Yet another thrilling game that will go down in Origin history. The New South Wales go down yet again to a dominant Queensland side. The score ended up being 12-16 but the NSW have a lot of positives that they can take out of the game last night. There many brave players in the Blues team including the new comers in Josh Dugan, Akuila Uate, Mark Gasnier and Jamie Soward.
At the start of the game Queensland were dominating the Blues by making easy meters. Being allowed to make meters the Queenslanders scored an early and easy try through a clever kick for Jonathan Thurston to score a early try. For the rest of the half the Blues looked like they could scored with good surges down the left side, Panthers centre Micheal Jennings created a lot of havoc down the Queensland right side.
Newcomer Akuila “The Thriller” Uate had a magnificent game, though making one mistake he made good breaks and meters for his side. He played with a lot of spark and could of made the difference? Another star for the Blues that now one really noticed was hardworking second rower Greg Bird, behind the scenes he worked really hard, put on some good hits, some good runs and got through the line to set up a comeback try.
The halves from NSW I think were a bit quite both needed to get into the game a little more. Jamie Soward should of used more of kicks to keep Queensland in there own half so that they could get better ball possession. I think that if Soward had run the ball a few times that would have also made a difference to the outcome. Another thing what would surely have made New South was when after they had scored that marvellous try (Micheal Jennings) it was only the fourth tackle and they wanted to hold onto the ball and make more meters up the field but instead hooker Micheal Ennis kicked the ball right to Darius Boyd giving him good field position with nobody chasing thus giving Queensland a chance to get back into the game.
Let’s face it New South could of won what was one magnificent game. So if they could do that imagine that they will do at Sydney!!!! COME ON BLUES

State Of Origin: Live Build Up 9:46 PM
Oh yeah babe it's almost 10:00 and you know what that means!!! STATE OF ORIGIN BEGINS!!! This year the teams look as evenly matched as they will ever be with star young gun Josh Dugan going up against the deadly Billy Slater. Also in the halves in form Dragon Jamie Soward is going up against experienced and the ledgendary Darren Lockyer. These battles are mouth watering and will surely make this game a terrific match!!!
This year people including me have been more interested in the New South Wales build up. NSW have chosen As many people say ''The game is won through the forwards" they are probably right, both forward packs have work horses and meter eaters. But I think that if the Blues want to win game 1 of the series they will need to have good impact off the bench. If you look at the Queensland side they have named quite a tough team. So if they want to wear out Queensland they need to have a lot of fire power coming off the bench. They will also need big games from the speedy looking backline. New comers in Akuila "The Thriller" Uate has been fantastic this season for his NRL club as is looking to put his name down as one of the form backs in Origin on the wing. Another advantage for NSW is that there are many St George Dragons in this NSW backline. Mark Gasnier will be very big in the New Souths hope for a victory. His experience in Origin should be a big boost for the rookies in the side. Jamie Sowards kicking game will also be a big factor in this NSW side, for the Dragons his kicks are absolutely spectacular, deep and in space, just what the coach wants!!! Queensland will surely be watching Soward go himself they all know that he is very quick off the mark.
This is the class of the decade, LET"S GO THE BLUES!!!!!!!!!!
Late mail: Dean Young starting, Ennis Moves to the bench. (Come On the Tigers!!!)

Immersion Topic Rotation: Mrs Nua
Just recently our teachers came up with a cool idea, to have a competition between classes, you gain points by..., well just being a good class!!! Unfortunately our class is at the bottom of the points table, and we are looking for ways to pick up on the points. We know the things that we are doing are not getting us far so we have some ideas. So far our class has only got 225 points.
We can score heaps of points in many different ways and we are positive that we can easily catch up to the rest of the classes. I recently scored our class some points by sitting up in assembly. That is an easy way to score points. I learnt that one of the easiest and biggest way to gain points is to enter the Lunch box heroes competition. If you win Lunch Box Heroes that is an easy 50 points for your class!!!
Another easy way to gain points is to sit down while eating at lunch time and interval, an easy 10 points everyday for your class. I could name about 20 more ways of getting points and it’s easy to back into contention for the big prize. Hopefully we will be able to pick on our listening skills and gain a lot more points!

Immersion Topic Rotation
For this term our theme is “Bigger, Better, Faster, Stronger”. In other words we are studying how technology has changed over the years. To help us out with what we have to learn, we have immersion classes. The first rotation activity our class did was “Creativity”. Ms Tito was the teacher for this activity so I was sure that this would be fun!
As part of our task we had to create a way of creating our name in anyway possible. The whole senior team could enter this competition and the prize would be to throw water balloons at your class, including the teacher!!! I looked around the classroom seeing many cool designs. I knew that this task was not going to be easy!
When I was thinking about some ideas I looked around the class room and saw people already starting! That showed me that I really needed to pick up before time ran out! I had an idea but it was quite complicated. In the end of the session I had just finished in time, I don’t think it was my best work that I have done but I just hope it would be good enough to be a contender at least.
At the end of the day I really enjoyed the activity and I would like to do it again!

Live Update:Anzac Test...........
Fulltime Update:The Kiwis errors made it to hard to gain victory, just being able to hold on in defence and then dropping the ball not giving them any chance to create any oppurtunities which lead to tries straight of the error!!! Try in the second half took away any chance of a Kiwi comeback. Injuries for both sides to Kiwi prop Sam Rapira who has broken his arm, likely to miss out on the Warriors game on Sunday against the Titans. For Australia star centre Greg Inglis went off the field with an injured leg, he did not return back into the game. FINAL SCORE 20-10 Australia. (Better Luck next Time Boys!!!)
Live Halftime Update:The Kiwis were very sloppy in the first half,conceding an early try from a miss calculation from fullback Lance Hohaia with the try going to Australian flyer:Billy Slater. The Kiwis were not looking like creating any opportunity in the first part of the half leading to errors causing a try to new comer Jharl Yow Yeh. The Kiwis were mostly stuck in their half for the whole half, luckily second rower Sam Thaiday dropped the ball to give the Kiwis a chance before the half ended. Luckily stronger Warrior busted through then giving rookie Matt Duffie his first try of his rep career.
Hopefully the Kiwis will be able to pick themselves up to scoop up yet another, but the Aussies are looking pretty sharp on defence. Can the Kiwis do it yet again????

The Kiwis: Can They Upset the Aussies Again???
The annual Anzac test is almost ready to get under way with the World Champions and the Four Nations champions, “The Kiwis” taking on a hungry Australian side. The Kiwis selection of players are more picked for defensive. I would also choose a defensive side with the Aussies choosing a very offensive team.
The Kiwis have chosen the likes of Simon Mannering, Sam Rapira and Ben Matulino all from the Warriors!!! The forwards for the Kiwis will be a big factor if the Kiwis want to win! Our forwards are one of the little ways that we can beat these very good Australians. We have chosen a variety of forwards, Sam Rapira, he is a very reliable forward who makes outstanding metres from his spectacular charges down the field. Fui Fui Moi Moi, he will also be another big factor in this Kiwi side. Stephan Kearny will surely use him properly as he can create big turning points for his side.
The Kiwis have also chosen a very fearsome back row. Jeremy Smith, Bronson Harrison and Adam Blair. All very well known players in the League world. But the one of the biggest factors would have to be have the current best player in the world playing in your team, Benji Marshall. He will be absolutely crucial to what will happen on the night. It’s a case of if he turns up on the night. I’m sure that he can lead our Kiwis to yet another victory. Let’s all support the boys as they bravely take on Australia in the Gold Coast. There playing this week on Friday. COME ON KIWIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Tigers Have A Buy this week!)
