POOR Queensland, they lose one game and demand an entire overhaul of rugby league.
In a worrying indictment on Fourex beer's affect on the brain, Maroons officials were last night demanding mass changes to the judiciary process after NSW playmaker Josh Reynolds was freed to play Origin II in Sydney.
Speaking with The Daily Telegraph, Queensland Rugby League boss Peter Betros revealed he was "very disappointed" that Reynolds' lifting tackle on Brent Tate — which cartwheeled the Maroon — was downgraded from grade two to one.

"I would hate to think there is one set of rules for Origin and one for everything else," Betros said.
And after that ... well, to be honest we stopped listening.
After eight years dominating all things Origin, it has taken just 80 minutes for the Bananabenders to be transformed into a whingeing, whining, whimpering mess.
Truly, think Mal Meninga with maroon snot bubbles.
According to our sister publication, The Courier Mail, the Reynolds decision was a "shocking failure" by the NRL and has not only "outraged every level of the code" but ensured "change to the game's judiciary process".

And then, we assume, they cracked another beer.
Elsewhere, suspended Blue Greg Bird said, like everyone south of the Tweed, he was a little surprised by Tate's comments about never having been more frightened in his life.
"I thought it was a bit disappointing," Bird said. "I thought the words that were spoken after the game were a little bit out of line — but oh well, each to their own."
Not content to simply concentrate on, say, winning the series, QRL officialdom is now calling for Origin's judiciary system to be overhauled.

Maroons officials contacted the NRL yesterday morning to express their frustration and will argue for new judiciary protocols to include a lengthier sentencing period. In the space of 22 hours, Reynolds was charged, he then appealed and won at the judiciary.
The Cowboys have also filed a formal complaint about the decision involving Tate.
"The player was issued with a grading immediately after the game,'' Betros said. "The player appealed the next day.
"I feel the whole process appears rushed. When a process is rushed the possibility for error is too great." On judiciary consistency, he said: "It should be consistent through NRL, Origin and Tests.

"I'm confused as to how the charge was downgraded ... a lay person watching must be extremely confused as to what constitutes a grading. There is a different process for Origin games."
Dangerous throw charges have skyrocketed from 10 in 2012 to 17 already this season. Yet the judiciary has wiped 10 weeks from the suspensions of South Sydney hooker Apisai Koroisau, Bird and Reynolds.
