The Grand Final is on Sunday! Saturday is of no consequence.
The Melbourne team is even in it and they do not get it.
I normally barrack for the Broncos but this week its the battle of the Origin Captains, Go Queensland, go Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk, Go the Storm. :2tsup:
Cheers

EDIT: Evidently Western Australians do not get it either
Are you sure that you`ve got the snake by the right end ?

On the Saturday game....Go Sydney, oh me, oh my, I can't believe I said that as a Queenslander....
On the Sunday game....I don't want the Sydney team to win but I can't for the life of me barrack for a Melbourne team as a Queenslander.....
Oh well, That's it for me stirring up the pot....Cheers, crowie

Hopefully Channel 10 will start becoming "Fan Friendly" and telecasting all the races again like Channel 7 did.....
Apologies for off the football topic but these days couldn't give a hoot about any football code....

That's understandable, Personally I follow the State of origin much closer than the home NRL club competition.Quote:

The last bastion of high level sport which actually means anything - IE people playing for something other than money, and selected by ability and eligibility to represent a certain group is Origin. Everything else, unless I have missed something is all money-driven.
But either way, AFL is just entertainment while NRL is sport

Origin has been bastardized by a set of cockamaney ( Can't do Irish spelling!! ) rules Forget it!!
Then just support the State of Origin Captain of your choice and hope his team winsQuote:

I thought the football season finished at the end of August as there were no games the following weekend.
As a Victorian, I hope a Victorian wins. South Melbourne, Footscray, Melbourne, Ford, Holden - all Victorian.

What a game. Let's see that beaten tomorrow. (And I'm not even a Bulldogs member.) Go Dogs
Yes Footscray just seem to have an edge over the Sydney especially in last half of the last quarter....Quote:

All that needs to happen to beat that is for Cronulla to lose. Who are they playing again?Quote:
