Yeah we're watching it too (only some music entertainment on atm)

Hubby reckons the Blues are gonna lose.

Why?

Maroons have Thurston, Slater, Smith and Cronk aka Awesome Foursome.

So yeah...our money is on QLD winning this game.

Bugger bugger bugger bugger!

True but it won't be enough.

Not with Thurston et al.

Thank God Inglis isn't playing....otherwise NSW would be facing a massacre.

Anyway....I hope NSW wins. I don't see that happening though 

God I hate it when Sprint walks into an Origin topic to gloat.

I already know that's gonna happen

I heard that you use Men as an excuse to "touch" and "handle" their balls..

is that right??

That was unbelievable.

What a great game, NSW were far better than us in the first half.

Thurston was injured, but worth carrying for his kicking.

Life is great in the Sunshine State...

Now now ... sounds like you were listening to that m0ron Andrew Johns in the after match wrap.

He reckons Thurston will be undergoing surgery for his shoulder within days ..... that's just him wishing out loud because he doesn't want Thurston there for game 3.

Maybe he won't be but we'll see ...... it will be his & Cronks last Origin game.

Anyhoo since when have you been a C0ckroach supporter? Or NRL for that matter.

QLD didn't get smashed .... scored 12 points to nil in the second half to take the game.

The Hayne Drain & Grub Maloney both gave away penalties at vital times 

Fifita was kept relatively quiet  ....... Good night was all she wrote.... the Fat Lady has sung.

QUEENSLANDER!!!!!!!!

Then Thurston spoiled it all

What an insightful witty put down.

Because the Qlders heel is off the ground and the sideline bloke is right there on the scene to observe it.

I have no interest in your arse.  Try Sir Bobby.  That heel is clearly raised and the sideline bloke is Johnny on the Spot.

Today's News report that it was a try.   

See you at Suncorp in three weeks, cockroach!

I forgot all about last night's game. I only watched at most 20 minutes of the second half.

Lisa Jones wrote on Jun 22^nd, 2017 at 9:39am:


No you weren't ... Thurston didn't score the try, Thurston didn't throw the flick pass to Gagai who scored it to level the score.

Even after Thurston kicked the winning points ... there were several minutes to go for the QLDers to hang on.

I know time flies ... but not that quickly.

His heel is no way in the air on the video. The bunker stuffed it up.

I was being a bit sardonic. I was expecting NSW to win Wednesday night. And I have given up on the Cowboys a few weeks back.

You Indians and other future blow ins better pick up on your English because now you need uni level English to get a visa.

I remember when Rugby League was 'respected'.
When the Kangaroo tour or test match against Great Britain was League at its best.
Even Melbournians would stay up late to watch in their thousands.

But League (Cain) soon became 'jealous' of AFL/VFL who had huge crowds (sometimes over 100,000) attend nothing but a local 'suburbian/club level' game of Carlton V Collingwood, etc.

Then they knocked it down from the International scene to the State scene with State of Origin and even that has lost its importance.

Now, its all about the Grand Final as being 'the most important' thing. Hell, the Sharks even one a Grand Final.  Good for ratings ain't it. 

AFL hasn't been 'innocent' either with its attempts at the International level via the hybrid Gaelic/Rules Football tests against the Irish.

We even saw League try to compete with Union via its 'Super League' - well that flopped and Rugby Union just 'stole the show' with a very successful 'Super Rugby' format of its own.

Watch those NRL 'Footy Shows' on TV where they prance around in Drag and call AFL as GayFL? 

Anyone who watches/follows NRL or even AFL are GRUBS - because its all 'Cain & Abel' from now on.

I miss a Australia where I could go into another State and it was like a unique 'other country' with its own type of football and other cultural differences.
Now Pauline Hanson's Dream of a One Nation has made all of Australia a 'generalised bore' of sameness.
Travel across the border and you're still seeing the same stuff you left behind. Travel 3000kms and you still see the same stuff.

League has lost its way because of jealousy and insecurity.

Melbournians may get bigger crowds at 'club level' Football, but they have always been amazed at how many people would pack into the Leagues 'clubs' themselves, compared to their own. But that idiot Packer set up the Crown Casino in Melbourne and well...
...everything that this country stood for as a great place to live has been done over by the OVER-ACHIEVERS.

This country was not 'broken' - but look at all the idiots trying to fix it.

I have to agree with you Francis.
Rugby League can't score tries like it used to unless the 'playmaker' kicks the ball into the corner for the wing or centre to leap up and take that AFL 'mark' to score a try.


League has become a Code of Grubs.
