Whatever you think of the refs, that was about the best game of League I have ever seen.
It is absolutely brutal, with the tackling just ferocious. Thought the Cockies were cooked about 10 minutes to go, but they showed so much heart and guts.
Has the points system in NRL changed, so that it's not 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw? Some sort of bonus points?
No, why is that?
The ladder looks all funny with teams with 14 points from 6 wins. Hardly anyone's got 2 x wins as their points....on the version of the ladder I saw anyway...on League Live.

Do they get points for a bye?
Do they have byes any more? They have weeks off but you need uneven number of teams for a bye that warrants points.
It might explain it though...I wouldn't see any sense in it though.
I'm betting the refs made a pretty penny getting NSW that win, wonder how much it took.
If you look back through the past eight years, QLD have well and truly had it their way. Had a far better side sure, but also been on the end of some very generous calls. Game 1 they did everything they could to get QLD over the line, they just weren't good enough.
I think this is the first year that NSW have had a better side, certainly had a better forward pack which is where Origin is won.
