Controversey over dodgy penalty given to QLD by Matt Cecchin for high shot on Hodges by Creagh in last minute of the game, 15 out and directly in front. Hodges makes throat slitting gesture to NSW players. Replays show contact on the shoulder and Hodges has milked it. Thurston kicks the winning penalty.
Mal cries at the presser and says this was one of the most courageous wins he has ever seen, against all odds, as Queensland players couldn't get the quality of fruit at the hotel buffet on the morning of the game which "really upset their preparation".
Ricky cries at the presser and says his players "are built for Origin" and they are "building something special here".
Victorian fans go home wondering why more shots at goal weren't taken when the field is so small.
The Daily Telegraph runs headline "Blue Murder: Ricky's Boys Robbed by Ref Howler" with editorial by Rothfield citing an article he wrote in 1964 that accurately predicted this very refereeing blunder by Matt Cecchin would cost NSW Game 1 of Origin 2012, despite the fact that Cecchin was 11 years awy from being born at the time.
The Courier Mail runs headline "QUEENSLANDER!" and dribbles something about NSW cheating and how Creagh should go for 12 weeks for his "vicious assault on Hodges".

And then we regroup for game 2
