over the past 5/6 years of me watching state of origin (am only young not like you lot who have been watching rugby for donkeys years

) i dont understand how queensland havent won every origin game. I mean just looking at the maroons 3/4 line which is unbelievably strong, quick and agile, then the forwards of civoniceva and price and even then thats just mentioning a few. I mean NSW have some decent players but compared to Queensland......i just dont get it! correct me if im wrong but i think queensland completely outskill, outpace and tbh out-play NSW in every aspect of the game!

6 Years ago would make it 2003.

NSW had some class acts then. Mostly notably, Johns and Gasnier. As well as Cooper, Buderus and Luke Bailey.

Perhaps that has something to do with it.

yeah good point

before queensland won 3 in a row nsw were dominant and people were saying origin was dieing out

this is a special queensland side, probably the best side theyve ever produced since the game of RL was played in queensland

just enjoy a very special RL side, NSW have a lot of good kids coming through.

The tide will eventually turn, like it always has.

The year QLD don't turn up with Civo and Price in their front row is the year NSW win. It could happen before that, but we will be riding on complacency of QLD, which is quite conceivable in itself.
