Origin eve. Teams are in Townsville (poor bastards). Every hotel room in the city is booked, some at outrageous prices. 27,000 seats are sold. 900 gigalitres of bundy has been brought in. it's go time.
standard pre-origin shit. Qld have injury and illness problems and are giving players to the last minute (yeah right). NSW are settled and sorted. One change is it's the Blues justifiably feeling like they have been stitched up, having the game moved from Melbourne to the middle of nowhere in Qld.
DCE calls for a gentlemans agreement not to milk for penalties. Everyone smiles and says "yeah Daly, great idea" while also practicing their best grimaces and chin rubs.
Laurie Daly hates it, and wants teams to go hard at each other, completely ignoring the last month of football, and all the directives that this game will be officiated the same. I for one cannot wait for the first forward to go hard at someone, slip off the ball and glance off the chin, and get sent for 10. I will also laugh my tits off if the promo pre-game is a montage of massive hits and fights, two things you are guaranteed not to see tomorrow night.
it will come as no surprise to hear that i miss violent Origin. I miss the big shots, the traditional feeling out period, and the fights. I know those days are gone for good, and i guess for the better too (i guess). But it was a lot of fun to watch. Shit there isn't even any decent banter before the game any more. It's becoming just another game of league.
jeez perhaps you can fill the grumpy old man thread :)... I hate Gallen but he was right about one thing...
Ironic considering Gallen was the most inbred looking prick to ever play origin.
Come on now, Have you ever seen Sam Thaiday or Gordon Tallis ?
Actually I’d better tread carefully, that might be considered offensive and I might get cancelled like Ollie Robinson.
The Veronicas look nice.
Gallen makes them look like models.
God the prematch is absolutely crap. What fooking shit.
true ...but no one watches it..everyone is pre-loading

Latrell has been doing a Weepu. Bloody hell. Some Sydney bakery took a pounding.

Nic names like Fatrell are hard to shake

Good crowd noise stadium looks awesome

@mariner4life you there old boy?
-
-
This game is ridiculous. It's being played at touch footy speed and touch footy aggression because players are scared of the bin.
-
I know these boys are fit these days but the pace if this game will result in some large defensive holes later on.
-
There's our first ignored head hi8thst would have been a penalty on the weekend
-
What?!!! Bull fucking shit.
-
Fucking travesty
-
Big price to pay for having a stupid winger.

No way that should have been a penalty
-
But the big thing is why in the hell have Qld picked a 2nd rower to play centre and mark Tommy Turbo???
-
Cleary has a terrible acne problem. Roids?

The outrage. The complete and utter outrage was plastered across Gould's face. "How dare I be made to walk on this fucking second rate farmers paddock in bumfuck nowhere! AND I don't get to regale the viewers at home with my usual wit and fantastic insights into which moments are origin moments and which ones are not?? Fuck this and fuck you QLD" he said before downing his customary 8 hotdogs, 2 pies, 3 chips and 6 beers just off camera.
Good fucking riddance.
Grenat start from both teams and an absolute nothing penalty to give NSW supporters and early hard-on.
To'o the world's fastest brick has just claimed a victim. QLD mean while can't bust a grape and have been on the receiving end of high shots and dubious penalties.
Qld by 10
-
@rancid-schnitzel roids acne is more usually on the body rather than the face. He's just a young guy.
-
Qld would've scored if they knew how to draw and pass.

Just checking FB and it’s not full of the usual self indulgent bullshit of kiwis who’ve never set foot in Sydney, Newcastle, Townsville, or Brisbane changing their profile pics and saying “Carn the Reds” or that they “Bleed Blue”…..
Is Origin ceasing to be relevant these days ?
