Not the best game ever. Thought the Kiwi defense was excellent - in days gone by they would have folded having coughed up the ball so much. Referee did well.

Agree also. Refs in Tests and Origins should just be mannequines that can move out of the way of the players. Stay the hell out of the game, you should only be there because the rules above your power say you have to be.

Also, spud, our should be second-rate wingers still looked miles better than anything England have, as predicted. I know you agree, don't have to say anything. Oh, and Hodges was great.

did they? morris did bog all and yow yeh did nothing ryan hall,peter fox or even lee smith have'nt already done..

as for hodges..yeah he played alright..nowt special though

I reckon playing in a regular test winning team is something the england guys have not done!!!!

he caught the ball and touched it down beyond the tryline........he's NOT a superman just cos he's in green & gold

Getting capacity in any stadium for events like this is rare, when you have to take into account memberships and corporate space. The only time Suncorp fills even when 'sold out' is for origin games.

The fact that tickets that were usually reserved for corporates were sold at the very last minute to the general public shows why this occurs.

44k for two games of league on the coast over two days isnt bad
