..........What more can be said.............
o donell will be out for a couple for the tackle, but nothing for the headbutt as the nrl says its fine, and it has already set a precedent for that.

Hey NSW maybe you should try sticking with a teamEveryone will be calling for blood after this one, but remember QLD were staring down the barrell of 4 in a row when this unprecedented, history making, not to be seen for a long time, run started, difference being that most queenslanders stood behind them! And also everyone knows qld has always produced the hardest footballers
Gallen is a dirty ba$tard (like Elias Sirronen Geyer before him damn the list goes on!), and ODonnell should have been sent off!
Tough play is all well and good, but spearing a persons head into the ground is not cool! Thats how people end up with broken freaking necks! IDIOT!
I think the major difference honestly is that the Queensland selectors pick a team to play and the NSW selectors pick 17 players.
I mean honestly, having the captain start from the bench and when he comes on, he is out of position (rake) and they take off an 80 minute player who is a specialist in that position. The only way NSW will start to win consistent games at origin is to pick a core few players and stick with them. Core players would be, IMHO, the 6, 7, 9, 1 and a couple of props.
QLD had a team out there last night but NSW had 17 individuals playing in the same strip.
Woo hoo queenslander
popthetart mentioned that its time to change the coach...........really I don't think the coach is the problem, Bellamy, who starred last night in 'Underbellamy, the tale of only 6 points' is an outstanding coach, one of the best in the NRL....he has to work with what the selectors give him. Look Mal Meninga is not a professional coach but what he brings to the table is experience, history, pride in the state and its jumper and a belief that they have the best team.
