Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3052858, member: 9326"] This is the unfortunate nature of being a Queensland Origin fan. Apart from the previous decade where we had an absolute once in a century run of talent all at the same time, Queensland will go back to needing basically everything to go right for them in order to win an Origin series. The facts are that NSW have an overwhelming advantage in player numbers, which means in general they have an advantage in overall talent. Queensland at absolute full strength can usually field a team that's competitive, but once you throw in a couple of injuries or you get a few shitty calls in a match, the gap becomes just too difficult to overcome. Nothing summed this up for me better than the judiciary last week. Even when NSW make mistakes and pick the wrong players (Sims) the judiciary still manages to work out in their favour and they get a replacement in Klemmer who is even better than the first bloke. Compare that to Queensland losing Arrow and being down to literally choosing which club football bench Prop is actually left standing to replace him. The gap between our best 17 and the guys below them is just light years in a lot of key positions. [/QUOTE]
