Game 2 never threatened to end in a first NSW Brisbane win since Queensland notched a lead after 17 minutes with tries from Sam Thaiday and Darius Boyd. A stunning Johnathan Thurston cut-out pass found its way to the chest of Boyd, who delivered his second try of the game with 48 minutes on the clock. As reported on Yahoo! Queensland full-back Billy Slater appeared to elbow NSW halfback Mitchell Pearce after 53 minutes but tempers simmered for another sixty seconds.

The Maroons were obviously ready to rile their opponents, and after 54 minutes, winger Brent Tate pushed Gallen after the NSW captain tackled Thurston. NSW forward Trent Merrin took exception to the foul and jabbed Tate in the face, sparking a ruckus that ended with Tate and Hodges being sinbinned, while Merrin and Greg Bird were sent off for the visitors.

He was awarded the try despite NSW players claiming there was an obstruction. NSW coach Laurie Daley went to his bench to turn the tide. Anthony Watmough pictured was instrumental as the Blues began to dominate possession and field position. Andrew Fifita was another bench player who helped the Blues gain the ascendancy in the second part of the opening half.

The Blues were rewarded for their dominance when James McManus showed his try-scoring nous to beat Billy Slater and cross in the 27th minute. The Blues had opportunities to score again just before halftime but a number of handling errors would cost them. Josh Dugan is manhandled by Queensland five-eighth Thurston. Even Manchester United's stars were in attendance to watch the ANZ's extravaganza, as was told by their official Twitter account:. With just four points now separating the pair, things would worsen for the Blues in the second half.

Although NSW had taken a grip on the fixture, their morale was dealt a further blow when centre Justin Hodges crashed over from close range with just 20 minutes left, putting Queensland up in the process. Eventually, though, the Maroons would finish on top of the game and were unfortunate not to add a fifth try to the match, as they interrupted by a nude supporter running onto the pitch, per The Telegraph Warning: Images of nudity may be offensive to some.
