SoO 2016

So another belting for the Blues coming up. Tried and tested class of the Maroons will be far too strong.

Not sure about that, but we will certainly be clustered around the TV (and heater) tonight.

Blues will win by 8.

Wha...???

NSW 1-12 is probably the best he could get. The markets seem to think it will be a pretty even contest.

Will probably throw money on the draw.

Surely Gay Guy is a dubber...

The refereeing has been dreadful in this game.

Worst reffing I've seen.

Were the Blues on the wrong end of said reffing? 6-4, ay? Easy to see how some dodgy reffing may have cost one side or the other.

sounds like it was a match of attrition with sfa brilliance.

so the usual then: Qld win, refs are terrible, Ch9 coverage is biased and hopeless.

Even horrendously biased umpiring couldn't help NSW this time.

Pathetically whining about 'a disallowed try' that was at best a foot short of the line ... a new low for the pastel scum.

Did NSW ever get back 10m in defence? They seemed to be back no more than about 7m at any stage

Deary me. Even when you win, you Chippies squeal like stuck pigs.

Not that he needed it but JT's rep as a high quality human being just grew more last night - at the end of his post match interview on the field, he adds this:


“I just want to say a quick hello to the Aurukun State School,” Thurston said.
“There’s obviously been a lot of trouble up there, so to all the students there, I just want you to believe in yourselves and keep turning up to school.”

Meanwhile, Sam Thaiday was making jokes in his interview about losing his virginity.

LATSB etc

Wally the Sydney game is the same every year. They have one one year as a result but it's a bit like Indian cricketers playing and winning at home when everything is in their favour and getting smashed every time they play without favourable conditions and Reffing. Except NSW don't even win at home as reliably as the Indians. After 10 years of almost unbroken failure you think they'd learn.

nice one
