I am a QLD supporter, was it just me, or did NSW seem more interested in putting a hand or elbow in the face when tackling???

The first people to be dropped should be the selectors. Really, some of the selections have been a joke. It’s no good picking players who are supposedly going to shut down the opposition players. You’re just not going to stop a bloke like GI no matter who you put against him.

You have to pick blokes that are going to run with them. The best way to put them away is to put one on them.

oh yeah. the tension was pretty good! loved them fights and angry faces hahaa

 

It’s funny, everyone’s opinion on State of Origin is based on where they’re from.

If you live in Queensland, it’s fantastic, the highlight of your year. You consider it the epitome of sporting acheivements.
If you live in NSW, it’s a chance to hope that next year, you may not suck so much.
If you live in Victoria, it’s a fantastic spectacle, because it’s like a draft camp. You get to see next years AFL rookies strut their stuff.

not a bad line up i think if hayne isnt at fullback maybe he should play centre, that way he can still use his ball skills to put the winger away
