When the final whistle’s blown on the third and final game
And the Blues are looking round again for someone they can blame
And Big Mal’s patting shoulders saying “Fellas you’ve done good.”
And the Queensland spirit’s flying high, just the way it should
When the shield is in our keeping for yet another year
Once again I’ll thank the footy Gods that I was born up here.

Wazza

And I thank 'em I wasn't!

Good one Wazza. Wanna put that in the Magazine in the State of Origin page?

Neil

How does that happen Neil?
Wazza

It just did, as long as you are agreeable. I am the Editor.

Neil

No problem Neil. Use it any way you wish.
Wazza

Neil I'd like to add a one word last line. Queenslander.
Wazza

What's that ancient warrior saying , .Warren. " One who puts his armour on should not boast as one who takes it off "

Haven't heard that one before Neville. I'm hoping the maroons don't need any armour but they'll probably wish they were wearing some if the blues prop Andrew Fafita hits them. He's one big unit.
Wazza

It means don't parade yourself as the winner before the contest has even begun, you have to win first..if....... Message for the Maroons and their, oh so confident supporters .
