Scared To Lose

 

Tonight is State Of Origin #2 but sadly I won’t
be making my way to Suncorp Stadium with a
view to witness the Beast – NSW Captain Paul
Gallen, receive his justified come-uppance; it’s
trite thinking anyway, his exposure as a pugilist
of no repute asks why Queenslanders should
give a jolly damn. We’ll best focus energy on
scoring points enough to comfortably win

Have to say Paul Gallen’s hysteria engendered
‘team-fervour’ drivel sincerely isn’t sending The
Maroons dire messages NSW’s on a war footing.
Err, gee whiz, are they serious? Wonder if they
think we’re intimidated by all that spittle – or is
it they’re still the ones too scared to lose?

four players, two from each team, were sinbinned for participating in a

impasse where NSW would have been at least one player down…
