NSW skipper Paul Gallen on report after letting the fists fly at Queesland's Nate Myles PAUL Gallen finally had enough last night. Fed-up with losing - and with Queenslander Nate Myles. In a highly controversial moment, the NSW skipper snapped before halftime in last night's brutal State of Origin opener, belting Myles twice in the head. Most loved it, some hated it. Gallen though was making a stand. He - and his side - were sick of taking rubbish off Myles and the Maroons. Myles infuriated the Blues by leading with his head in a first-half tackle that floored Blues fullback Jarryd Hayne. Gallen claimed Myles had been "headbutting." The get-square was always coming. Gallen was later hit with a grade two striking charge. He was not punished for a swinging arm in the same tackle. If he pleads guilty, Gallen will miss one NRL game. "Nate Myles has been dominating Origin for the past three years - someone had to stand up to him," Gallen said. We have had enough of being bullied. That is a compliment to him. Blues coach Laurie Daley added: "It was one of the great Origin moments as far as I'm concerned." NSW took the first step toward ending Queensland's Origin dominance with a famous 14-6 win over the Maroons before 80,380 fans at a noisy ANZ Stadium. It was a triumph for Daley, in charge of his first game as NSW coach. Defeat will knock some arrogance out of this all-conquering Maroons side. What would State of Origin be without a brawl? QLD's Nate Myles and NSW captain Paul Gallen in a punch up. Last night's match boiled over on halftime when Gallen and Myles came to blows. The pair shaped up before Gallen landed two blows - a left and right - which both connected on Myles' chin. Players rushed in, the match reached flashpoint. As the two teams were separated, the drama appeared ready to boil-over again with a verbal altercation between Gallen and Maroons centre Greg Inglis. Angered at Myles, Gallen told referee Ashley Klein: "He is getting my knee and twisting it every time. He's been doing it series after series, headbutting and twisting. Picture: Costello Brett Replays showed Myles led with his head in the Hayne tackle in the 25th minute. Blues halfback Mitchell Pearce told Klein: "Leading with his head." Asked after the game did Gallen make a stand, Daley said: "One-hundred per cent. I wouldn't expect too much (action against Gallen). It was a tough, brutal game. I would be disappointed if anything came of it. Queensland coach Mal Meninga seemed unconcerned by the incident. Asked what action should be taken, Meninga said: "That is a decision for the adjudicators. We are comfortable with any decision. In a normal game he may have got 10 minutes in the sin-bin. There is no doubt Myles annoys NSW with his controversial tackling technique. North Queensland forward Tariq Sims tweeted: "Gal, that's passion right there!" Mark Geyer, the NSW legend, tweeted: 'It's not a club game boys ... it's Origin! Raiders winger Sandor Earl tweeted: "Yesss Gal." The sell-out crowd cheered when a replay on the big screen showed Gallen landing blows on Myles. Daley had no intention of resting Gallen after the incident. The Sharks legend led NSW straight back on to the field after halftime. Gallen remained fresh during the opening half by playing in two stints. Daley rested Gallen - usually an 80-minute player - after only 16 minutes.
