Queensland and rugby league are made for each other. It's a perfect blend of favourites playing a subjectively ruled game to direct results to the masses.
It must be great to be a Qld fan, it really must be.
Qld players never get penalised for laying all over the play the ball...especially on the 5th tackle.
Qld players never get told to play the ball on the mark.
Qld players never get penalised for a high tackle...that wasn't high.
Qld players never get penalised for a high tackle...that was high.
Qld players never get a forward pass call against them when the movement looks like and subsequently leads to a try.
When Qld players need a bit of a rest the refs will use the subjective nature of rugby league to:
Penalise NSW for: Being offside
Penalise NSW for: A supposed high tackle
Penalise NSW for: A leg pull in the tackle
Penalise NSW for: High tackles, laying on the player, hands in the ruck.
If all that happens and NSW are still attacking late in the game the beautiful Qld and Rugby League partnership will then seamlessly and effortlessly slip straight into the next level of 'officiating' where they will straight out rule against NSW any way they can.
For example, changing a scrum feed. If nsw are still on the attack against a tiring qld side, the refs will be told to award a Qld scrum feed even if it should go to NSW as the result of a high kick. Refs will be told to overturn a decision that correctly awards a nsw feed.
Queensland and Rugby League, the perfect partnership.
And another reason for why it must be great to be a Qld fan: All this happens for you whilst you're in complete ignorance of it happening! You think at best it's a level playing field!
S.O.O - the Queensland adult version of a Santa Claus.
Sleep well you simple sweet northern folk, you're being looked after as well as your salary cap rorting, dodgy third party deal accepting stars are.
Queensland and Rugby League - the perfect partnership.
