Munster looks good at 5/8th.

Dont forget that Matt Scott and Greg Inglis did not play and should be available next year.

Some are blaming the Coach (Daley)

Its plain and simple QLD have had four, five or more high class Champion players at the elite level for the last decade while NSW have had to do with players, good at Club level only. Thats the difference, then throw in the Team spirit they(QLD) have built up as well with a decade of the Team being/playing together. Would not matter who was Coaching NSW. imo

Problem still for NSW is, I cant see any champion or high class halves coming through atm so I believe QLD can go another two, three years winning until Smith, Cronk, Slater retire. Who knows how long.

Once Smith, Cronk, Slater are gone with the now JT, then the teams level out but this QLD era wont be matched again and should be remembered for the absolute skill that we have been able to watch and enjoy.

A true Champion Team. Great for the great Game of ............Rugby League.

They(Champion Teams) only come along once in a blue moon, anyone remember the Great St George era from 1956 to 1966, 11 Premierships in a row.

This QLD team has matched them (Champion Team)........... at a higher level.!

Joey Johns is getting close with his suggestion that, "NSW just don't get SOO"!!

"They(Champion Teams) only come along once in a blue moon"
The Maroons current run is a "long blue moon".

I think this current Series shows the Maroons have a great depth of players to pick from.
They are making a transition into "tomorrows team", while showing loyalty to some of the retiring players.

I still believe the Maroons had 14 players on the field... 13 in body and JT in spirit!!
cheers
