both good sides.

Boyd's selection was a bit of a surprise IMO but he definately deserves a shot. Good to see Hodges get six weeks too.

Imagine if New Zealand decided to play Great Britain in a League friendly during this week?  Our whole first grade would have just been Cronky and Boof.

Not sure who will play Full Back.  Maybe Foran, possilbly Faamausilli (sp?) from our Toyota Cup Squad? I think Matty Geyer has played in that position before but we need him at No 9.

And for those who didn't see the after match stuff (everyone outside of NSW and QLD), Inglis was named Man of the Match.

Tate annoyed me throughout the game. He played bloody hard. Usually it was easy to bag him on Origin games but this time he hardly did anything wrong, I couldn't bag him all night!! :x
