Whilst NSW have trained at a rugby union public boys school and largely been unavailable to fans the Maroons have gone all out on a charm offensive with the WA public. Their open training session and meet the team night at HBF park was a massive success with thousands of fans attending, a meet the fans at Rebel sports was packed out and generally the access has been excellent. A lot of NSW fans here not happy with the NSW approach.

* NSW selectors keep the same team after a loss *

"Typical NSW culture of failure, keep giving the jersey to players who don't have the heart for Origin"

* NSW selectors make changes to the team after a loss *

"Typical NSW- make panic changes after every loss. Didn't see us dropping Slater, Inglis, JT, Lockyer, Smith or Cronk after a loss. We pick and stick!"

* NSW organise plenty of fan events in the lead up to a match *

"Lol- too busy doing meet and greets with the fans, maybe if they spent more time plotting how they're going to actually win the game they'd have more than two series wins in 10 years?"

* NSW devote the majority of their time to keeping close ranks in Origin camp *

"Bunch of losers, NSW is trash!"

Some people will hate on you no matter what you do. It's glorious.

They can have the hearts and minds.

Was a pretty even split in the stadium maybe nsw slightly edging it crowd wise. Impressive to see so many in blue or maroon, it seems even the perth neutrals decided to a pick a team to cheer on.
