Well, a superb opening half hour there from the Queenslanders, absolutely pummelling the Blues who looked sluggish, uncharacteristically sloppy and easily dominated.

That period earned the Maroons three tries and a penalty goal, leaving the Blues fans stunned.

But then the tide turned.

A fortunate penalty and the Blues took full advantage and, with two chances in the Maroons red zone, came away with a try and came very close to nabbing a second.

It’s been a frenetic half of footy that’s for sure.
