Is this blatent cheating? If so could this be the end of state of origin? Even the Queensland coach said it was a try, with a smirk on his face. I am puzzled.

The video refs watched it a dozen times from every different angle. They know the rules better than all the armchair experts, and their ruling was that the ball was kicked out of his hands by Farah, so play on.
We would have won by 2 anyway. Oh, wait. Blues supporters will predict the future and say it would have ended differently had the try not been allowed...
Worst game ever? Doubt it. Plenty of breaks, was close still with 10mins or so to go. Wasn't the best game I've seen, but was pretty good nonetheless.
My only disappointment was that Brent Tate should have got Man of Match. He was attacking, defending, putting in 100% for the full 80mins. Making breaks, had a blinder I reckon.
