It might have been Queensland hooker Cameron Smith who celebrated vicotry on Wednesday night, but Blues counterpart Robbie Farah showed his work rate was up to Origin standard, toping the points table in Toyota Origin Dream Team. The New South Wales hooker scored a valuable 60 Dream Team points, clearly beating his more faniced opponent who was selected in almost 24,000 teams compared to the just over 3,000 Dream Team coaches who selected Farah.
NSW captain Paul Gallen also didn't dissapoint his coaches, with his 230 running metres pushing him to 55 points and second place on the Toyota Origin Dream Team points table.
NSW reserve forward Tony Williams also showed why he was chosen despite not playing for seven weeks as he made an amzing 10 tackle busts from just seven hit ups. Williams will certainly be popular with regular Dream Team coaches once he returns to the paddock for the Sea Eagles.
The top coach for Game One of Toyota Origin Dream Team was Jamie and his team 'The Big Bad Wolves' scoring a very decent 477 points (out of a possible 491). However, just like Origin, winning the series opener doesn't give you bragging rights. The highest scoring coach at the end of the three-game series will take home a cool $3,000.
