Is a bit wrong . But then the blues have that big kiwi prop Tamou running out for them and I can recall at least one Qld halfback from Ipswich and one Qld winger from Bundaberg donning the blues jersey in state of origin
But yea the eligibility rules are a bit dodgy
Actually, it's your first Rugby League club, not where you were born.
So...... All the song does is prove once again that QLD is better than anywhere else in every way as people from all over move here to live.
Take it from me, I was born in Victoria, I moved here when I was 9 and I am never going back.......
I do recall at time that Inglis made his allegiance with QLD that his own family were shocked by his decision - that says a lot.
So what you all as NSW supporters are really saying is that you'd really prefer the original State of Origin selection rules where the players were from the state that they played A-Grade in??
Do you think that would help you to win a game? You're digging deep for an excuse as to why you keep losing.
I guess it really stings eh? Never mind darlings, it will be OK.
Maybe just change the wording from State of Origin to State of first game or similar.....or just leave it as State of Origin and make it where you are born. Pretty simple really I would have thought
What next Qld..??.?
Western Sydney Izzy folau. Or maybe even NZ.. Karmichael hunt! Toni Carroll, brad thorn??. And the list goes on....
Stings ?yes. but i doubt i would get as much pleasure from a series win as 05 when the cowgirls were sent home by the tigers...
Exception... James Tamou, palmerston north is actually 20 k's north of Wagga...
Ken Nagas born and raised in Bundaberg , moved to the ACT to play first grade , plays for the blues ,
Craig Pollamounter played rugby through to under 18 s in Qld moves to the Bulldogs plays half for the Blues
Greg Inglis great Qld player where did he come from again ?
Bit hard to follow
^^^
I have it saved mate so it might reappear a few times, maybe half hour stints before laurie catches me. But this is going to **** anyway so may as well throw some fuel on the fire
Losing is one thing but winning with dignity is much harder to do
Yeah it was slightly full on. Sorry about that mate.. And the others.
he actually has a good rep down here, I think the days of hating people for just being from Qld are gone. seeing them in the club comp has ruined it . I still think Wally is a wanker
And i agree with the media thing... for every bad story you read, there is a whole lot of other blokes who are doing heaps and using there profile to help people but you don't hear about it cause good news doesn't make the daily News.
I reckon its mint that NSW & QLD have such farking passion about the Origin games - the GayFL used have this rivalry between WA & Vicco when we had them , geez they were ferocious games - the week leading up to each game brought out every mongrel feeling - even the papers fought aamongst themselves - farking great stuff I miss it , it's why I like league so much actually .... carn the Bears
You are spot on pup
AFL would love to have a Origin like NRL
and NRL would love to have crowds for weekend games like AFL.
The major problem was Teams didn't want their topline players getting injured in the Furnace of the origin games , so pressure was put on them to withdraw from the squads - which duly happened.
The AFL season is too long if you include the Pre-season format - reduce the number of games and make it compulsory for players to be made available if selected is the way to go.
