They are horrible though.

What an idiot. Seriously rugby league have some ridiculous journalists... bloody disgrace this game sometimes. Paul Kent Phil Rothfield Andrew Webster These guys are jokes. Some of the filth they write, or some of the shite that comes out of their mouths. Seriously. /Rage.

Yeh, which isn't too bad but I still prefer Griffin's method. Griffin's method only works if you have a good start so we do need to find another way as well IMO. Personally, without disrespecting shitter teams... we need to find avenues where we can rest our players. It is defs something to...

Channel 9! What do you expect?

Indeed but after a few years, as someone said... no one would care. It's all about implementing and sticking with. It could be used as a mid season break... let clubs take care of niggling injuries etc. At the end of the day we can't have these garbage matches between clubs without origin...

100%. Surely there was to be a hard and fast rule on this. I just think there should be no kicking allowed to stop a try. Harsh but it is the only way to prevent any really dangerous stuff from happening. If you do it should be penalty try. Allowed to slide under, slide in and use thighs and...

100%. Coxy love your idea, but just switch it to mid-season. I know there are TV rights logistics behind all this garbage - but this is what should happen: Anzac test - (city/country if you MUST) --> I was a fan of this format this year Mid season 3 week break. Origin teams get...

Farah showed what he can do when Blues aren't getting dominated. TBH I don't think the 9 spot is a problem. I think it is good having a healthy competition between Farah/Ennis... however you pick one for the entire series when you do. I'd be more worried about Pearce TBH. The platform was there...

I found it hard as a kid to cheer against a team that had 8 or so Bronco players (back then), exactly like you said - I didn't know any better. I was just rooting for the players I loved as a kid. But once you give your heart to a team as a kid, it grows on you and it becomes the team you...

-> Hayne - Honestly, if I'm an Eels supporter, I'm dirty. If he had the right attitude he would be pulling those performances on a weekly basis. Definitely looks like a bit of a shithead though. -> Creagh - Hasn't performed in the origin arena and they made the right decision dropping him and...

Knock-on because he touched it wit his forearm and then it went forward. However should there have been a penalty if it was no try? TBH I don't think they even looked at the forearm touch (clearly they didn't). They just ruled Farah played at it, play on --> TRY. Harsh call IMO but it...

Agreed. Once this era ends... the numbers will sort themselves out and percentage wise NSW will have the better odds at producing greater players. Once they grab about 4 or 5 of these players... they will probably build a team around them and string a few series together.

Moot point IMO. Esp since you support the Broncos in the first place. I hate this argument. How about people who support Liverpool/Man U in the EPL? Once your heart is with a team, that's it. Never change. I started following the Broncs as a kid, and naturally went for QLD. Simple. My heart...

1 Origin game in Melbourne every 3 years for the next nine years then reassess.

I'm backing QLD to win this year. IF QLD win this year, I'd say 2014 will be their best chance. If they want to win in 2013... they have to win game 1. History has shown NSW are best when they win game 1 in QLD and bring game 2 back to Sydney... one day they will get the chocs by winning game 1...

That is why I said GENERALLY speaking. I know where you are coming from Rock, but as a whole... SURELY as a whole... QLD fans seem to care more about Origin than NSW. NSW fans will get behind the blues and so forth, but it isn't the be all and end all for them... where as... QLD supporters seem...

Rest Civo, Hodges, Thaiday for sure. Freshen them up for the back end of the season.

They have done this a couple of times before. I hate it!

Passion = blanket term. And IMO QLD fans care more about SOO than NSW fans - GENERALLY speaking. I live in Sydney and I think this is the case. NSW fans just don't care about origin as much as QLD fans. Myth? Disagree, history speaks for itself. I'm not trying to be a prick but I have...

Bingo. As Rocky said, bottom line is - conversions are an external factor. Essentially 'free points' as Rocky put it. Obviously we had some badly missed tackles and bad reads in defense, but that is going to happen. Parker's kicking has come up in this forum before, and has always been a...
