Epic game.

The 2 best teams in the world going at it. I was feeling tired by half time. I thought I'd be waking up with bruises the next morning.

Angus Crichton in beast mode again.

Bradman Best remarkable.

Dour game where the halves didn't really weave their usual magic. Leniu and Luai seem to frustrate DCE. Then Moses puts on an individual play to win the game. Like Cleary in the '23GF, something every kid dreams about. This time to win the SOO decider ... in Qld!

Mitch Barnett did some plays that justified perhaps a controversial selection. Good one Madge!

Tom Dearden excellent in a beaten side. To keep a team with Ponga, Walsh and the Hammer in it scoreless, underlines the magnitude of the NSW defensive effort.

While dour, probably one of the best games I've seen.

I'm not sure why Bradmen Best was left out of SOO1 but they will be begging him in future. They won't have to, he lives up to his name and eats occasions like this for breakfast.
