State of Origin is dead: just end it now

TBH I dont give two shits about SOO anymore, what a waste of time. Players should just focus on their club and try and WIN a premiership, which is more important then SOO. If one the players from the dragons where injured during the series, I would be devastated. I feel sorry for the cowboys, their season is most likely over now.

The thread starter is close to being right. Not because NSW lost, but because they lost with no pride. If the roles were reversed I guarantee you that the QLD players would have thrown-down punches for ruining the Lockyer farewell.

Ricky Stewart should be axed for not putting the CattleDog call out in the last 5

Even though we lost this series, for the first time in a long time i have seen more NSW fans and more Blues passionate about their state and you can sense a change in the players attitude towards playing for NSW. Origin is nowhere near dead, yeah Qld have won 6 in a row but this series was one of the closely contested in a LONG time and NSW has given their fans hope heading into the future. It is not dead at all.

We did not give up though, we scored the last 2 tries of each half and kept fighting but when you have no ball and keep making silly errors, you are never going to win, they hung in there and tried their hardest but it wasnt good enough.

I'm not doubting it mate. I was trying to explain the significance of the 24-0 lead to my brother who only watches soccer, and how we couldn't come back. And come the end of the 2nd half we were back in it.

But the last 5 minutes the game was gone, NSW should have put the biff on mate. QLD would have if we ruined Lockyers party, you could bet on that. But QLD ruined what should have been NSW series and we copped it sweet.

I was left feeling dirty for the lack of brawl

It is very harsh mate, but that could have happened in any game. Very innocuous it was, but no less difficult to deal with.

Sorry, the great thing about rugby league is the three tiers (club, state, international).

We drop Origin and we drop one of our major advantages (3 of our 4 highest rating games and crowds)

I feel sorry for the Cowboys too, but that's rugby league.

Yeah, I shouted 'there goes the season'.
I'm happy Queensland won but I'm so disappointed.

Funny how that the so called experts aren't saying it isn't it? After all when NSW were dominating they were saying Origin was dead yet NSW go through a bad patch and nooooo Origin is alive and well. Seem they're trying to feed the Queensland Spirit or should I say Inferiority Complex

That's why they get off on Queensland's domination because they have a massive Infferiority Complex

LOL Another frustrated NSW supporter claiming origin is dead because YOU CANNOT WIN.

Typical crybaby loser attitude.

All I can say is, get used to losing and being dominated by the superior league state!!!

The tide will turn. It always bloody does.
It turned when Wally retired for us, it turned again when Johns retired, now that Locky has retired... Well I guess we'll see.
