....and Gus has come out today and said he will not allow the Penrith players near the NSW Origin set up if chosen.
Could you imagine a Queensland player / manager / representative of the local raffle / physio etc say anything negative about Queensland? Even if Queensland had lost 5 in a row, representing Queensland is the highest honour a Queenslander can have. It trumps Australia.
No one in Queensland will say anything bad about Queensland ever
No one in Queensland would say no to playing for Queensland
No one in Queensland would say they don't want their friends / family members or team mates playing for Queensland
No one in Queensland says whoever has been picked isn't going to get the job done
This is why Queensland win. They know they're going to win because New South Wales beat themselves
EVERY f**kING TIME
