Congrats to Cam, Billy and Coop on achieving another SOO series win. 8 in a row - What a dynasty.

Special congrats to Cam on receiving the Wally Lewis medal. He's as good as biased, one-eyed Storm fans say... and then some. Just a champion.

Commiserations to Hoffy who was one of NSW best in the loss.

Brent Tate tonight. Matt Scott couldn't have been too far behind. he was enormous and did all the hard work when NSW were fresh.

Cam got Player of the Series. Game high 51 tackles tonight (and most all Series).

Tate, seriously????? He caused the pressure that Qld was under for half the game with his errors.

Also news that GI could miss up to 8 weeks with a knee injury. As long as he's out for 3 weeks time, that will be handy.

Hmm ? motm for me was Watmough - Never seen anyone work so hard to milk penalties in tackles,though Bird came close with his 'look - a streaker & security on the field - I'll stumble over them' ::)

Best team won on the day & in HOSTILE territory :twisted:

I thought the performance of the night was the referees acting job in justifying some of those penalties (the one where one of the blues - Watmough? - was standing fighting to free the arm for an offload right on the goal line and somehow won a penalty for a strip was very interesting).

NSW received 3 penalties for dropped balls in playing the ball... Shayne "Look at me" Hayne doing his absolute best to felate the entire State of NSW in front of a few million people.

The same might be said of Storm - They are both going to need SERIOUS development systems in place :evil:

it was hoffy that fell over the streaker! he didn't need to, he could have just stood next to them pointing (and laughing) and the play would have been called dead. but i dont like the rule that qld got 6 more tackles even though they were on tackle 5 at the time...

i have no worries about storms time after the big 3 retire, as long as we can keep the young kids we have coming through. we have superstars in the waiting. just have to hide them from the opposition for the next few years.

but qlds time is coming to a end soon, only won the last 2 series by a combined 3 points and nsw have better players coming through
