State of Origin State of Origin: Series XX [2025] - Expressions of Interest

[sabso]

We got enough for an England team? So far it’s me, Chipmunk , Qlive Waterhouse, Qonnor Idun and Callum Q. Brown

 

[TRUMAN#1]

I'll play, but only if there's a Tassie team.

Resume? I won everything in the s36 finals series.

Well I am not sure if there is enough of us Tasmanians here to get a team.

I am sure the 4 or 5 of us could still win against a full team though.

Depends who their ruck is

You would only need 10 to make a Team

Ah GremioPower asks about an international team every season. There isn’t quite enough!

Put 10 players on your team and you have a full side.

Great minds.

There's a Tassie kit. That's the best I can do for you.

Let me know if you're interested in joining the Allies, otherwise I'll just let you photoshop yourself into this doing god knows what.

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

SFA Resume: Batshit Crazy, rarely understood warbler.

To confirm... Allies or Croweaters? No takebacksies.

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

Name: Jatz

Preferred State: NSW

Secondary State: VicM

Allies or Metro? Also no takebacksies.

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

But I don't wanna represent #VICBIAS, I want to represent NSW (somebody has to) as I renounced being Victorian years ago

Nonetheless, put me down.

Name (your BigFooty username): Scythe

Preferred State (VicC/VicM/SA/WA/QLD/TAS/NT/ALLIES/NSW-ACT/International): VicC (if I have to)

Secondary State (in case first preference is not included in the competition): NSW

Sweet FA CV/Resume (optional): I've played 106 games without retiring once

So Counts over Allies? No takebacksies.

 

[FootyBot13]

I call dibs AND shotgun, Scythe Welcome to the team.

Tbh I'd probably line up for Vic Metro if Tassie didn't have a team, I've been here long enough that it's kind of like home.

 

[James Colorado]

Tassie is part of "the Allies"; love to have you in Vic Metro!!

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

Yeah Tassie are part of 'the rest' that fall under Allies, so it would be Allies or Metro then.

It's your choice. Once you choose though, that's your team locked in.

No state swaps.

The Allies concept was and is a slap in the face to Tasmanians and to Tasmania's role in the national competition. To be grouped together with Johnny-come-lately also-ran states was outrageous. If I were a Richo or a Lynchy I never would've agreed to play.

Vic Metro it is.

 

[Dingster]

TheInjuryFactory what happens if player x chooses against the Allies and down the track a state/international has enough peeps for a standalone team?

 

[Braklet]

Me and Strigoi... probably not enough for a full team.

C'mon Strigs, do some SOO!

Let's say Allies.

It's a good question Ding, I think if a new state/team was somehow able to muster up enough active players for a series we would obviously have to put our heads together.

I have kept a fairly accurate record of players who have nommed for sides not currently in the comp (international, Qld, NSW ACT etc) so there is some tracking of rough numbers and an idea of who may look to switch.

I think it's very unlikely to see the comp expand unfortunately, and the majority of those who would look to move are Allies as it stands, with the odd exception.

What's your thinking?

Yup I think that's the common sense approach. A new team is a fork in the road and we make a case by case decision based on sign ups. Just want to get some transparency ahead of the game.
