Having people who want NSW to win and being "Queensland" are two different things
Of course there are people who want NSW to win, but we in NSW don't define ourselves as being New South Welshmen. It doesn't permeate all other aspects of our lives. You don't see thousands of people throughout the year wearing light blue NSW stuff.

Queenslanders are Queenslanders first, second, third and fourth. They're Australians about fifth and then whatever town they're on

Down here, we are Eastern suburbs or Northern Beaches or Shire folk or Westies (or name your town) first, then we're Sydney people second, then we're Australians and then we might as an after thought think about being from NSW, but generally not, unless Origin is on.

That's the difference - that's why it means more to them. They measure their lives by it

That's the passion.
So everyone in NSW identifies as Sydney second? I think you’re a little off the mark there mate...

Can't see us winning it this year. Last year was a nice unexpected bonus.
Be pretty much the final insult to NSW if we could somehow pull off a win this year. Not expecting too much though.

The state talk in Queensland really borders on pathetic at times. Nothing wrong about being passionate about your state but it they take it seriously over the top. I remember the floods in 2011 Anna Bligh was on the news going on about how they would get through it because they are Queenslanders and nobody else was as good or could fight the world like them

Ugh

What do you expect. State of Origin was created to Sooth their ego.

Victoria is every bit as insular and self important

‘For the last 13 years NSW have had a better team on paper every year, but they don’t have the QLD spirit, that’s what gets us over the line’

It’s right when it comes to the forwards, QLD have zero forward depth, NSW have heaps. Tim Glasby is in the mix FFS..

Can’t wait for NSW to win 3-0 to really jam it up these type of dyckheads.

When they start getting pumped year after year because Cam Smith isn’t there to wipe their arse we’ll see if this spirit is the same.

I call bullshyte!
