What a joke the Qlders are.

[Matabele]

It was more of a case of QLD getting in first and NSW (at the time) thinking that they had better options on the go

  I kind of agree with you on this.  It's worth looking at the context of the situation to understand the decision.  It happened around the time NSW had won 3 straight and there were dire predictions it would be the death of Origin as Queensland were becoming uncompetitive, NSW having the sheer weight of numbers.

Therefore either NSW did not resist to hard, because a significant cash cow was at risk if Qld couldn't get its act together, or perhaps they were even told to let it slide. 

It's interesting that the same sentiment isn't around now with NSW staring down the barrel of 5 straight.  It seems little brother knocking over big brother is a better byline to a drama?

Well at least there is some level of competition & boisterous interest in the SOO in this forum, because the lead up in the media is pretty boring this year.

Stuff the queenslanders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woooooohoooooooooooooo.

I just hope the reprisals from the last 75 seconds of last year continue.  I hate NSW and Qld is populated by grubby Storm cheats and other unsavoury characters.  Let them belt the tripe out of each other UFC style for our entertainment, preferably with White, Slater, Inglis, Smith, Thurston, Lockyer, Perry, Weyman, Hayne killed.

Damn, I'm too late, it's all been said.

I agree with the sentiment of the original post but unfortunately we need to have a national game in order to compete in any way with any other code.

Just to make myself feel better, here's some words that spring to mind.
Rednecks, Banjo-pluckers, Hillbillys, Inbreds, Bogans, Red-dotters and sunstroke victims.

 

[Matabele]

When I think of NSW I can think of only one word to describe them.  Jealous. 

 

[Fro]

Thats because as a self appointed Qlder 1 word is about the limits for you.

Of course it is - you could castrate him by cutting his head off

Wishing them to be killed is pretty poor form, especially when Perry is a Manly player.

Can someone explain to SER8 what hyperbole means please?  Fro?

that's pronounced hyper-bowl yeah?

Oh I get it. I think .. the delights of 2 dimensional communication :-\

I still wasn't sure what hyperbole was so I looked it up. This is the example I found:

•"Ladies and gentlemen, I've been to Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and I can say without hyperbole that this is a million times worse than all of them put together."
(Kent Brockman, The Simpsons)

It's a good example, I now understand the concept!
