I love the Kiwis like you and Sup.
Origin is a cancer of the international game but last night game was pretty good watch.
I never turned away from my screen. It was as good as it could get.
The dumbness of the NRL is that we could have both. We could quite easily have a popular Origin series and international football.
Like the Yanks they have chosen the exceptionalism route, circle the Wagons, arranged marriages to relatives only, get some plonkers like Phil Gould and Matt Nable saying Órigin' like they are having an orgasm.
Last nights game might have been great, but honestly Origin has been boring for decades, either one sided or sanitized hand bags with loads of errors. On the whole it is certainly not the contest I used to enjoy a long ways back.
And then the Aussies would rub it in by having a one off ANZAC game after they have warmed up vs an after thought coming in cold hapless Kiwis team....with an Australian Referee!
It would be fair to say I deeply resent the Origin and I do not let them off the hook with this rubbish about not being as motivated to win tests. Hey that is their problem, man up and show some pride in your country you fairies, leave the excuses at the door and accept Tongan can beat you now.
OMG the arrogance in saying that they are not motivated as an excuse for any losses. The Dream team wiped the floor the world of Basketball, a much bigger sport, and they were not motivated either, they were just wayyy better. Like for real way better, not fake Origin we are better but we lost because we were not interested.
