Was never a Daryl fan, but what a sad way to end up...
Didn't realise he commentated the origin for so many years...

I challenge anyone to watch that 3 times and not have it stuck in their head afterwards.

Qld team seem a bit flat, like oh, we won again?

I think qld should give the U21's a run for the dead rubber...........

Yawnfest again. I've seen this movie before.

NSW self destruct with stupidity
The team of 2 Queenslanders and 11 Islanders,Kiwis and everywhere else, get away with stuff the blues get penalised for
Ch9 commentary is dreadful

Can't wait for the next game-not. Thankfully there is always Netflix

Bugger, as a Victorian that has only followed NRL for five or six years I thought the Maroons were full of Queenslanders . What does SOO mean?

Do agree about Ch9 commentators tho, they are very biased towards the Blues. What's with that sour puss Brad Fitler, looked like he had just been told off by his mum

it's not where you are born that determines who you play for, that's just something sore losing NSW supporters bring up when whinging about their teams inability to win a series. The link below explains how it works...even NSW best ever halfback was born in Toowoomba, James Tamou born in NZ etc etc. It actually gets funnier every time this gets brought up, especially that song they made up about it thinking it would upset us...lol. https://www.nrl.com/portals/nrl/RadEditor/Documents/2015/AboutUs/StateofOriginEligibilityExplained.pdf

NSW seem to forget how the 1st games rules for player selection were done as well.
It was based on the state where the team is based that you played for on the day.
When it was changed to rules similar to now, QLD started winning and didn't they hate it.

Bit disappointed that Gallen only had the 1 whinge to the ref last night.

patroldude · « **Reply #70 on:** June 23, 2016, 08:01:08 AM »

When Freddy was interviewing Gallen after the match, it looked like the pair of Em where about to fall in a heap crying

Funny chit

Then Freddy interviews Woodys and asks how he's feeling?

SOO = First professional (senior) team that you play for

I find the hype and tribalism around it a bit much. It's just become a nice money earner for the NRL so its flogged to death and seems to get worse every year.

If you're a dedicated follower of a team chasing a premiership, SOO can be a nightmare. It removes key players from teams and exposes them to injury; forces teams to play reserve sides; & lets teams win in the regular comp that might not have otherwise. I'd rather my team focus on getting the premiership tbh (not that this is v. likely this year)

When will they ever learn !!

Focus 100% for 80 mins on playing & winning the game and stop thinking about cheap shot opportunities....and they might actually start to win....maybe.

BaseCamp · « **Reply #74 on:** June 23, 2016, 09:13:20 AM »

As a Queenslandeeeer ... I was actually hoping the cocaroaches would win.... the (State of Origin) game ain't what it used to be - and what's with the heavy habitual reliance on the video ref..... Just let the on-ground refs get on with it, cock ups and all.....

But what about that guy who ran the whole length of the paddock and scored a try.... brilliant!!!
