Had it put to me in a facebook post this morning by Cameron Blewett the following:
The “State of Origin” is over for another year, and Qld has won it for the 7th time. Does this mean that they will now open it up to other states for there to be some real competition or, my preferred option, no longer play it cause there is no long any point to it?
My response: “You clearly didn’t watch the game…”
Hand’s up who did? I was there. This was my view:
- don’t drop the ball Queensland
- please don’t make a mistake
- I need to tell one person to suck shit so bad it’s not funny…
You just don’t drive around Queensland with that sort of “your mother’s got a big moustache” kind of comments, it’s just asking for trouble.
So, Mr Blewett, back to you. If anyone thinks that the SoO is a waste of time because Queensland has won seven series in a row, then please go and watch netball – the Firebirds are going really well this season.
State of Origin is three games. It is NOT a given that Queensland will win and there’s a ‘she’ll be right’ attitude as the team goes into each game. If they did that New South Wales WOULD win.
The kudos Queensland has achieved through this sport is now legend. It’s a state of mind, it’s a state of the heart, it’s WHAT – IT – MEANS – TO – BE – A – QUEENSLANDER.
Unless you are one, you won’t understand. It’s that simple.
Did you see Wally on the Footy Show the other night when they cheered that Billy Slater was out for Game 3? Did you see his face? That’s what it means to be a Queenslander. Some things are just like a punch in the gut, but you can’t let them see it affected you, you just get up and get on with it. Wally did that.
That’s why you’ll never see NSW make a shirt that says Shut Up Cameron. There’s a Smashing the Blues Shut Up Gus Shirt, because of the relentless whinging.
The concept of State of Origin for my mind is safe as houses. It’s truly one of the most brilliant, exciting, throw up in a bucket from nerves games that Australia has to offer. So much is at stake.
The Queensland team do not just win each year, they dig in, they fight til the death, they don’t complain, they just do their job and know that the team they are a part of has their back.
If you haven’t got goosies reading that last part, then you must be from New Zealand.
QUEENSLANDER!
9.05PM Read Cameron Blewett’s response HERE, sorry Firebirds, I couldn’t get you another supporter as another Queensland team worth following. Apologies too to Nora and Michael for my lack of sense of humour and spelling errors. Both have now been fixed and I GARFSNORT on both of you. Thanks for your invaluable feedback.
Who the hell is that Cameron Blewett fella? Pfft Salad Spinning Malingerer!
To repetetively use the term Rugby distracted me from whatever it was he was trying to ramble about. Are you sure he’s from Ipswich? Great home to Alfie Langer and Australias biggest Centrelink Office.
To confuse Rugby League with actual Rugby is like comparing checkers with chess. One elevates brainless twits to movie star status t’other for people who can think for themselves.
’twas a great game though, made so by the rivalry between the two states. To dilute this rivalry by including other states would see it’s death knell much like the loss of the AFL’s long lost state of origin series.
AHAHAHAH Rodney. Thanks for your great comment!!
