ALL- TIME HATED XVII
1. Karmichael Hunt- Not really a problem with him personally (although a chick I knew a few years ago had a friend who dated him and said he was an r-soul), more the fact that he is way overrated. The biggest point to his game is jumping 2 feet in the air, trying to sidestep and then getting smashed by the oncoming defenders as soon as his boots touch ground. If he didn't play for the Broncos, he wouldn't be Queensland fullback.
2. Greg Inglis- Traitor. Can't believe the Queenslanders would let a born and bred Blue play for them. Isn't that what the whole Origin concept was meant to stop? Seriously, if you are born and raised south of Coolangatta and you want to play for the Maroons, you are seriously geniused.
3. Chris Close- What the f**k would he know about how passionate people in NSW are about their state? He's never sat in the Blues dressing room, never attended their training sessions and never supported them. Also rates a mention for the fine display of sportsmanship he displayed after Game 3 2006 when he clearly flipped the NSW team the bird. Is this that "Queensland passion" that we apparently lack?
4. Judas Lyon- I didn't know Brookvale Oval was located in Wee Waa?
5. John Hopoate- Dirty arse-poking thug and a prime niggler on the field.
6. Anthony Mundine- Overhyped wanker full of hot air.
7. Brett Kimmorley- SHOW ME THE MONEY! Also forgot what State he was representing nearly every time he pulled on a Blues jumper.
8. Josh Perry- Played 1 good game a year with the Knights, spent the rest looking like Randy from 'Trailer Park Boys' if you put him in a Knights jersey and paid him good money to pick up scraps from Andrew Johns. Quoted as saying "There were times last year when I felt embarrassed to be wearing the Knights jersey." As a fellow poster on here wrote: "Well Josh, there were times last year when I was embarrassed to see you wearing the Knights jersey too!"
9. Geoff Toovey- A total whinger, never shutting up at the ref with his incessant complaining. It was a great day when 'Mad Dog' Macdougall (deliberately or not) raked a boot across his face. In short, the Joel Griffiths of League.
10. Andrew Gee- Cheap shot merchant.
11. Gorden Tallis- Thug. Will never forget the cheap backhander he gave Mad Dog after scoring in Game 2 of Origin 2000. Whatever he is like off the field, on it he was a dirty thug who the Queenslanders defended as "passionate" and anybody else with a clear mind labelled "wanker".
12. Clint Newton- Turncoat. Tried desperately to stay in Newcastle and then stabbed the club in the back when they (rightly) decided he wasn't worth the salary.
13. Trevor Gillmeister- See Chris Close, except Axe hasn't flipped us the bird. Yet.
RESERVES:
14. Terry Lamb- Go and see what happened to Ellery Hanley in the 1988 Grand Final. Also thought Hopoate's "smell my fingers" act was funny enough to replay on the big screen at Tigers training over and over.
15. Andrew Gee- Cheap shot merchant, dirty player.
16. Chris Walker- Egotistical wanker.
17. Benny Elias- New South Wales legend. Incessant niggler and a dirty player. Lol and all you Banana-benders were about to call me biased :LOL:
COACH
Can't split Terry Lamb or Chris Anderson.
Notable exception- Justin Hodges. Has picked up his game these last few years noticeably and matured into a class player.
