-------- hits our screens again, with huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge rivalry between the two teams!
"Hate against mate!" as Stevo once described it.
I've watched it for years, but never had an allegiance to either the Maroons or the Blues, and as ever, I hope it'll be 1-1 after the first two games, to set up a blockbuster of a decider in the third!
I just wish we had summat over here that even faintly resembles what Origin gives us in spades!
Bring it on!

Just unbelievable. As usual.
Love watching the NRL, light years ahead of SL in terms of skill and entertainment. But Origin is nuts, there's nothing to compare to it in World sport for me.
As I mentioned in my opening post, I don't support either team, but I'm defo a Maroon tomorrow, coz if they prevail, it'll set up a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge decider at Suncorp, for which I'll be totally neutral!
Bring it on!

Awesome performnce from Billy's Boys in the second half to set up the blockbuster I selfishly wanted!
Eight from eight by Sam Walker with the boot, to win the m-o-m award, putting the icing on the Maroons' cake.
Will be wearing my neutral shirt again in three weeks' time!

Yes, remarkable second half from Queensland after being behind at half time. Six converted tries, before a consolation from NSW.
The intensity is incredible, there's nothing quite like it.
