It sounds like you share that desire.

Nah, just pointing out the recent captains from NSW. You certainly heard plenty about Warne being a Victorian and relatively little about McGrath being from Sydney, but I digress. Cricket probably isn't the best place to look for example since QLD hasn't provided much since Hayden and Symonds.

I lived in Melbourne from Jan 2019 - December 2019 and didn't enjoy it much but I have to admit that the buzz of Melbourne city and inner suburbs (inclusive of the crackheads) is far better than Sydney. They are very proud of their city and their hate for Sydney is cringe though. I found that Sydneysiders do not care about Melbourne until prompted, and then they erupt with "BuT oUr BeAcHes!" and "wE ArE thE CApiTaL". In any case, the Melbourne v Sydney rivalry is 90% from Melbourne's side.

Brisbane and Perth people just live their relatively happy unbothered lives.

You are correct though, Melbourne claiming to be liveable is a complete joke. I routinely had to step over syringes, and I worked in the 'Paris end' of Collins Street.

BUT! With all this being said, if I had to pick between a Woollahra or Toorak home, I would pick Woollahra, because Rugba Leeg.
Nobody screws Australia more then what virus spreading victorians do. Dreading going there to visit my mate this year. Going to taunt them about quarantine cells

Like Nicho Hynes, Keary was the scapegoat after his one and only chance at origin when the team lost and Freddy panicked. Just like this year, the blues went on to lose the series.

Keary was never given a fair go at origin but agree his time is now past and shouldn't be considered in 2023.
It’s the NSW way.

2 of the top 3 clubs for membership last year were NSW clubs?

Membership is such a Vic-Tard thing anyway
Nothing wrong with that. Membership money goes to the club you support. I have been a Storm member for 25 yrs. It saves having to deal with Ticketet/ Ticketmaster every week. I was surprised that memberships weren't really a thing in the NRLfor a long time. When I supported AFL I was always a member

Oh so post match interviews is what determine a great coach then does it? :rolleyes:

You just made yourself LU's version of Pee Wee Herman using your own comparison and by using that flat out stupid criteria. There are plenty of rugby league coaches who are great public speakers but have horrible records as a head coach.
WTF are you taking about. Nothing to do with being a great public speaker or not but what they say. And it is pretty obvious you didn’t watch any post match interviews because then you would understand.

Maybe. But 14 out of the last 18 series going to Qld proves that Qld rugby league is superior to nsw rugby league and always has been.
actually would be interested to see what the junior numbers are in each state. I get the feeling that Queensland has a smaller population but probably has close to the same amount of kids playing rugby league

Covid is over no one cares. Find something else to complain about.
There was once a Victorian family in Noosa who were openly telling me about how the beaches in Melbourne were so much better than Queenslands. They are a cult trying to one up the entire world. In Shane Warne’s autobiography there is an entire chapter about how Victoria is better than the rest of Australia. I like Queensland and all but when I travel I don’t go around giving the finger at people bragging.
