We need this sorted out ASAP.

Vic
QLD
WA
SA
Allies

are the 5 teams definately in?

I say add NSW to the Allies and have a Vic metro and a Vic country side. I know it's SOO but I believe that's the best solution.
+2 Vic teams, so we have 6.

WTF. I'm gone for two weeks and already this comp is being soddomised. Jayzus.

Don't friggin change the states and the comp I already had set out. Signing up for state of origin is just stupid it's a representative team. Give states recruitment zones (VIC = Tas, SA = Nsw, WA = Nt & Act, QLD = International players) and have the straight knockout cup otherwise it's just not going to work.

Having the Allies as a State in State of Origin is even more ridiculous.
I like that.

Only change I would make is ACT going with NSW, but far away from WA. 2 Vic sides makes sense.

Another point regarding SoO, should the captains or admin pick the squads? No offence to any SoO captain but they might just be (albeit unintentionally) a little biased towards players from their clubs, it's something that can't be help and isn't a fault so to speak but just some food for thought.

It'll be based mostly on statistics so...

Yeah but when stats are relatively close, they'd ultimately favour their own teammate (unless they hate them).

For e.g if you were captaining (not that there's a chance :p), wouldn't you pick BomberAus or TP ahead of someone like Blues_Man or any other gun batter?

Admin.

No offence 89.1% of the captains or 10/11 are alright just if one captain in particular, not naming any names, was to pick te squads me, dudeman and beaver's wouldnt get a look. You'll never guess who! :p ;)

Surely SOO wouldnt be the same without the best batsman in the league?
Yeh exactly. You've got to be kidding if you think you can dump NSW. Give us a little while longer before you even consider this Alkaline ...

You're right of course.

I'm an old hand at drumming up support, I'll ask people to look at my track record of proven success & then whip them up into a parochial frenzy so that they're willing to die for the maroon.

your best bet is to get behind me as my vc.
