Their grand final is State of Origin. Outside of that no one truly cares about their clubs, not in the same as AFL supporters.

Yeah usually if you win the first game you are a good chance for the series but the neutral venue throws a bit of a curve ball in there so the cockroaches would still be a good bet even though history says otherwise
Wayne was on a different planet to most people.
Played indoor cricket against him, and worked with him very briefly .
Yeah, I played a bit of cricket with him, but mainly in the same footy team, also done state schoolboys and Teal cup together.
Lurking for rumours on the Hawks trade/fa thread and blown away by their mindset. I know they won 4 flags in the last 11 years and still have Clarko but **** me do some of them have their heads in the clouds/somewhere worse.
Their team is ancient and more than just Cogs away from a flag but you wouldn't know it reading their board. I know all boards overrate their own (including ours) but they are next level. Crazy stuff.

Loving the Barty Party - anyone not watching at 5pm tonight with a beer in hand wouldn't know a good Friday afternoon if it hit them in the head
Always been a marketer's dream rather then the GF tbh. State of origin is unique for NRL, as it's the only competition of such in the major codes. AFL got rid of it, A league have Melbourne Victory v Sydney FC as their marquee, NBL doesn't have one. So its a real territorial divide isnt it
I played a few years footy over in Coolangatta and even the AFL club would be full on origin night , it's like the derby x 100*
*Except the good guys win more often

Worked in PNG for a few years - the whole country stops for Origin. Hard to get anyone (blokes at least) to come to work either on the day or the day after.
Interesting culture around Origin - everyone outside NSW - even the ACT! - goes for Qld.
Where did you work in PNG?
Funnily enough Cooly had a program for getting young PNG lads over to play footy , excellent athletes most of them really strong for their size and quick AF
Always thought Freo should expand our boundaries with recriuting and PNG would be as good a place to start as any

A couple of stints - both based in Moresby, but with a bit of traveling.

We would have to target the Papuans and Islanders - the Highlanders are built for Rugby League!
I spent a month in Moresby one weekend.
A great effort by Australia in the Cricket World Cup last night. We are as good as any other side so there should be some fantastic cricket during the finals. England would be favourites, India right in it and Australia next. Pakistan and the West Indies are both capable of going all the way too.

That is not looking likely at the moment.
still at work and missed it! That is an amazing performance!
In other news - would be great to see toronto win tomorrow and go up 3-1 against the warriors. They would be underdogs but if they win it would be amazing to see them clinch it on their home court. OH CANADA indeed!

I'd rather the eagles win than Geelong, Honestly. I never want to see Selwood captain (courageous) a team to a flag, or Dangerfield win one.
