You should be happy! No eel will be harmed during the making of this wildlife series.

Thats true, we will have to wait 530pm Saturday for that...

I have to chair a webex meeting with overseas merkins @9.30pm.

Probably won't have even finished with the pre-match dog shit by that stage.

Introduce those foreign merkins to the SOO traditions

"Smash those 2 headed merkins!" .... "Rip his f**kin head off"

What time will the Origin post match discussion thread open?

 

[strider]

f**k that, wheres the origin game day thread ffs .... Gary!!

 

[hineyrulz]

I'm calling this right now. QLD to pump the other team tomorrow night, as much as it dreads me to say it. You can all feel confident in putting your hard earned on it. I know what my gut is telling me.

Did you get a bad batch of Flos scones mate???

 

[hineyrulz]

I’m off to the game, NSW haven’t lost a game in 15 years when I have been at the game.

I haven’t been to a game in 15 years but that’s besides the point.

f**k the Two heads and f**k Flos scones.

Are you going to open the meeting with a dad joke?

 

[hindy111]

Ok so I have no idea what webex is.
Mick used to always go on about webex but that was his poor English. He loved his cereal.

I think he will go with a parrot joke

 

[Twizzle]

BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS

Yep...and I will probably not even bother wearing pants.

Caxton open this early?

 

[T.S Quint]

I'm not even interested, tbh.

Tim Mannah, Shaun Lane, and Blake Ferguson were robbed!

In all seriousness, though - Origin does nothing for me.

All I care about is the Eels - how sad am I?

I’m interested in the game whilst it’s on.
But I am so sick of the media build up to every Origin match that now starts before the season even kicks off.
Watching a regular season match and the commentators suddenly start talking about Origin for five minutes, what an insult to those teams playing right in front of them. People picking their Origin teams every week from round 1. I understand that it’s the jewel in the NRL’s crown but it is a bit much.

agree

though Kevies done his best this year to spice it up by losing his marbles

the build up is insanely boring, thank christ for the cricket WC
some cracker upsets, South Africa and Ungerland mainly
