Queensland produced a stunning effort to win State Of Origin II, but we have to talk about what on earth the Blues were doing in that game.
New South Wales had the game in hand, and they let it go.
How many times do they need to be told? If you give this Queensland side an inch they will take a mile.
Apparently the Blues decided that a Game I loss was like cutting Samson’s hair and Johnathan Thurston, Billy Slater, Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk were completely stripped of their class by the events of May 31.
Leading 16-6 at half-time, it looked like the Blues would run home, but not on a conveyor belt.
No, they needed to play the sort of game they played in the series opener — don’t let up when the foot’s on the throat, push down.
Instead, they got comfortable. Josh Dugan said as much.
