RE: The NRL State of Origin ..Maroons v Blues

Ha ha ...  I'm certainly not uptight.   As you say it's just a game.  

In fact Miles did much more than that in his youth.  Have a look on the wikipedia link that I posted earlier.   Of course that sort of behaviour is not limited to just Queenslanders or RL footballers.  I could but won't bother providing a list of indiscretions by former NSW Players & Officials.  If you think a bit you'll soon recall a few yourself.

 

Anyway  .. I'm out of here  ......  talk to again after the next game.

 

ps.  It's next year that I am concerned about when we almost certainly loose JT & Cooper Cronk.

And yes I agree, It was great not to hear that bloody ref whistle holding up the game.

 

I madethag comment a few posts back. I was abit slow.

Should have said that the Ref did not need to blow the whistle on 5 occasions.

That was 5 tries..... Oh  well thats game one    bring on game 2.

The Maroons are back in Town!!...Kevvy W has wielded a sharp axe by cutting 5 players from Origin 1....He, Myles, and Lockyer have used their heads rather than their hearts..they have chosen 5 Maroon players that are more than capable of serving up a defeat over the Blues on Wednesday....

The big 4, Thurston, Cronk, Slater and possibly Smith may be in their last year of Origin and with our new fresh blood of Valentine, Hess, Cooper & Co.....the Maroons will prove more than competitive.....sad that Thaiday will miss out on his 30th Origin and will not grace Origin again...Winger/Oats' play is too easy to read, so the unpredictable highly talented Darius Boyd is a great selection.....

This will now be a great match for Queenslanders to watch unlike Origin 1 ...go the Maroons....they could now win by 8 points IMO.....Hoo Roo
