A fan of the show Big Love are you? ;-)
edit: back on topic, skeepe is really Justin Hodges in disguise (who would have thought a Broncos players would secretly follow Canberra - or is that just part of the ruse?):

NSW trio accused of cheap shots, dog acts in State of Origin

QUEENSLAND last night launched a blistering attack on Blues trio Trent Barrett, Brett White and Trent Waterhouse over the ugly end to Game III, which saw veteran prop Steve Price taken off the field by stretcher.
Man of the series Greg Inglis and Test centre Justin Hodges called the NSW players' actions in the dying stages of last night's epic encounter at Suncorp Stadium "cheap shots" and "dog acts" not worthy of a professional footballer.
While both took extreme exception to what they labelled "king hits" from White and Waterhouse that left Price bloodied and unconscious, it was Barrett - the villain from Game II in Sydney - who earned the greatest savaging after he laughed at Price and backslapped teammates.
"I just thought it was a dog act, basically," Hodges said. "Pricey gets king hit and then Waterhouse comes over and tries to pick him up when he is on the ground.
"It was one of those sorts of dog acts you don't want to see in rugby league and, as a Queenslander, we saw one of our brothers out there get hurt so we wanted to hurt them back.
"You hurt one of our brothers, well we were out to hurt one of theirs as well.
"But the worst bit was when Pricey got hurt, you had Barrett and those guys laughing. It was a serious injury.
"It is Origin and sometimes things happen. But that is not the done thing. Especially not when it is such a dog act that has led to it.
"The poor guy wasn't moving and they come over and try to lift him and jiggle him around. You don't want to see that happen to anyone - Queensland or NSW.
"Those guys need to have a look at themselves."
Hodges vowed retribution against Barrett, who was playing his first game after a two-match suspension for a sickening swinging-arm hit on Inglis.
"You had Barrett there laughing and high-fiving like a little kid," Hodges said.
"He did it to GI last game, so I guess we will just have to wait to play Cronulla to get him back."
Despite a badly corked thigh early in the first half, Inglis reiterated his position as the game's most potent attacking weapon with another incredible display, and laughed at suggestions the Blues could take any solace from their win.
While players such as Brett Kimmorley were touting the victory as a sign NSW had found a chink in the Maroons' armour, Inglis' response was swift and pointed.
"They just lost four series in a row, so I don't think I would be cheering too much," he said.
"They maybe need to have a look in the record book. We have won four series in a row. That is what matters to us."
As for Anthony Watmough's assertion that this was only the tip of the iceberg, Inglis could only smile. "I think their Titanic has sunk, mate," he said.

ROFLMFAO @ Hodges saying White "king-hit" Price. Queensland really do struggle to admit defeat, even in on-field fisticuffs. And a big up yours to the traitor at the end of the article.
, he deserved getting binned for that effort. Hodges is all talk and both he and Thurston are weak grubs! Eat sh*t QLD!!! had to celebrate the series win with a loss the sore losers, NSW spoils the so called biggest party on earth! :lol::lol::lol::lol:
