State of Origin - Decider: NSW v QLD @ ANZ

Pearce played better than Anasta all he did was the odd kick and took hit ups nothing creative at all
 
Ahh what a good game by our three Knights.

Seriously though, f*ck Origin. I'm so over it, all the hype.

Felt for Buderus, really did... but he has had a great career.

And what a f*ckwit Cameron Smith really is in his speech saying you have left Origin 'on a good note'.

Seriously, that's a smartass ****a if ever I have heard one.

Gidley was NSW's best, why he was taken off in the last 10-15 is beyond me.

Quinn shouldn't be in the side, Monaghan to the wing. At least he can jump!
 
they all played well

and it was suprising to see gidley start at f/b

but a good idea

feel for danny

hope he rips up for the knights now :)

I think Gidley was taken off because Brett stewart hadnt been on field for long and they needed Danny to come back on.

Joinn the Cameron Smith Hater group hahaha
i hate him, and i cant explain how much i hate him. Left origin on a good notee,,pffftt yes remmebering how Cameron held up that shield in front of his face.
"No feeling for Danny" and now the feeling suddenly pops out? totally.
 
NOT long after the full-time whistle blew, the NSW players formed as a group and headed across the field towards their skipper Danny Buderus to apologise.
They wanted to send him out a winner and they were not able to do it. Even coach Craig Bellamy felt the frustration of that failure.
"It's disappointing for all us that we couldn't do it for Danny tonight. He's one hell of a football player as everyone knows but he's one hell of a bloke too," Bellamy said.

"Those guys in the dressing shed love him and love playing with him."
Back in the sheds and with bags of ice on both his ankles and one knee, players kept coming up to thank him.
It was his 21st and last Origin and his 15th game as Blues captain, surpassing another NSW great in Brad Fittler.
For the man himself, he was just glad it was all over as it had been a week full of emotion.
"It's a bit like that feeling relieved as well as disappointed. There are so many thoughts running through my head. I feel pretty drained," Buderus said.
But he put aside his personal feelings to speak to the players once they returned to the sheds.
"I told them I was very proud of their effort. You get a special bond when you play with each other in a decider," Buderus said.
"I wished them all the best for next year and that I'd be cheering them on."
And to prove what Bellamy had said about the Newcastle stalwart and hooker, Buderus offered special mention to Craig Fitzgibbon, 31, who made a comeback to Origin ranks this season.
"I gave Fitzy a special mention because it could be his last Origin as well. I'm still so very proud of all of them."
His Newcastle team-mate Kurt Gidley said there was a long silence once the players returned to the sheds as they all felt for Buderus.
"We're all pretty disappointed we couldn't get the win for him," he said. "We felt in control for a fair period of the game. We were moving around the ruck pretty fast and our defence was strong."
But it was the brilliance of Israel Folau's two tries and Johnathan Thurston's dummy and inside pass to Billy Slater that undid the good work by NSW all week at training.
"We spoke about Israel Folau all week and his catching on the wing and how hard it is to defend. And then he does it anyway," Gidley said.
Anthony Quinn was the man who scored two tries in Game I but let two tries in to Folau down his side in Game III last night.
"I'm pretty gutted actually," Quinn said. "For me, I made a personal error which I don't think is acceptable and the second one was just Izzy being Izzy. He was just too good for me."
Another player in more physical pain than mental was prop Ben Cross. He was shoulder-charged by Petero Civoniceva in the opening minutes, dumped on his head by Nate Myles in the second half, and finally had to leave the ground with a medial ligament strain in his left knee.
He also re-broke the thumb that kept him out of Game II. But it was the knee that had his attention in the sheds.
As for his neck after the Myles tackle, he said: "It's still in the right spot."

feel so sorry for Buderus
 
DANNY Buderus cut a lonely figure last night after a spirited Queensland shattered his dream of a triumphant State of Origin farewell. As the Maroons celebrated a third successive series victory after winning a brutal Origin finale 16-10, shattered NSW players apologised to Buderus after falling heart-breakingly short of sending their courageous leader out a winner.
"They all came up to me and apologised after the game but I wanted to have none of that," Buderus said.
"Given the effort they put in throughout the series I couldn't be prouder. There was nothing between the two states at the end of the day, but the individual brilliance of JT (Johnathan Thurston) stole it."
Blues forward Willie Mason revealed he had shed a tear with Buderus and fellow veteran Craig Fitzgibbon after the game, knowing the trio - who were all there when NSW won three straight series titles in 2003-05 - would never play together again.

"I have played something like 20 Tests and 13 Origins with (Buderus), it was pretty emotional," Mason said. "We just wanted to send him out on a winning note. We knew if we were sitting here after winning it would be the best feeling ever.
"It's not embarrassing to lose but it's hard to take because now they can try and win four and nobody has ever done that."
The Maroons lost playmaker Scott Prince through injury in the 15th minute. But after one of the most intense, brutal and fascinating Origin games in years, Queensland secured their third successive series in front of 78,751 roaring fans at ANZ Stadium.
It was the first time the Maroons had won three successive series since Wally Lewis' all-conquering team in 1987-89.
Last night's game was spiteful and nasty with a brawl in each half.
Tough Queensland forward Nate Myles was late last night charged with a grade three dangerous throw on NSW prop Ben Cross early in the second half. He is facing a suspension of six to eight weeks, depending on whether he pleads guilty or fights the charge. The Roosters will review the case today.
Buderus - off to play with Leeds in the English Super League next year - painfully and slowly walked off ANZ Stadium after the defeat.
"I have some mixed emotions at the moment. I'm privileged and honoured to have pulled on this jumper," he said.
But with a gut-wrenching sigh, Buderus added: "It's my last game and we lost."
In a sombre NSW dressing room, Buderus rose and gave an emotional speech. He told his teammates: "I am so proud of you and what you did tonight."

Veteran forward Fitzgibbon admitted he had apologised to Buderus after fulltime.
"I said sorry to Danny on the field," Fitzgibbon said. "He is everyone's second best friend. I'm stoked that at least I got to play this game with him.
"He deserved to be a winner tonight.
"Over the past few years when things have been s... for me, Bedsy sent me texts and rang telling me to keep my head up."
NSW coach Craig Bellamy offered some consoling words for Buderus.
"I'm disappointed we couldn't do it for him. I don't want to embarrass him but Danny is one hell of a bloke and one hell of a footballer," Bellamy said.
"The guys in the dressing love him."
Buderus' great rival, Cameron Smith, accepted the Origin shield on the rostrum before praising Buderus.
"We have butted heads for a while but he has gone out on a great note," Smith said. "Good on you, mate."
Last night's match was everything we expect from Origin and the Blues were busted after the narrow defeat - losing the series despite winning game one.
"It's an empty feeling," Blues forward Paul Gallen said. "It's shattering.
"I don't know what to say. The last two games . . . nothing went our way."

Guess, they were forced into it, coz they had to get Danny back out there. But he shouldnt have been taken off from Fullback, he was having a blinder.

Falou's first try was a gift! The second, im not sure anyone could have stopped that.
 
Just a few thoughts..

Bellamy must be sacked
So gutted that Bedsy didn't go out a winner
Archer had a pretty decent game
Queensland showed more determination than us
F**k Queensland
Cam Smith is a f**kwit

He can't run either, he has a 'stumbling' style of running.
Two main assets of a winger are their ability to run and jump.

In saying that, he was good in game 1.
 
apart from his first mistake, there was nothing wrong with Quinns performance IMO. he was very strong out of dummy half and has really formed a good combo with Cooper. Im pretty sure the only time Queensland scored tries down that side were off kicks, and thats in all three games. I can recall at least 5. Work on their kick defence and they wuld be great
 
Gidley played soo good, lets hope he backs up for us that good against the dragons!
Smiths a F**kwit who doesnt have feelings for anyone, i hope he goes out loosing.
He has no respect at all.
Israel Falou's tries where awesome.
Bedsy played good as usuall & NSW deserved to win just for him!
