haha! I think T'eo comes in for Gillette too and Taylor stays. I think I read the same article as noisetheory and Bucking Beads, but I read it like Mal will give Taylor another chance - or maybe it was a different article? Any links?

This is absolutely correct - go back through every year and you will see it time and time again - look at when NSW whinge and then see the outcome of the next game. Refs in game 1 got hammered for doing their job, exactly (as you very truthfully point out, even through Harrigan said they were...

That's the whole irony of the video some NSW fool put together (which I posted on the previous page) - they are just plain hypocrites and want to turn attention away from their own sinister ways by always trying to make out QLD are cheaters some how. What you say is absolutely right, it's never...

Yeah, it's always hard to forget that biff in 2010 near the NSW sticks after the bomb (think it was 2010) - if there was any mongrel it would have come out there.. I think the best we can hope for is hard hits and hard runs and if he does that then should reap enough reward. Funny but, just...

haha.. whoops! Hopefully some people hadn't seen it .. or perhaps I am the last person in QLD to have seen it.. some one obviously spent a bit of time putting that together, must have really wanted to get their message across hey? :) Exactly right QUEENSLANDER - you should see all the crap...

Ahh ok, cheers nat. Looks like Hook is planning to miss 7 players for the game Friday night: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/nrl/origin-depleted-broncos-up-against-it-to-beat-sharks/story-e6frfgbo-1226410463583

Just read that apparently the ARLC are committed to making a rule before next years SOO which will see this whole eligibility issue cleared up. Also, found this video made by NSW obviously - though it's a big biased, still made me laugh .. haha "Queenslands, eeh-vree-where"...

Tamou OPEN INVITATION for NZ Born to follow in his foot steps and play Origin http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/james-tamou-hopes-his-experience-will-lead-to-more-new-zealand-born-players-joining-origin-ranks/story-e6frexv9-1226410512562 When I voted and checked the voting...

If we are going to talk newspapers then that's a totally different ball game, SMH takes the cake there.. mainly referring to the NSW hierachy and coaching staff I believe. And as if they don't get an easier ride with the refs, just look at game 1 this year to see what they do if something...

If Taylor does get picked as part of the playing side then hope this is hard proof of his intention: http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8490495

Oh for sure, we lost game 2 for that exact reason (EDIT: this is not sarcasm) - we had it for the taking and didn't. I guess what I'm getting at is before the players run onto the field NSW has always had that advantage going into a game (the refs). The refs would be more mindful of making a...

No, you're a QLD'er so you don't have to waste your energy, even if you do complain nothing will ever happen. Only NSW can kick up a stink and a tantrum to actually get results. Remember last year when there was all the NSW media talk about QLD players influencing the refs - then you see...

Who was the other pretender? Maranta is definitely worth pursuing with as a winger in my opinion... unless he drops form a lot I think we might see more of him on the wing next year.

I think Broncs should have this one ok, but was it Carney and Gallen missing the game Cronulla beat Melbourne this year? Or was it just Gallen? Can't remember, have a feeling it was just Gallen. None the less, Cronulla are going to put up a tough fight I imagine by going on what they are...

I know you're not suggesting it, but could never imagine having origin after the grand final.. every year when that first cold whether is felt the first thing I think about is maroon and blue and that smell you get coming up from a frosty footy field. Cold part of the year just wouldn't be the...

haha! True! Maybe your avatar had something to do with it??

Can't find where I read the article now, should have got the link at the time - but I remember when reading it that it did sound like it was written 'south of the border'. EDIT: haha, AP must have been writing when I was and adds some pretty strong confirmation to the above.. I remember...

Exactly! And the Jennings decision was much easier to read/identify than the Inglis try, if you want to compare them. Maybe Nashy is right, more complaining might see more pressure on the refs - though I don't like it is there any other way? They don't seem to be able to do it themselves...

Yeah, that is a pretty decent point - many players do lift if they think there may be some focus on them for a spot. NSW even have their own City vs Country to help them decide for example... (yes, QLD team is more predictable presently, but when injuries come up like this year...) Is very...

Exactly, so why two very different results? It's so blatant that Ricky's sook carried so much weight... QLD team did not carry on at all like Ricky about calls in game two, why can't the officials just do it themselves 'behind closed doors'? If NSW were QLD in game 2, do you seriously think...
