The Ref gave Qld every chance and let all their cheap shots go. Jessica Sergis unable to return after a crusher tackle put her out of the game. Abbi Church got hit in the head blatantly nearly every tackle.
I want to say the NSW back row are incredible but then I'd be downplaying Taufa, Togatuki, Johnston, Keely Davis and Kennedy Cherrington.
However, last night belonged to Olivia Kernick. Saved the try and then saw the video Ref slap her in the face and award Qld the try. In a display that transcended gender, she then lifted herself like a Tigress protecting its young, to torment and destroy Qld and eventually be rewarded with 2 tries for the night. Both forged from grit and determination.
Its a pity Sergis was taken out, the scoreline would have been higher. The Amazonian backline of Kelly, Sergis and Chapman, with their sculptured thighs and boom boom buttocks are simply world class. I hadn't heard of Fressard but every time the spotlight comes in her direction, she performs.
The only Qlder who can hold her head up is Julia Robinson, who again put in a NSW like performance.
The Qld spine again demonstrated that you can't perform in those positions unless your forwards give you the go forward. Game 3: NSW by 50
