This game could go either way, both teams displaying real attacking threat

It was an enjoyable game I thought. Vikings came out in the second half very disjointed, and Country looked like they would run away with the game, but Vikings really controlled the last 20 minutes to come back for the win.
I can't recall them coming back from significant deficits in previous years, so that was a nice change. They need to work on their line out, though. It was shaky the entire game.
I thought Banks and Hynes were the pick of the Vikings, and both sides saw some good performances.
Hopefully there will be a better crowd for the next game. What more could you want - entertaining game, $5 entry, and steak sangas.

Bemused by the comment above that the Vikings got a leg up from the ref. The QC (Quade Cooper) had the ball for the entire first 12 minutes on the back of some very soft and questionable penalties. And all game the QC (Quade Cooper) backs were just offside at the breakdown and though warned on a couple of occasions by the ref were not taken to task at all.
Other than that, it was a very enjoyable game with some exciting passages of play. The vikings backs looked quite lethal when they controlled the ball, and once they started to get parity in the scrum by three quarter time, they looked to be the better side and deserved their win. How good was that 20m rolling maul try? Would certainly have been a penalty try had they not made the tryline.
Ben Hyne MOTM for me, but Tom Banks also had a blinder. Qld must be sore that they let him slip through their fingers.
