Yeah, I’m not too fussed with him doing it TBH. If you can get away with it good luck to them.Booney wrote:Allan Langer, widely regarded as one of, if not the greatest halfback of all time somehow gets away with spending the whole game on the field carrying a water bottle and directing the Queensland team from the back. How do they get away with that year after year?

The NRL make no attempts to be the national game, the Storm are the only thing keeping it from being NSW/Qld exclusively.
The AFL SOO would only work if it was SA/Vic and the AFL will never take that path.
Forget it, it's dead in the water.

Oh I know its dead mate. And i understand that the storm is just keeping it a NSW/QLD game. I'm just stating from watching last nights game live (as well as countless games on tv) of how good it is and how each player applies themselves in the games is just so amazing.
And you are right that it would only work if it was just VIC vs SA. But the AFL wont allow that. It just sucks that as a AFL supporter we don't have the chance now to watch a state of origin. I was fortunate enough to watch VIC vs SA at the MCG in 1995 and what a game that was to see so many legends of the game playing in a single match. And played with such passion and aggression even against their own club teammates. That game and so many more were marvels to watch. Just such a pity it stopped and died in the ass.

Well, the Storm and the Raiders, and the Warriors.

Canberra not NSW?
And the Warriors are a moot point when it comes to talking AFL / national game, we don't have a NZ foot print.

No, Canberra is in the ACT.
Brought up Warriors to emphasize that rugby league is played far more widely than NSW and Qld. (could also have brought up the professional league in England).
Rep footy - both Origin and internationals - is a whole different dimension to rugby league. Contrast that with footy - one professional league and that's pretty much it.

Oh come on.
There's 17 clubs, 15 of which are in NSW and Queensland, it's a two state game.
