The Time Has Come.

What's this I heard ; that 10% of Maroons players are actually born in NSW. Won't help them though, 10% is not enough

It's a fraud . . . greatest "Qlder" of the modern generation (besides Thurston) is Inglis who is a New South Welshman.

I think as a Mexican I'll stay on the fence this time . . . if the Vics played the bum-sniffing game they'd flog you both.

G/day Bob
I've never been much of a Rugby fan mate, the one exception is 'State Of Origin'

For some reason I've always barracked for Queensland without really knowing why,
it probably harks back to the time I spent over there as a Young bloke.

May the best team win.

Suprisingly Marty I agree born in Queensland play for Queensland. But in saying that the rules were different over the years and I know of some players like John Rhodes who played for Nsw and then for Qld when the rules on eligability changed. The pkayers alliegance is what counts I reckon . Gonna be a lot closer then a lot of people think but then not nany thought the baby Broncos would smash Newcastle last night either

I'm caravanning at present and not been forum active but had to jump in here. Great piece Bob.
QUEENSLANDER ... Go you good thing!

Game Day
The Blues they start to gather
They've put out an urgent call.
From every nook and cranny
they crawl out of the wall.

They have hit the panic button
on Mitchell Pierce rests their dreams
If that's the best they can produce
You are gonna hear the screams.

Down in Cockroachville they gather
But they've felt this fear before.
They know that Queenslands coming
to reclaim the shield once more.

For one year they've held the crown
but there is still no rhyme or reason.
Cause the canetoad armies coming
and it's cockroach feeding season.

Sydney town may be their den
but they know what is in store.
Cause no matter where we play them
The Queenslanders are gonna roar.

You can see the terror in their eyes
andmost have faced this fear before.
They think it's just a football game
but to A Queenslander it's

WAR !

[Terry]

Well Done Queensland

[Neville Briggs]

The Blues didn't lose, they just didn't get enough points. They could have, if it wasn't for that shabby trick of kicking over the posts at the last minute.
