2015 State Of Origin Game 1: NSW v QLD @ ANZ Stadium

Tupou gets tackled in mid air, not a penalty. Boyd gets tackled in mid air, penalty.

Dear refs, please learn the word consistency you morons.

Anyway, great half from NSW. Defending very well besides the Cronk try and not giving away too much crap ball. Thurston had a nothing half, Cronk looks okay. Other than that their bigger name players have been fairly non-existent. Keep it up Blues, we can do it!
 
NSW on top at halftime 10-6 and looking good

1st try scorer in the second half is of huge importance

This could go either way !!
 
Can tell Bird & Watmough aren't there, the penalty count isn't 30-2, I'm glad they're out.
Don't want to be the whinger, but, why wasn't Slater pulled up for a shoulder charge? In all honesty, from my view I think it was a good thing as I like the shoulder charge, but why do some get caught out & others don't?
 
Tamou easily best on park so far and we finally see Pearce bringing club form into Origin!

The refs have been changing the way they ref the last few rounds, penalizing on what they consider intent rather than penalizing for any contact.
 
That was a really soft penalty, Could win it for QLD
