State of Origin 2011

**Bazz27** · 05-25-11, 01:23 AM

Just keep on giving me that Lockyer/Thurston combo anyday til I finally do see a different result - until then I'm staying with them..

**brettels** · 05-25-11, 01:51 AM

very confident in queensland!! Lockyer incentive plus young nsw side. experience will over rule tonight

**peterw111** · 05-25-11, 02:26 AM

NSW line has got out to +6.5pts..... Sports Agencies looking to even up there books after early market betting was all Qld...

Flood of money coming in on NSW +6.5pts all day...From $1.91 into $1.80.... Doesn't mean the start will help them, but NSW backers would appreciate the extra point beyond a converted try....

ONE TO THINK ABOUT

!st Scoring play.....NSW Penalty goal @ $6.00.... Definite hope here as NSW would like early points and if given the chance J.Soward will glady kick them over... He does it for St George and I feel that R.Stuart will lend the same instructions.....

**Bazz27** · 05-25-11, 02:35 AM

May be a play as saints also luv the early 2pts if on offer - c/bet has pen goal @9

**dRavidC** · 05-25-11, 02:42 AM

most of the money is on NSW 1-12 followed by QLD 13+

**kingsr** · 05-25-11, 03:11 AM

Smart money is QLD -5.5. Good luck to NSW backers! These are the times where i wish I was your bookie!

**rjc** · 05-25-11, 03:32 AM

Good luck tonight gents, and may the best state win!

**kingsr** · 05-25-11, 03:44 AM

There’s a reason the Maroons have won five in a row, and there’s a reason they supplied 10 of the 13 starting players for Australia in the recent VB Test. Four of those reasons are named Slater, Lockyer, Thurston and Smith, who fill the crucial 1-6-7-9 roles that make up the spine of a football side!

Nuff said! You can put any players in a team with these 4 crucial positions and they'll win!

Slow down mate...I'm just making a case as to why QLD will win. I'm a nsw supporter but my cash is on QLD!

**Bazz27** · 05-25-11, 04:45 AM

dont forget cronk, he may be the x factor

**rjc** · 05-25-11, 04:46 AM

A nice 100k bet on QLD was just plonked on at SportingBet. And a 50k both just for the win.

iPhone app for sportingbet it has a big bets section.

**rjc** · 05-25-11, 05:22 AM

This will get nasty!

**rjc** · 05-25-11, 06:03 AM

Or not.

**dRavidC** · 05-25-11, 06:08 AM

i think Queensland will run away from this.

Queensland are looking very dangerous and with a few tweaks in their attack they could easily run away with this.

**kingsr** · 05-25-11, 06:09 AM

QLD will be hard to run down in the 2nd half. They are 29/5 when leading from the front...Good frontrunners!

**kingsr** · 05-25-11, 06:27 AM

Gasnier is officially BOYD'S BITCH!

**rjc** · 05-25-11, 07:01 AM

I guess QLD -5.5 wasn't the play , bugger!

**WillC** · 05-25-11, 07:05 AM

wow what a finish. I was shitting myself for a couple of minutes.
Thurston Lockyer Slater combo

**Beniphone** · 05-25-11, 07:25 AM

Mean game, as the final tackle happens I thought wtf, a game with no fight then it all broke out lol

Bring on game 2!

**rjc** · 05-25-11, 07:32 AM

Who got man of the match?

**kingsr** · 05-25-11, 07:40 AM

Cam Smith got MOM, but for me MOM was Matt SCOTT!

On another note, I think NSW could go on to win this series, they suprised me with how composed they stayed and their goal line defence was spectacular! I think I'll be on NSW for game 2 for sure and possibly a little on series win!

**jgan025** · 05-25-11, 07:51 AM

frick, Thurston missing that penalty cost me dearly. I had QLD -5.5 and they won by 4... ugh
QLD still won though, there was no doubt about it (although relied on Slater try)... score should have been bigger than what is was, but NSW played some staunch defence.

Good stuff boys, until Game 2... chow

**hawley** · 05-25-11, 03:45 PM

Spewin our local over here doesn't offer MOTM, I told the guys I was watching with he was getting it before kick-off but I couldn't get on it

Need to get an australian account.

Matt Scott should of been MOTM however

**Gee** · 05-25-11, 06:44 PM

wow.

i forgot to bet this game

glad i did too, as i'm sure whatever i picked was going to be wrong

**brad89** · 06-04-11, 09:48 PM

I hope the rumours for NSW aren't true...

Idris to replace Jennings (has scans on Monday so might not risk selecting him again)
Hayne for Morris (would be fit for the game apparently but didn't play this week)
Lewis AND Gidley on the bench, Snowden dropped for not being 100%. Mannah starts with King (**** him off...) with only one prop on the bench which I assume means Creagh keeps his spot (sigh)

The other option they are thinking of is Scott into the centres. That could open up a starting spot for Watmough to start (leaving only 1 prop on the bench) but I'd rather him start with a prop taking Creagh's bench spot.

I'd rather a 75% Snowden over a 100% King, which he isn't either.......

We are screwed.

Edit - Too make it even better, Dugan has gone off in the 1st half of the raiders game

**brad89** · 06-05-11, 02:10 AM

1. Josh Dugan (Raiders)
2. Jarryd Hayne (Eels)
3. Mark Gasnier (Dragons)
4. William Hopoate (Sea Eagles)
5. Akuila Uate (Knights)
6. Jamie Soward (Dragons)
7. Mitchell Pearce (Roosters)
8. Paul Gallen (c, Sharks)
9. Michael Ennis (Bulldogs)
10. Tim Mannah (Eels)
11. Beau Scott (Dragons)
12. Ben Creagh (Dragons)
13. Greg Bird (Titans)

Interchange:
Trent Merrin (Dragons)
Luke Lewis (Panthers)
Kurt Gidley (Knights)
Anthony Watmough (Sea Eagles)

Can't see Dugan playing so will have to wait and see what they do there.

**Dr.Gonzo** · 06-07-11, 04:41 AM

Minichiello

Ricky has lost his mind...

**Beniphone** · 06-07-11, 05:33 AM

Exactly, WTF? So what if he's played state before, such a key position to be given away like that

**kingsr** · 06-07-11, 10:47 AM

Guys pleeeease look at the QLD team! No TEAM IN THE WORLD CAN BEAT THEM!!!

This is not a JOKE*
