2018 Origin I - QLD 12-22 NSW @ MCG

[King hit]

Billy Moore had,
Billy Moore had,
Billy Moore had it in his veins.
Billy Moore had,
Billy Moore had,
Billy Moore had it in his veins

Billy Moore had Everest in his veins;
Locky did moon, was not the same;
Toads explore to give us hope;
J Smith pushed back the envelope.

I know Billy Moore and Lockyer but who the f**k is this J Smith fellow? Must've gone okay

So is this the first time both Origin teams have been captained by a New South Welshman?

Did sterling ever captain nsw?

 

[King hit]

Did sterling ever captain nsw?

No he didn't and he didn't grow up in Queensland so drop it

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Did sterling ever captain nsw?

Nah, he was graded at Hunter sports high....

 

[Desert Qlder]

Origin thread going as per usual. NSWankers obsessing over Queensland.

I haven't even seen who's in the roaches yet. But let me guess, best team ever assembled and will go on for a never-ending dynasty under the reign of the supercoach Fittler?

No one has said that yet but now that you mention it, yes.

It's a two team game. WTF are people going to talk about other than the only two teams. Maybe we should discuss knitting instead

It wouldn't be an origin thread without this flog coming in to talk utter shit.

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

Absolute dribbler

 

[Desert Qlder]

Lol the roaches dropped both blokes who got Man of the Match for em last year.

 

[Canard]

Be the biggest choke in World sport history if the Blues don't win by 30+

If they do win 30+ will Origin be declared dead by a Queenslander again?

Hopefully. The crying from NSW would be worth it.

Nah, he was graded at Hunter sports high....

Shits me that Inglis played for my old High school (Hunter Sports High). Only solace I have is when I went there it was called Gateshead High.

 

[8Ball]

May the best team win on Wednesday and the refs to have a good game

 

[Lambretta]

Apparently there was a very large upswing in ticket sales once Brad Fittler announced the NSW team
According to Andrew Webster in the SMH this morning

There's definitely a sense of hope and optimism with the new direction.

Fittler has put his cock on the line with this team. If they win, fantastic the gamble has paid off.

If they lose who does he go to for replacements? More untested or the mob that got dropped?

Queensland without Smith, Cronk and Thurston is a massive change to the team. But I have huge fears about the blues three quarter line's defence and get out of trouble ability

f**k going back to the guys dropped.

If a winger is shit. Bring innCotric.
If a centre is shit. Bring in Aitken.
When Cordner is shit. Bring in Sims.

Although I think we need to stick to the spine barring injury. If someone is shit all series replace them next year.

Or maybe change the bench to include a replacement for Cleary or Cook if they arent up to it

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

Farah for game two if cooks fails?
