QLD State of Origin Team GAME 2

Update: Darren Lockyer is out, and Scott Prince is in the starting lineup at half back. Jonathan Thurston moves to number 6. My concern would be the halves in defensive given their size, I think NSW will look to target Thurston and Prince, as QLD scrambles to cover their smaller halves. Should be an exciting game!

  1. Paul Wright Says:

    I watched the 3rd Origin in 2007 at the game.
    For the final 22 minutes of the game Graheme Murray had both runners on the field the whole time. They directed NSW in attack and defence for the whole of the final 22 minutes.
    It is totally against the rules but I bet NSW trys it again in the 3rd 2008 to try to get their team home.
