Not sure how many of you caught that game, but there was one particular incident that just keeps sticking in my head. Just to make clear, I am not a fan of either team, I don't mind both teams too much so there is no reason for bias here from me.
In the first half, Humble looked certain to...
I suppose marching off to meet the refs is not counted as whinging... it was like he was happy as long as everyone knew the blues 'should' have won, but when the refs said the Hodges try was legit, he suddenly became very upset and wanted to meet them etc...
If he didn't have that last second hesitation he very well might have... we were all watching the replay guessing Tate's thoughts..
"Oh.. the cheek is right there... should I.. should I... nah, could get sin binned.. BUT WHAT A CHANCE! Ahh stuff it."
QLD team need to have a planned media article for even year to run pre-origin calling Taylor a whimp who doesn't run hard lines (like what Tallis did), that is the only way he gets rev'ed up. Otherwise he just seems to lul himself into this comfortable, relaxed type mode and progressively gets...
WHAT!?!??! LOL!!!!!
Here is the banner for all those who love it so much :)
P.S They were complaining about it being on channel 9 in full sight of however many million viewers, so what do they do? Go and let another million viewers see it in the article :)
Here are some head line updates:
I couldn't believe I was reading this... again.

He's off to meet the REF bosses next week after...
lol ...
Plus, really hoping we meet them in the finals... that would be a game to save forever.
In the opp 20 Gillette always looked his best when running big stride in balls back against the ball flow.. even using it as a decoy would potentially open gaps because other teams must be aware...
"What I said re Gillett vs. Taylor is that "AT THEIR BEST", I prefer Gillett to Taylor, and that to me Taylor is NOT Origin material."
Above is exactly what you wrote in this thread (and had alluded to previously), to which I answered:
"And finally, I think you are wrong once more, because...
Yes, Origin is one thing - this year one has been more useless than the other of which I think it's clear was Gillette.
But I was saying you were wrong in one other comment you made - you were saying that Gillette as his best is better than Taylor at his best, to which I answered by saying that...
Just want to list my favourite moments - there were quite a few to choose from.
I think like mentioned in another thread, the Farah stuff up would have to be at the top, but closely behind it:
1. Cronk tackle on T-Rex (few of them) - when T-Rex saw Cronk infront of him he wound right up...
Now that it's 7 years straight it will probably be illegal for any QLD player to exist next year.
(Dexter: Told you the more you watch it the more it is a try)
I think Coxy was talking more about the booing when NSW took the stand after the game than DT's bird. But as I said before, I see no problem with the booing as long as it's on the same day as adrenalin is still running etc. Next day we can be good sports again.
It was a difference of opinions, yes. But it was going around in circles and I said the only way to know for sure is see Gillette's performance - because we have seen Taylor's over a few years and have something to compare to.
The same could be said for Taylor, his form needs to improve to...
Taylor apologises those who couldn't handle 'the bird'...
