Sure did. It was the chap in the skull cap...Menzies. He had a blinder of a game as did Mason. Lockyer, although excellent in defence, was error-strewn in attack and by his standards had a poor game upfront. I'm a NSW fan and hope they go on to win the series. It'll be hard in Queensland though. Meninga was a little hasty ringing so many changes in the Queensland line up in my opinion. Seven playing together for the first time is a big ask. Time will tell.

How old is Menzies now i remember watching him when i was a nipper well young at least, he was awsome yesterday as was Mason he is one player who improves year in year out.
Fantastic game just a shame sky + turned up to upgrade my system with 20 mins to go, i could of cried (slight exageration).

He was only the 4th choice scrum half !!!!!!!!!1

NSW have a habit of winning it with a DG in the last min and GP you are being optimistic if you thought they would win it in xtra time.

I thought NSW were looking very tired and especially Steve Menzies who looked like he was going to faint

No wonder he was awsome a few of our guys should be using him as a an example of technique, brains and importantly desire he was ready for dropping in the last min.
Finch had an average game but stepped up when it counted well done the Blues.Awsome match even if i had to watch the last twenty mins during Boots and All.

And our lot are hell-bent on selling rugby league to France who are only good at the other code, selling onions and riding bikes whilst wearing strange hats and stripey t-shirts.

funny old world innit
