I will give them credit, the amount of hype built around this years State of Origin has been incredible.

[sh10]

I'm even feeling hyped in Perth. That's amazing.

[parksey]

up the blues.

we're gonna get smashed tonight.

[pv4]

the only good thing about the state of selection is the bewbs show they put on at rathys bowlo.

[russjaybee]

Didn't even know the 3rd game was on tonight.

[parksey]

sure mate

[traffic light]

QLD bogans will out bogan NSW bogans. Lowes is the winner.

[Jeterpool]

Bulk buy flannos. Everyone's a winner

[plague]

Nights like tonight, you can see why people get in such a dither over this game.

Football has more tense finishes, more often tbh.

[parksey]

that's great man

cattle dog !

shit sport. it wasn't hard to predict that the end score would come down to a field goal, and that everyone would be hailing it as one of the most tense moments in "football" history, let alone state of origin. get the tin foil hats out or whatever, but the amount of times it's this easy to predict it's going to end up like that says to me that it's all a conspiracy to attempt to keep fans interested in a stale sport.

Funny you should say that. One of the last SOO I watched resulted in Queensland being miles in front at halftime. Roy & HG in commentary stated that NSW need to come back in the second half otherwise "only two men and a dog will turn up for the next game in Melbourne". Sure enough, NSW stormed home in the second half and since then I have seen SOO as the footy equivalent of WWE !!! Easy to bet on and win too !

this is clearly a picture of rugby union players.

[pv4]

league is an offshoot of union for bogans who wanted to get paid to grope each other.

and you're probably right - it's easy to tell it's not league because there's actually contact in the scrum.

doesn't change the fact that you posted a picture of rugby union players making out in a scrum.

[hawk]

lolz at bluesers. Shouldvebeen playin fifa.

My point was that for all the hype and bluster and rev up, for the game to be actually tense and close was a great success for the sport.
footy appeals to a certain type of fan and they got exactly what they wanted last night.

Was a promotional poster for Rugby World Cup 2007 which was held in France.

Went down to the knights game 2day, well stayed the night in Sydney (also went afl yesterday). Sat with a bunch of family down the north end, near the south's active supporters group "the burrow". These lot were absolutely going off today....felt a little bizarre hearing football chants going off a league game but created a good atmosphere.

No joke these lot were singing "take me home, botany rd' for the last 4 minutes of the game.

[Superdylan]

2 nice back to back wins by the Knights, cannot believe uate dropped the ball over the line. I do not know why league players put the ball down with one hand.

[hawk]

i was shattered

[Superdylan]

Off to the footy tonight, should be a good rape there.

[pistolpete]

Going well so far. Minutes played have just passed points against

Thread should be closed. Purely on the basis that its a lie and a falsity that the game called rugby league is awesome.


Perhaps it should be moved to a "rumour mill" section of the forums?

Nothing wrong with the game, its a small group of players and fans that give it a bad name. Sound familiar?

Small group?

You should come out to western Sydney and see the Parra youth team catch the train to their training sessions. Or perhaps the penrith youth guys? either way I am glad I am not female. Although being white anglo-saxon almost has the same effect only the abuse isn't of a sexual kind.

There is something fundamentally wrong with the game, and its that this small group of players who are beating women, king hitting people and using drugs they are the role models and are idolised.

Again, I think you will find that it is the players, not the game. And the inappropriate behaviour is indicative of young people in general these days not just rugby league players (not all young people as it is not all rugby league players)

sux. in the good old days you could stick it up any **** without any worries. now people just whinge. up doggies.

[Superdylan]

Not a bad win tonight, knights defense was good. Decent atmosphere in the second half for a 15,000 crowd. Crowd seemed to fire up abit after that bloke elbowed one of the knights players in the neck which I thought should have been a send off.

[Superdylan]

Manly fans yet again showing their lazy twits when it comes to following a team. Probs not over 15,000 there tonight at the sfs tonight and it is a knockout game. I believe free bus travel was thrown in aswell.

[plague]

Apparently Andrew Johns can now never die or something.
I would assume this is both a good and bad thing.

and it has something to do with this guy

Joey -> Messy

[Superdylan]

Had to be joey. Saw him pull off some crazy victories over the years following knights games. His organization game was amazing, and his kicking was sensational...(banana kicks :) ) Yes he took recreational drugs but I don't care.

Anyways grand final who we tipping? I'm going the bulldogs in a close one.

A court case is favourite

love this game...kick a bloke inda head and walk away like he was in the wrong ...:gent:

[Superdylan]

Have to admit south Sydney are playing some impressive football. Greg inglis is a freak. Pretty much ran 80 meters from a kick and just ran straight through the middle.

[GazFish35]

80 metres straight.
What an athlete.

[belchardo]

80 metres straight.
What an athlete.

he didn't explain the best bit about that run...he was carrying a ball at the same time!

:)

[Superdylan]

Very bad game by the knights yesterday. Had to pay $33 for the cheapest seat at the ground which was unbelievable :(

How can a game go from a 14 point lead to a 44-14 defeat? Would have even been more if canberra converted more of their tries.

Thats because it is a ****ing garbage game SD

Could have got into the NBN games yesterday for $8 and had a better day out

Been following the game since 1999 MFKS long before I had an interest in football, that didn't really come until the a-league formed. Haha actually went and watched lambton jaffas vs jets youth the other week.

Anyone actually heading to origin game 1? Thoughts on the lineups?

Only the muppets who believe the hype! There'll be a an Id's catchup game on somewhere, get to that instead

[plague]

Maybe if NSW can get 16 more chicks to come forward saying they've been punched out by a Queenslander they might be a chance.
