ok , probably only yorkyblue and superdumbassman will give a hoot about this but ......
it's state of origin time !!!
tonight kicks off the first match of 3 between mortal enemies NEW SOUTH WALES (blues)& QUEENSLAND (maroons) . with the dirty queenslanders having won the last 2 years us blues are desperate to stop them from claiming a hat-trick . it is my favourite time of the rugby league year and it doesn't get better than this , as you can see from the stats below the two teams are well matched . the games are ferocious and fast paced and often a punch up occurs
