One of the most frenetic Origin halves in memory and that’s saying something. Queensland have made an extra 37 tackles and it showed towards the back end of that half, with only two fit men on the bench it will take an absolutely Herculean effort for them to come back from here.
They found fortune swinging wide when the Blues went after their big men, they’ll need plenty from their outside backs from here out but their right edge does look particularly dangerous. Kurt Capewell has found space a couple of times targeting Burton. For the Blues, Koroisau and Tedesco are thriving around the ruck. The platform’s been laid by Paulo and Saifiti and Tedesco especially is getting in there more and more.
Damien Cook looms as a lethal option for Fittler if Queensland continue to tire. Nathan Cleary’s kicking game warming up, he’s had a couple of fantastic nudges and hasn’t been afraid to take the line on either. All in all, fantastic game.
