Time to write off some teams

Origin Wrap
This Queensland side is probably the best Origin team I will ever see. I was in Sydney last night to complete my own Origin Trifecta this year and was very proud of the boys yet again. The Blues threw absolutely everything they had at us, especially in the second half, and Queensland still won.
I have to give a special mention to firstly Billy Slater whose try saver won us the match. He has become such an outstanding footballer and I’m glad he wears Maroon.
Israel Folau, who has seemed to relish his new found ‘villain’ persona in Sydney, is playing very well and we will miss him in our game. I’m proud to still have him in my side for the rest of the season. Likewise skipper Darren Lockyer who just amazes me every match. He is the best player I have ever seen.
Finally, Sam Thaiday has really come of age this year and I think it began in the brawl that ended last year’s series. He is a senior player and sticks up for his mates as we saw last night when noted rough-houser Greg Bird tried to hassle the usually milder Folau and Willie Tonga. Slamming Sam can be in my team any day.

I got no idea what goes on the Blues camp but it certainly ain't football training so I'll take your word for it.

Could you give it to anyone else while keeping a straight face?

TLL got player of the last game so I doubt it.
Regarding Slater, if he was playing for NSW everyone here would be lining up to fondle his nads. He's a great player and a great athlete and I can't understand how people hate him so much. I think it all comes down to jealousy.

SPOTLIGHT ON IDRIS'S DUMPING
NSW's discarding of Jamal Idris should be examined further when Brian Canavan conducts his review. Here was a kid Andrew Johns labelled as a player the Blues could build a future around before the first State of Origin game - and then was not good enough to be in the squad for games two and three.

Warren Ryan: Finally something to cheer about: State of Origin finale delivers much-needed battle

BEFORE Origin 2010 is fully consigned to history, just a few thoughts from this column.
Although beaten 3-0, NSW finally produced a game worthy of Origin.
That requirement had reached the critical stage.
Had it been a decider, it would rightfully take its place alongside the great Origin battles. The fact that Queensland had already wrapped up the series denies it that privilege to some degree, yet the determination of Queensland to win from a seemingly impossible position to achieve a clean sweep affords it its own special place.
The vision of a wall of maroon jerseys grimly defending their goal line as the second-half possession flowed relentlessly against them will live long in the memory. The statistics tell the story of a win against mountainous odds.
When NSW lock Greg Bird went over for the try that put NSW in front, it was NSW's 17th completed set.
At that stage, Queensland had only completed seven.
Both sides had made two errors, which means possessions stood at NSW 19, Queensland 9.
With the fuel gauge reading empty, a fightback bordered on the impossible. Why the imbalance? Well, NSW at that stage had three penalties to nil and subsequently trapped Queensland for two line drop-outs. At various stages, there were three calls of "six to go" and there was the return kick-off from Kurt Gidley's try.
A total of nine additional possessions.
When Michael Ennis blew a fuse at Nate Myles, Queensland got their one and only penalty for the half, which was all Darren Lockyer needed to give Billy Slater a fighting chance to find the try line. Queensland took back the lead 19-18. It was Queensland's eighth completion. Big Mal's troops had won on a starvation diet of ball. A truly remarkable performance.
To say the Willie Tonga try in the dying moments was the icing on the cake is a bit wide of the mark. There was no cake. To find the will and the way to win after such prolonged and exhausting goal-line defence was the stuff of Origin folklore.
