Gasnier will be one of the most anticipated...I can't wait to see how that one ends up.

[DIEHARD]

Should be a sell out for the decider now for sure!

There will be no "big maroon coloured check for Mr Archer". All proceeds were exhausted in game 2.

Last nights game is not just history, it's history repeating! 2nd time you've been walloped by the biggest losing margin of 30 points to Qld! Nice! And the second time you've been kept scoreless

Bring on the Glory Days? Qld has been having them for the past 2 years. Did I mention History repeating?

HA HA yes it was ARCHER who put the "don't argue" on Turner and Gasnier,
ARCHER booted the ball over the sideline when NSW had a rare chance,
And it was ARCHER who chip kicked for Folau in the corner!

No matter how bad anyone thinks Archer was,
He didn't make NSW play like CREAM PUFFS
They did that on their own.....


QUEENSLANDER!!!

well to be fair the same could be said for game 1.It didn't stop the whole of QLD blaming Archer and whinging to/about him and his refereeing in sydney until Kick off yesterday

I dont think there were many Queenslanders saying Archer cost us the game or anything
Im pretty sure it is widely acknowledged in QLD that we just played like crap
and NSW played better

Just like game 2
NSW were a bunch of rainbow fairies
& QLD was regular good old Queensland

I wish people would stop crying about the ref
Archer did this.... Archer did that.....
Unless there's a Unbelievably Shocking call or borderline cheating goin on,
(eg. S. Clark in Game 3 '06 and C. Ward in Game 3 '02),
Just leave them alone!

It was so much easier when Barry Gommersall was in charge and we could all just focus on the footy.

QLD side is the same as game 2, no surprise there... however NSW is interesting... I am not sure about Pearce, I think he can do the job, but whether it's too much pressure to come into things where he is, I just am not sure.

The rest of the NSW side is alright, I think Monaghan might add something in attack... while Cross as another prop was a must and good to see him back

[daveyk]

i think prince will be alot more on fire for this one, as he will be in camp from the start and not thrown in at the last moment...
