Origin 2011-Game One

I know it has been over for a few weeks but I have been unable to get my thoughts on paper as I have been laughing too hard at the comments by supposedly sane and level headed persons, many who work for The Rag, about how NSW 'wuz robbed again!', when in fact they just failed to score more points than QLD and according to my limited understanding of the game, that is what makes you lose.

The pre-grame entertainment?  Again diving as low as it could it brought out a young girl who couldn't hear the music and was thusly way off time.  When I saw the little red headed girl come out to sing the national anthem I realised that Melbourne has NO IDEA about the greatest game of all.

The game--I enjoyed it but two main things quickly:

1.The match was worth watching alone for the sight of Thaiday backing away from Pearce as Pearce gave it his all in the stink. Thaiday was not used to having a bloke square up front on, Sam usually sees the backs of the opposition jersey as he runs in three minutes late behind a wall of his own players. He is a cat.

2. Sons of Anarchy started again last night and it is a show I do enjoy, but it clashed with the Origin coverage. What to watch? It was a dilemma but Blues captain Paul Gallen made the decision easier for me when he asked Toddles if he would like to take a shot at goal, from forty meters out. Ha! Toddles should NEVER be asked his opinion on anything; he should be told what to do at all times and never be allowed to make a decision. We have seen what happens when he thinks for himself, Goulburn is still cleaning up.



I told you I have little understanding of the game and this post just proves it.
