State of Origin is Back and better than ever!

[Pie 4 Life]

In a BigFooty first, Pie 4 Life has decided to begin a new gaming story, under the State of Orgin format between 8 teams:

Victoria Metro
Victoria Country
South Australia
Western Australia
New South Wales
Queensland
Tasmania/Ireland
Indigenous/NT

I will be using QOOTY. This isn't the most accurate game, considering the randomness, but none the less I will try and report on each game as accurately as possible.

This will be a league of 14 rounds (hopefully) where each team plays each other twice.

I am hoping to find 8 coaches on here. I do have a NSW and Tassie/Ireland squad as well as QLD if it is too tough for people. The rest should be easy though. All Indigenous players are contracted to the Indigenous team, otherwise, it's all normal.

Metro: Geelong, Adelaide, St. Kilda, Collingwood, Port, Richmond, Essendon, Melbourne VIC players,
Country: Hawthorn, Bulldgos, Kangaroos, Sydney, Brisbane, Carlton, WCE, Freo VIC players

Sure. Just pick a squad of 25 and you're set. When I say Indigenous/NT it basically means you have Joel Bowden and Matthew Whelan as well, who hail from the Northern Territory who to my understanding don't have indigenous heritage, might be wrong though.

And yeah, happy_eagle you can do WA.


Metro get all the Vic players from Geelong, Adelaide, St. Kilda, Collingwood, Port, Richmond, Essendon, Melbourne to pick a squad of 25

while

Country get all the Vic players from Hawthorn, Bulldogs, Kangaroos, Sydney, Brisbane, Carlton, WCE, Freo to pick a squad of 25.

Not to mention, Franklin was named in Garry Lyon's Indigenous All Stars team the other day.

Peter Burgoyne grew up in SA, Adam Goodes grew up in VIC, they are still indigenous.
