Rep Match (2005): NSW Vs QLD

[Mzilikazi]

How unusual for NSW to be whinging about the ref?

 

[Pistol]

Thanks Willow. It was indeed a pleasure to play Origin and match wits with the Bluebags captain.

 

[gorilla]

half's not whining, just expressing disappointment and helping me gain a broader understanding of the concept, and being fairly civil about it too. Southerners might Welsh in New and unusual ways but they never whine....

As I said I liked the piece.

Yes I do get it now, but that's the point - it wasn't clear enough before. The metaphors weren't clearly drawn and the RL not fully interwoven.

Anyway, this thread is not for post-post discussion.
cheers, I presume (in Darryl Brohmanesque manner) that I'll be a hot tip for future SOO reffing (just call me little grasshopper, eh ?)

Well done to Mzilkazi and the rest of the Queenslanders. To share MOTM honours with such a great article is great stuff. Well done to my team mates, bad luck but we'll get em next time.

 

[half]

this is how george orwell must feel when some kid reads through animal farm and says "wait a minute, pigs don't talk! wtf is going on here?" except now imagine that kid is supposed to be some expert literature critic or an english teacher

willow, i'll only take this on the chin cos there's not much else i can do

 

[gorilla]

half, if you want it explained so that you get it, PM me or start a thread, this thread is not for argument.
Otherwise back off.

 

[Pistol]

The referee has done a great job. I have no reason to say otherwise.

 

[PJ Marshal]

if the ref did a great job he would of understood what half was trying to get at in his article.....it was highly creative....possibly one of the best articles written here

 

[Willow]

OK, drop it now. Itr has nothing to do with you PJ and the referee's decision is final.
Time to move on.

 

[Misanthrope]

Haha, comparing your article to George Orwell's work. Haha.

Tough luck to NSW. I was there last year, so clearly the difference was my absence. No, seriously. Good job by QLD.

Bad luck my Blues comrades, but a good game of high quality nonetheless. Good work by all fourteen participants! Thanks gorilla on the marking as well, not overly happy with my score (or my article in general) but happy with my contribution on my Origin debut!
