C'Mon The Blues

[lloydslights]

The tension is mounting. 

The blue iced cakes are made.  The copious blue sausages are spewing from makers.  The reporters are interviewing.  The build-up is spine tingling.  

The physios have done their job.  The coach has done his.  The legs will pump.  The chests will thump.  The second clash is about to begin.

Are you referring to the Carleton Footie club? They're my second-favorite team, after the Cats..........

Think the OP means -Thugby--you know the bumsniffers-not the AFL.........Richo.

Good morning from me to you.  

Tonight we have game 2 of a best of 3-game series. Rugby League match.

State versus state - Queensland v New South Wales.  Canetoads v Cockroaches. Maroons v Blues.

It's a little while since my home state (NSW) has won a series.  We won the first game.

The game is for real MEN.  Clashing bodies without padding.

Hi Richo.  

Yes it's the State of Origin.  Someone will surely correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe the "origin" relates to a players first representative match within a State.

Talent scouts forage amongst school boy matches to find "potential".  They must have ventured to the Islands to have made some of those finds.  The boys were offered contracts to play for the Scouts home team..  Their physical ability can be daunting for the opposition.  

Now, give me no more difficult technical questions to answer.  

My mind is on a Blues win.

Mornin Crikey...............................whats cooking lol.

Reckon Lloyds Blues have more chance of winning a

game this year than my Blues in the AFL.................................Richo.

The rule for state of origin is the state where you play your first graded game.......

I could sware I saw Greg Inglis run on in the second half for Macksville 1st grade side in 2003 (it's in Queensland too)

In fact i have just broken all land speed records in that I just left Bowraville bottom pub ( it's in Queensland) and made

it back to Valla NSW in 10 minutes.... A mere 480kms from the NSW QLD border.....

....and an average speed of 2880km per hour..... crikey the little 3 cylinder 660cc Daihatsu Mira was wound up......

BTW there is a signed Greg Inglis Australian jumper and QLD jumper in cases on one wall.....If the publican does not

cover the case with the maroon jumper at state of origin time it takes the cleaner forever to clean the glass............when

I left there the "crowd" was just getting revved up

Must have been something in the water.... back in the 80's in the Nambucca Valley I went to school and played footy

for and against Greg Inglis's dad, Wade and Matt Gilletts dad Peter, at Macksville.

Both their sons now now play for Queensland and Australia and were born in Bowraville (Kempsey Hospital) and

Macksville NSW respectively.
