No game tonight?
Well that sucks.

As fun as origin is what is the sacrifice?

You end up with 4 rounds or let's say 32 games where best players are missing due to having to play or being tested for the game after.
I don't like it. Fact is we prob dont beat South if not for origin so how is it fair to them?

And game 3 seems silly if it's a dead rubber. Does any other sport do this?
Imagine the NBA or Baseball playing anyways after series has been won.
Or Federer winning the first 3 set but playing the 4th and 5th to keep crowd happy......

Isn't NBA best of 7? so at the very least 4 matches

Tennis they aint playing best of 3, best of 5 sets within ONE match

ODI cricket they often have a 3 or 5 or 7 match series
Australia beat Pakistan 5-0 on their recent trip to the UAE

Test match cricket as well, Ashes is 5 tests, we have thumped the poms 4-0, 5-0 at times
No one wants that to stop at 3-0 :D

A fair point mate but I wonder the result last night if game 3 is not played last year? Its an opportunity to re set after a losing series without waiting a whole year. I love Origin footy so the more games played the better for mine.

I'm glad I didn't get the chance to switch back to the bunnies. And I'm now ranked 0 out of 123084 in the tipping, which I guess means I'm ahead of the guy coming first.
