The Queensland Maroons are currently up 6–0 over the NSW Blues in the second half of the Women's State of Origin game one in Newcastle.

Did the NRL forgo Thursday night football for this to be the highlight of the evening? Thursdays are better than Mondays I think. Society has become tired and the hill to climb on a Monday is bigger than the light at the end of the tunnel of Thursdays.

I’d say so. Origin is typically higher on the list than NRL games (even the grand final).
 
dam, surprising that many attend.....can't fathom watching it, you'd have to pay me :)
the nrl clout is strong and smart playing in newy that lacks games.
 
A few things I notice

1) QLD middle forwards have small meters, has this become less important? Or do QLD just lack meter eaters
2) Fifita is a center, is he good under the high ball?
3) Walker used to be bad at defense, his stats look good. Has he improved?
 


The final playing lists for State of Origin game 1 have been named. James Tedesco and Nathan Cleary start at fullback and halfback for New South Wales respectively, whilst Kalyn Ponga and Sam Walker assume those roles for Queensland. Cameron Munster leads the line for Queensland as captain, as does Isaah Yeo for New South Wales.

Hopefully Queensland get the job done in State of Origin game 1 but not sure why we've named Max Plath at lock instead of Patrick Carrigan especially given that he has no experience at representative level in addition to having less tackle breaks and running metres this season.

Serious lack of muscle in our pack

Hope slater knows what he is doing
 
Robert Toia scores the opening try in the 10th minute, which is converted successfully by Sam Walker to give Queensland a 6-0 lead early on.
