State of Origin II (no spoiler)
Another excellent match. Can't say more without spoiling it for those in the heathen states who will be watching later, so I will say no more.

Re: State of Origin II (no spoiler)
Oh yeah - here is another crap Origin joke:
Ricky Stuart and Michael Hagan are talking and Hagan points out that his team are smarter. "I'll prove it," he says, and calls Lockyer over. "Hey Darren," he says, "I have a question for you. Who is your parent's child that isn't your sister and isn't your brother?"
"Easy," says Lockyer, "that's me."
Stuart is impressed and decides to test his players. He calls Andrew Johns over. "Who is your parent's child that is not your brother and not your sister?" he asks. Johns is unsure. "Can you give me a little more time on this one?" he asks. Stuart agrees so Johns races off and decides to get help. He rings all his team mates, but none of them know, so in desperation he calls Billy Slater. "Easy," says Billy, "the answer is me."
Johns races back to Stuart and says "I got the answer - it's Billy Slater."
"You bloody idiot," says Stuart, "it's Lockyer."

Re: State of Origin II (no spoiler)
I must admit I'm finding this whole origin thing interesting. It reminds me of the rivalry between England & Scotland in proper football. Its amazing QLD and the Scots have (comparatively) such good records given the natural superiority of their opponents..... :scared:

Re: State of Origin II (no spoiler)
Mrs spalen & I were watching and discussing wether the Gabba is the same place as the suncorp stadium - I reckon it is ? .. Stunning 80,000 people went to see that - cant imagine an england vs scotland game getting 80,000 people turning up for round 2 of 3...

No the Gabba is completely different, they play gAyFL there not football.
Anyway Qld were a joke IMO.
NSW deserved that win.

Re: State of Origin II (no spoiler)
Wondered if anyone out there might be able to answer my question.
I'm a huge RL fan in England and, like most RL fans in England, I'm from the north. Having moved down south it's quite clear that RL gets little/non-existent media coverage and therefore little/non-existent interest from the general public.
I was just wondering if any English people who hadn't really been exposed to RL in England (and were maybe even a little biased against it) have got into it since moving to Aus?

Over here I watch the state of origin - which is about as "into" a sport as I am ever likely to get

Nope, I can't get into it. Its too 'stop-start' for my liking. I do take an interest in the state of origin result. But I can't watch the the matches, too boring
I'll maybe watch the last 10 minutes of the last match to see the culmination of it all, and the celebrations.

Being a southerner I followed soccer all my life and enjoyed watching that. I must admit to missing it a bit, as there is no coverage as far as I can see on Aussie terrestrial tv. So I figured I would have to find a new sport to follow, RL so far (in the 2 months I have been here) seems pretty face paced and exciting to watch. The state of origin has me hooked and I have watched a couple of Brisbane Bronco games on the tele. I don't really get the rules at the moment, but am hoping that this will come with time.
