Yep blew those chances it was over.
Blues didn’t get into gear well enough to me - not fluent enough a lot of the game and handling errors too much even though wet.

If we could diffuse kicks it would have been a walloping to be fair

2/5 conversions.

There is where it was lost.

NSW missed a two point field goal late in the first half also in addition to only having 2/5 conversions.

also Cleary's disallowed try re obstruction, seriously they were not going to get to him period.
That was a soft ruling.
Also the pen count, like 8-0 for most of the game ended 10-2.
No sour grapes you can see Blues are the better all round stronger squad game 3 should be in their hands.

I agree on the disallowed try, but it was very dumb of Stefano to get in the way like that.

I think that he was trying to back up to get onside in case Cleary needed to pass to him. Perhaps turn around and face the direction un which he is intending to run?

I think that a NSW win in game 3 is the most likely result.

Some of the penalties were warranted and were either sloppy, lazy or brain explosions from some of the NSW players.

I also agree that a few more penalties could have been blown against QLD.

Holding down or westle in the ruck after the call of held is a grey area. Whatever the ref decides for that game, try to apply the same standard to both sides.

QLD need to hold down in tackles and keep a very skinny 10 to be sure of stopping NSW rolling through them. If the ref is too strict or relaxed in that area it can affect the game, if he treats the teams differently, it can decide the game.

I am amazed with less than 2 minutes to go that a team 6 points behind with less than 2 minutes to go kicks long rather than chip and chase.

Not the first time I have seen a play like that.

Tits and Des probably deserve the spoon.
