All smiles, Queensland were, all week. Melbourne, southernmost suburb of Brisbane, was beautifully grey one day, perfectly chilled the next.
Slater, meanwhile, was confident enough six minutes into the match to enjoy a scheduled chat with his mates in the commentary box. Mitchell Moses had just merged Liam Martin through some sleepy Queensland traffic and the Blues were six points up.His team were “not into the cycle” of the match yet, Slater said.Soon they were. The cycle involved a lot of standing by their goalposts watching Zac Lomax potting another conversion. By half-time, they had repeated the cycle six times. They were done.
In the middle, Payne Haas and Cameron Murray were running amok, if amok means dead straight with Maroons defenders stuck to them like clods of mud. On each side of the field, NSW had an admirable Crichton. Angus on the left was having the match of his life, while Stephen on the right was all smart choices, including the drag-tackle that put Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow into the in-goal area and temporarily out of the contest. Unlike game one, it was a smart and legitimate way to extinguish a threat.
Running the ball back, Dylan Edwards always seemed to beat the first tackler, as he does for Penrith.
