Triple M footy lives on, listener.
Thanks to McDonald's and Ream Hot Water. The Verdict. Triple M rocks State of Origin. Oh! Siren sounds. Queensland, first time here in 31 years that they've won. We've got a pitch invader as well. He's a big fat boy. He's not going to go too far. He's not going to get close to the players. One, two, three security guards have got him. He's got his phone out in front of him, this big fella. And now a four security comes in and almost dead set pulls his pants down. So that's an exciting moment to win this game. And he can say ta-da to a little bit of money.
How did Queensland break their Melbourne hoodoo in Origin 2?
But more importantly, Queensland win the game. A devastating win. It's one-all, but it feels like one team is miles on top of the other right now. Cobbo, a hat-trick. A sensational performance from Silwan Cobbo. Tabiwai Fido, Fafida, Collins, and Liero all scored for the Blues. Two to Noanganita Waze, one to Staggs, one to Barnett. That is how you apply Shane Webke. Total second half domination by Queensland. Absolutely. And built on the back of when they required it, a very disciplined performance. The start of the second half, as what I was talking about before, is where we pulled away. And it was on the back of an obvious, let's pin them in the corners and demoralise them. And that's what we did. They just dominated the energy out of that half-time break, didn't they?
They sort of... I don't know what was said at halftime, but you could tell they came out in the mood and they just beat New South Wales to the punch. And then once they grabbed a hold of that momentum and, again, went through their discipline, kept a hold of it, they just put New South Wales in the rearview mirror. What a second-half performance.
Sorry, dude.
We love this guy, Max Flath. He was wonderful. He's with you, Ben Dolan. Yeah, Shay Webby's been waxing lyrical about you, mate. Well done. You're an Origin winner now. You've won your first game of Origin. How was that at the MCG? Yeah, mate, that was unreal. Origin's such a tough game. It feels like it's two games of 80 minutes. No, I love that.
That was the best feeling. Just so glad to be around such great players, just doing my role.
What were the standout performances in the game?
Half-time, you were down by four, but it hadn't been your best half, and then you guys really turned up the heat in the second half. What a half of football by Queensland.
No, that's exactly right, Bob. We didn't play exactly how we wanted to in our first half. We just weren't completing as many sets as we did in the first half of the game at a cool stadium there. So just great to turn it around in our second half, just shows how much resilience we got.
What about Selwyn? Three tries, he was unbelievable tonight. So happy, just so honoured to just play with him week in and week out, just see his development as a player and as a person he's just excellent to be with. Webby, I know you're up there. You've got something to say. You talked about playing with his old man. You got anything to say to this bloke? Maxi, I want to pay you the ultimate compliment and say that you are now at least the equivalent footballer that your father was. Oh, thanks, mate. Good on you, mate.
How did Queensland dominate the second half?
Just need to win five comps. Yeah, that's it. Love you, mate. Good on you, mate. Well done. Go and enjoy it with your teammates, mate. Thanks, guys.
Cheers, mate.
I've said it before. He played a game on a Sunday afternoon, a bit of a nothing Sunday afternoon, and Gordie said that kid will play for Queensland one day. You all saw it. You all saw a quality... that has certainly bared fruit with his performance tonight. And he was good in game one as well. Jojo Fafita was, I'm looking at numbers here now. Yes, he was very good. Quietly very good. Quietly very good. Nowhere near man of the match, but did his job. Tabiwai Fido, you'd swear, nine runs, 91 murders. Geez, mustn't have done much. Oh, no. He was wonderful. He was instrumental. Even Rob Toy, you look at him, 10 runs, 72. Stats can only tell you one thing, their defence to shut down the NSW Centre is absolutely superb.
Can we just say, has he got the headphones on, Dobbo?
