The official word on the Melbourne earthquake is that it was an aftershock from State of Origin 1.

That's what we haven't been doing - posting our tips!
Titans, Broncos, Cowboys, Panthers, Bulldogs, Sea Eagles, Tigers.
Bearing in mind the result of last time the Storm and Bulldogs met, the fact that the Bulldogs have improved since then, and Melbourne have unimproved (slightly) while also missing Billy, makes me confident that we can get the win up. I'm expecting a blockbuster of a game at any rate.

I'm not sure what effect that will have on the game. Both teams have quite a number of Qlders in their side. But not all Qlders are created equal. Mackay is tropical and therefore perennially warm. Most Qlders are from the South Eastern corner, which does have a bit of a temperature drop over winter.

I haven't lost hope in the Knights this year. It will be interesting to see if and when they do eventually click.

Kept them to 0 at half time. Melbourne had around 70% of possession in the second half but could still only cross the line once. It was seriously the most intense defensive effort I've ever seen.
And yeah, it's the axe that I never got for my DK :(

NSW squad for game 3: Greg Bird, Todd Carney, Ben Creagh, Robbie Farah, Paul Gallen (capt), Tim Grant, Jarryd Hayne, Michael Jennings, Luke Lewis, Trent Merrin, Brett Morris, Josh Morris, Mitchell Pearce, Beau Scott, Brett Stewart, Glenn Stewart, James Tamou, Anthony Watmough, Tony Williams.
Good to see they've swapped Aspilla Uate for Brett Morris, that'll be a nice combination on that right side with his brother. Get rid of Mitchell Pearce and Trent Merrin and you've got a fearsome side!
