Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3277485, member: 1899"] The build-up to Game I has always been trepidatious. Fans don't really know what to expect and with all the new rule changes it's just taken a lot of the wind out of the sails. Typically the only time Game I has any real build is when you see a raft of changes and you get some real shock selections like Alfie in Game I 1987 or all the changes Mal made in Game I 2006. With Freddy coaching his forth series now it's kind of gotten stale down his end while for the Maroons it's difficult to bounce back from the feel-good 2020 series so quickly. It has an air of Game I 2002 about it where it feels like Queensland are lambs to the slaughter with only a few facets in their favour. Otherwise there is almost this perverse sideshow aspect to the build where fans just want to see how badly these new rules ruin Origin. [/QUOTE]
