Whenever the opposition win and play a superior game you congratulate them.
Queensland seemed to sleepwalk through the first half, and lacked composure at key times in the second half.
No particular weaknesses, but no compelling leadership.
The player with the largest question mark over them going in, Darius Boyd, scored both Queensland tries.
New South Wales showed some individual brilliance (Jarrod Hayne) but largely a consistent, disciplined team effort.
If you didn’t know better you’d think the team in the blue jerseys were the long-standing combination, not the maroons.
The halves combination finally delivered for NSW.
So, on to game two.
Well played New South Wales.
Well played.
