Is anyone passionate about state of origin anymore.
I am but thats just because my dad is a queenslander and i have to listen to him every time they win.
But with this no biff rule i feel the origin isnt what it was and has become more like the nrl just boring as bloody soccer
Imo, this no biff rule is idiotic - this is a contact sport played by big, aggressive blokes, and testosterone is flowing freely.
I tell you, as a former prop, if someone hit a teammate high deliberately, I had no qualms going in with fists flying. I'd get penalised and binned, but I'll be dammed if they didn't try the dirty tactics again.
It's great to legally belt people in tackles, but wgen emotions boil over, let the fists fly, I say.
