State of Origin

[telsor]

SOO stopped working because the people running the sport stopped getting behind it and let the coaches decide things.
If the AFL said there is one SOO game on yearly and said it’s the premier event on the footy calendar, told the clubs and coaches there will be huge fines for not backing it in and put their mighty media machine to work then it could well and truly be what it should be.
NRL don’t have all states compete and neither should AFL, it’s simply WA, Vic and SA playing it yearly. Winner plays and hosts the following year.
it is the AFL that has not backed it in that caused us to get to this point, never ever listen to coaches as they have only self interest at heart.

SOO stopped working when non Vics started treating it like Vics had all along....Club first, SOO (distant) second.

In part this was because the non Vic states started having their own teams in the top level comp and those clubs started treating them the same way as Vic cubs had all along.

having their own teams in the top level comp

& seeing all the best play as FIXtured.

After the 1990 final series WA fans fell in behind Michael Malthouse, taking the Cup out of Vic was front & centre,
numero uno !!

The Big V is the best jumper in the league, and it's not even a close contest.

Do all the all star guernseys have NSW on the top just under the collar? Despite the fact SA (& ACT) were also badly affected by the bushfires...

Is it just me or does the All stars look like they have the illuminati symbol on their jumper? Deep s**t.
