I just want to say that sometimes it gets me down the lack of heart that most QLD players play with nowadays. Apart from a select few that really try their best for their state the rest just seem to want to get through the game without being injured for their club teams.
Plus it really s**ts me the 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% bias the commentary always has towrds the NSW teams. There was quite a number of shocking refs decisions in the first half that went against QLD and there was not one mention of them by the so called impartial commentary team. Hmmmm let me see..... Fitler, Johns, Sterlo, Rabits, Vossy, Gould, Chief hmmmmm NSW much. Apart from the token mention from Micky Hankock at the start of the game.
But that doesn't take anything away from the lackluster performance of the maroons. They need an ex QLD Player/Legend to be there coach next year just to instill some pride into them and stop them from being such soft C****.
Fair enough if the game was close and the QLD boys put in a mighty effort but alas not to be.
Is this the end of Origin footy. I know when QLD got flogged a few years ago the same thing was said but obviously they have not learned a thing from it. It just seems that NSW is now playing with much more pride in their state and QLD could't give two tosses.
Anyway I'm just really frustrated at the mo. I love my league, but it just seems from that performance and the way QLD played that there is not too much more room for state of origin in todays game.
