I guess the 3rd State of Origin game will clash with some cricket match in Wales.
I'll have to do some recording by the look of it.
It will probably be disappointment all round anyway.

Re: SoO3 Wednesday night, the decider.
Got the two TVs lined up. Luckily there's half an hour of cricket before the SoO starts; I confess I will only be watching SoO with half an eye this time, though I hope the good guys win at home, preferably by miles.

Melbourne and Maroons rallying behind Cameron Smith after Alex McKinnon's 60 Minutes interview where he bagged the shit out of the Storm skipper for his berating of the ref in the wake of his paralysis, and lack of apology.
Oi Fromberg, can you change the title to "State of Origin thread" please.

Rightly so. Disappointing stuff from McKinnon and Ch 9 who didn't give Smith a chance to give his side of the story. He's been given some dud advice from somewhere.
And I understand that the Smith is unlikely to given Ch 9 any interviews on Wednesday.
FWIW - here is some footage of an incident in 2013 where McKinnon claps after he broke McLean's jaw and knocked him unconscious.

Aye, have to agree, MrK. All a bit unnecessary from McKinnon. But as the paralysised one, he gets to claim the high moral ground (so he thinks).

FFS:
Queensland's State of Origin defence has been thrown into disarray with Anthony Milford, Ben Hunt and Dylan Napa among eight players to be suspended as the fallout from the Maroons boozy training camp continues.
Hunt, Napa, Milford, Jarrod Wallace, Edrick Lee and Chris Grevsmuhl join Cameron Munster and Valentine Holmes to be banned from Origin this year after the Queensland Rugby League confirmed the players broke curfew last weekend.
Holmes was fined $1412 for obstructing police and causing a public nuisance during the boozy session. He was also stood down from Cronulla's Auckland Nines squad.
The camp, which was Kevin Walters' first since taking over as coach from Mal Meninga, was meant to fast-track the development of the state's best young players.
But instead it has derailed the representative careers of the eight players who were confirmed on Friday to be banned from Maroons duties for 12 months.
"Obviously I'm disappointed with the actions of the players but in the same token we need to protect the Queensland Rugby League State of Origin team," Walters said.
"What they did in the circumstances that was explained to them and the environment they live in now, they just need to be making some smart choices and unfortunately for them they didn't and we have to act accordingly. I'm more than happy with the honesty the players showed but obviously extremely upset about what has happened.
"They know they made a poor decision and they're quite upset about it. You have to be responsible for everything that you do. If you can't be responsible then you don't drink. We're trying to protect the brand of Queensland Rugby League and State of Origin. I just felt if these players couldn't understand the clear instructions given to them then it's probably not their time at the moment to be involved in the next level."
Walters interviewed all players individually following the drama at this year's emerging camp, with QRL managing director Robert Moore explaining how they reached the decision.
"Our initial focus was on Valentine Holmes because of the involvement of the NRL Integrity Unit," Moore said.
"As we suspected, there were other players who broke curfew and we have now gone through a process of interviewing players. Due to pre-season commitments, we've only been able to finalise that today.
"To the players' credit, they've come forward and because of the importance we place on our QAS Emerging Origin program, they will receive the same sanction as Cameron Munster."
Moore said in light of the sanction imposed on Valentine Holmes by Cronulla and his ongoing commitment to working with the club's Welfare and Education team, the QRL would apply no further sanction in addition to his 12-month ban.
None of the eight players banned has represented Queensland, however the Roosters' Napa was Queensland's 18th man for game one of last year's series.
Brisbane Broncos halfback Ben Hunt hasn't played State of Origin but has represented the Kangaroos. Luckily for Queensland, they have plenty of talent in the halves with Johnathan Thurston, Cooper Cronk and Daly Cherry-Evans at their disposal.

I just tried to ask Siri what "girt" means and it took me several times not to get it to give me the definition of "good".

That was late in the first half.
The biggest problem for NSW is that if Darius Boyd was a NSW player, he would be their best player and first picked in every game. At best he is No 5 for Qld.
St George won 11 Premierships in a row with 3 Immortals in their team (and a near 4th with Provan). Qld have 2 certs in JT and Smith and maybe a 3rd in Inglis and in earlier years, Lockyer. Their dominance is no surprise.
