For the first time, the opening State of Origin match was played in Melbourne; and a new-look NSW team
put some early pressure on Queensland. An early penalty goal gave the Blues the lead, and a few minutes
later Jarryd Hayne put on a 50m run to place the ball down; but the video replay showed his run down the
sideline had his foot going into touch, and the try was disallowed.
Let off the hook, the defending Origin champions began to show their class, going over for three converted
tries in the first 15 minutes. Billy Slater was first to go over, diving on a chip kick from Cameron Smith just
millimetres from the dead ball line. Greg Inglis with a solo effort scored the next, before a run from Israel
Folou set up Johnathan Thurston.
NSW got a try back before the break, when Jarryd Hayne this time kept his feet inside the boundary line
before offloading to Ben Creagh. But just three minutes into the second half, Greg Inglis survived a
desperate diving tackle from Kurt Gidley to score and bring the lead out to 18 points.
Substitute Craig Wing finally had a run, and with just his second touch crossed the line; and an offload
from Robbie Farah set up Jarryd Hayne. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the score was back to 24-18 with still
plenty of time for NSW to steal an unlikely result.
But it wasn’t to be. NSW continued to press but there was no way through. And at the death, Greg Inglis set
up Darius Boyd and the game was safe. Queensland have a 1-0 lead and are in the box seat to pull off
their fourth straight Origin series win.

Olympic Park in recent years has been a graveyard for visiting teams, and the Storm’s reputation for
crushing home victories continued when they demolished Brisbane 48-4 on Friday night.
It took 10 minutes for the first score to came, and it came when Billy Slater ran 60 metres before setting up
Greg Inglis. A few minutes later, Brett White set up Joseph Tomane for the first of what would be a hat-trick
of tries for the night. Cooper Cronk and Will Chambers also crossed the line before the break, and the
Storm led 20-0 at half time.
The second half followed a similar pattern. Billy Slater capitalised on some loose defence to add another
try. Tomane’s second came just two minutes later, and it was a blowout. The Storm would end up with 9
tries for the night, while the Broncos managed only one which was scored by former Storm player Israel
Folau.
This was Melbourne’s night, a dominant performance; while the Broncos are in danger of falling out of the
top 4. Not only was the 2 points scored by Melbourne and not by Brisbane of importance as the finals race
unfolds, but the size of the result will also have a significant effect on the teams’ for and against.

Former Balmain great Keith Barnes was honoured when the remaining portion of the old wooden
grandstand behind the goals at Leichhardt Oval was renamed the Keith Barnes Stand. But a night of
celebration for the Tigers would come unstuck when Penrith spoiled the party with a comfortable 26-10
win to maintain the Panthers’ position in the top 8.
For much of the match, the contest was considerably closer. Both sides were struggling with their
goalkicking, but with two tries apiece the score was locked at 10-10 with 10 minutes to go. Taniela Tuiaki
opened the scoring, the weight of possession after two line drop outs finally reaping its reward. But some
lax defence put Paul Aiton over the line and gave the Panthers a 6-4 half time lead.
After lengthy deliberation early in the second half, Geoff Daniela was awarded a try to restore the lead to
the Tigers, but it was cancelled out by an offload by Luke Walsh setting up Brad Tighe.
For a tense 15 minutes the ball travelled from end to end, but neither side was able to break the deadlock.
But in the last 10 minutes, the Tigers ran out of steam and the Panthers capitalised, their three tries in the
final minutes causing the scores to blow out to a margin that flattered them compared to the majority of the
play, but was a fair reflection of their dominance in the final minutes when the game was there to be won.
Luke Walsh was magnificent, scoring twice within the final minutes of the game, while also contributing 2
goals for the Panthers’ cause.
The loss, the Tigers’ fifth in succession, sees them three games out of the top 8 and hopes of making the
playoffs this season are fast fading away. But the Panthers are looking good, and confidence is growing
that the club has a real shot at participating in finals this year for the first time in many seasons.

Defending champions Manly made a step towards getting their season back on track after a slow start
when the Sea Eagles defeated the Sydney Roosters 38-18 at Brookvale Oval on Saturday.
For much of the day the Roosters were competitive. Glenn Stewart opened the scoring, but Shaun Kenny-
Dowall showed plenty of speed to score in the corner; and when Craig Fitzgibbon made a break through
the Manly defences to set up Setamata Sa the Roosters held an 8-6 lead. But a converted try to Michael
Robertson with just seconds on the board before the break restored the Sea Eagles’ advantage.
After the restart, a grubber from Matt Orford set up Tony Williams, but Shaun Kenny-Dowall’s second try cut
the margin to 16-14 with 20 minutes to go. And for 10 scoreless minutes the ball travelled from end to end,
both sides seeking an opening to score but none were forthcoming. But finally Anthony Watmough broke
the deadlock, only for Ben Jones to reply just a minute later to keep the Roosters in the contest.
But the final minutes, when the game was there to be won, saw the Sea Eagles step up; while the
Roosters, who had fought hard, found nothing more to give. Late tries to Matai and Robertson saw the
scores blow out. The result sees the Sea Eagles stay within reach of the top 8, while the season from hell
continues for the Roosters, who are stuck at the lower reaches of the ladder.

North Queensland maintained their position in the top 8 when the Cowboys demolished South Sydney 46-
12 at Dairy Farmers Stadium.
The Cowboys got off to a flying start, with two tries in the first 8 minutes. A bouncing pass was picked up by
John Williams for the opener, and from the set of 6 after the conversion Ashley Graham was too strong for
the Souths defence and powered over the line for another try.
And so the tale of destruction continued. 22-6 at half time, and it remained one-way traffic in the second
half. The Cowboys dominated field possession, had a glut of possession, while constant unforced errors
made the night an absolute shocker for the Rabbitohs.
It finished 9 tries to 2, a 46-12 scoreline. Adding to the Cowboys’ already imposing for and against, and on
a 4-match winning streak, things are looking good for the Townsville side. But for the Rabbitohs, it was a
missed opportunity to return to the top 8; and a season that showed plenty of promise early is threatening
to slip away.

Cronulla climbed off the bottom of the ladder when the Sharks pulled off an 18-10 win over the New
Zealand Warriors at Shark Park in the early Sunday game.
The Sharks started well, crossing the Warriors’ line in the 7th minute. A 40-20 kick by Trent Barrett gave
the Sharks field position for an attacking raid, and Matthew Wright found an opening to go through and
score. On 20 minutes, Manu Vatuvei knocked on when attempting to diffuse a bomb, with Anthony Tupou
going in during the following set of 6. And on 28 minutes it became 18-0 after Nathan Stapleton crossed
the line.
Shortly before half time the Warriors were on the board, when Vatuvei found some space and received a
pinpoint pass from Stacey Jones. But with an 18-4 deficit at the break, the Warriors would have some work
to do in the second half. But a series of knock-ons, fumbles and unforced errors in the second half saw
the clock ticking by with the Warriors not making any impact on the board. In the dying minutes, Lewis
Brown crossed over and scored for the Warriors, but it was too little too late as the Warriors crashed to
their 5th loss on 6 games and, rapidly sliding down the ladder, will need a turnaround in their forms to get
back into finals contention. But for the Sharks, at least they find themselves off the bottom of the ladder;
and have a base to build on to salvage something from their dismal season to date.

Wins have been few and far between for Parramatta this season, but the Eels finally found something to
cheer about with a 20-18 away win over Newcastle on Sunday afternoon.
Newcastle opened the scoring on 10 minutes, when a chip from Kurt Gidley was chased with perfect
timing by Keith Lulia. But 8 minutes later the game was back on even terms after Joel Reddy fought off the
close attention of two Knights defenders to scramble over the line. Parramatta continued to press hard,
and were twice denied tries by the video ref for obstruction behind play; and the Knights regained the
upper hand shortly before the break after a 40-20 gave Newcastle field position to set up Junior Sau.
The second half was end to end, with neither side able to score for 15 minutes despite both sides
creating opportunity. But finally the Eels managed a breakthrough, when a kick by Jeff Robson bounced off
the Newcastle defenders back into Robson’s arms for the easiest of tries.
With 9 minutes to go, Parramatta edged in front with a penalty goal. And the game looked safe when
Daniel Mortimer found some room to move before a pass to Eels’ cult hero Fui Fui Moi Moi, who crashed
over for a try. But less than 2 minutes later, Jarred Mullen crossed over and it was a tense and tight last
few minutes as the Knights threw everything at Parramatta’s defence. But the Eels held firm for a valuable
win.

In the first two seasons of Gold Coast’s existence they have started the season promisingly but then fallen
away mid-season. But the Titans showed signs that the 2009 version may have what it takes to last the
distance and give the finals a shake after holding out a fast-finishing St George side to take a 28-24 win at
Skilled Park on Monday night.
Before the match, swine flu fears forced the Titans’ Ashley Harrison and St George’s Darius Boyd to
withdraw from the match. But once the game kicked off, it was Gold Coast who stormed out of the blocks,
running in four tries to none in the first half to lead 22-2 at the break.
But the Dragons weren’t finished yet, and weren’t going to lose top spot on the ladder without a fight. Two
tries in the first 10 minutes after the restart got them back into the contest, and the Dragons continued to
press. For set after set, tackle after tackle, drop out after drop out, the Dragons placed the Titans under
pressure, but the Gold Coast held firm.
And finally the tide turned, the Titans put on a run, got a penalty, and from the ensuing set of 6 Brad Meyers
crossed the line for his season try of the game. With 15 minutes to go, the Titans had much needed
breathing space. The Dragons continued to work hard, and scored twice in the final 10 minutes to cut the
margin back to 4 points and give the locals some nervous moments at the finish, but the Titans had
enough of a buffer to fall over the line.
