Good work Queensland, it was a great game. How good was Greg Inglis?, he was the difference between the sides and he's born and bred in NSW. The deal with Queensland is all about passion, the whole state gets on board the Maroon train and are obsessed with them beating the "Cockroaches" to the point that it's the only thing on their minds.
Unfortunately NSW fans don't take it as a do or die situation like Queenslanders do. The success of our sporting teams isn't the giant ego pump to our people as winning is to Queensland (and the Kiwis and their beloved All Blacks). I consider myself a pretty staunch fan of both Rugby codes but I don't fall into a quivering mess when my beloved Rabbitoes, Waratahs, Randwick Galloping Greens or NSW Blues lose a match. Sure there's a bit of disappointment but not to the extent of my Queensland and Kiwi mates when their respective teams go down. I reckon most NSW fans have the same attitude, it's not as important to us as it is to them. I didn't go to bed last night crying into my pyjama sleeves.
Having said that...If we keep the neucleus of that side for next year we'll be that little bit better. Remember, we only have to improve by two points.
