C'mon guys, I think the mexicans deserve some real credit here:

They've finally managed to just scrape through and get themselves a series win by the skin of their teeth, and it only took them 9 years of trying. Well done guys!

If they keep playing football of the same caliber and quality as they have shown the first two games this year they should easily be able to keep up their current standard and win a series or two every decade.

NSW would be considered Americans, QLD Canadians and Victoria Mexicans. Get it right

2013 was decided by a 2 point margin & 2012 by 1 point, skin of the teeth argument is invalid, this has been coming. Also take away all points scored for QLD by Inglis or Folou and you dont have a 8 year streak.

Game 1 was a cracker of a game that was marred by terrible reffing in the final 10 minutes. Game two was shit by both teams

This describes my feelings in a way that my hung over mind can't articulate. Thank you kind Sir.

Why would we be taking away points scored by Folau and Inglis?

No they went to dream world once so that makes them Queenslanders.

Like last night they talked about ingles being pound of his heritage, I laughed and said so proud he is playing for the wrong team

Inglis - first senior game at 16 for Newcastle Hunter in New South Wales and his first under 18s game for the Brisbane Wombats in 2004

I have no idea's about all the rules around which state a player must play for if they get to choose :wacko:

Also what about Fijians, Islanders and NZ ? Should they play Origin at all ?

I remember seeing a funny map of Qld that seem to take in the whole south pacific including Vic and parts of NSW.

His heritage is Indegenous

Off the top of my head Peter Sterling, Ben Elias, Bradley Clyde, Timanah Tahu, Willie Mason and Peter Wallace. All not from NSW all played many origins in winning series for NSW all because of the same eligibility criteria you all want to bitch about now.

But you will keep whinging about it one way, and ignoring it the other.

Was a good passionate game to watch, but refs took the edge of it. So many bad calls. So much niggle. Don't usually see qld do that. Usually a nsw tactic, spearheaded by Gallen.

I guess you play like them and end up losing by them.

So this is the best team qld have ever produced? And nsw beat them! I like the fact qld supporters focus on the last 8 years only and never before then, never back when qld and nsw played against each other since 1908. Never back when nsw beat qld 19 years in a row in the 60's, yes it wasn't called "state of origin" but it was qld verse nsw. Got give credit for the teams back then when it was brutal and not a penalty riden whinging comp from both sides like they play on the ref these days. And also Shayne Hayne should never ref a game of league ever again!

The qld supporters that give shit about nsw playin at their home ground badly and only just winning, game one was on your turf and u lost so says abit about how qld played on their home turf. At least we won!!

Can't wait for game 3 to make it a white wash guna be tough but will be good to see it happen!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
