Origin means more to Qlders than to NSWers. When Qlders look at NSW in rugby terms they see Sydney the capital city of the game. The home of most of its clubs, the home of the GF. Generally and not just in sporting terms when they look at NSW they see Sydney with its economic and cultural power and the Big city glamour that Brissy just doesn't have.
In Origin Queensland is the plucky small guy trying to put it over the Big city slickers. It means more to them and less to Welshies. That's just how it is.
Over all NSWers attend more games than Qlders but Origin just means less to them.
Completely wrong. Indeed, you have voiced the sentiment that we do see in NSW. We see the
self-appointed centre of the game. We see the state that was able to pillage us through better financial resources and play our own players against us. We see the state that will introduce golden point because they are upset that two drawn Origin games resulted in series wins to Queensland. We see the state that will change the Origin draw in the short term to give themselves and extra game as part of any leg up they can garner to win a series after so long in the wilderness.
And you are the gift that keeps on giving. Your own worst enemy.
That's Origin.
It is like I told the idiots in Brisbane. The option is there later to watch an away game gives you more freedom.
Nice. Clearly it is the Brisbanites that are to blame when this thread gets bogged down. Don't know why I bothered with a reasoned response to you earlier in the week, because all I got back was abuse.
Defend your s*** club crowds from here till doomsday then, pal.
Not heard an ad or seen any press for the club games.
And as I stated in an earlier post there has been a lot of advertising for the Broncos-Warriors game. A lot.
Maybe if you guys
should advertise. But then again, you don't want to follow what big brother is doing in Brisbane. It might actually work or something.
