2019 State of Origin

2019 Origin

The Blues are favourites but as a Blues fan I don't take any solace in what the bookies are saying. QLD get the first 2 games as home games, the Perth crowd will be very much in favour of the Maroons, and I notice the bookies are NOT giving odds on QLD being 2-0 after the first 2 games.
Its all up to the NSW big boppers, if they can control the game and pace then Blues should win, if they don't I am worried the likes of Munster and DCE with Ponga in support are too creative and crafty for our halves.
BUT, TOMMY RAUDONIKIS on League Life last night will be the difference. Freddie would have had the team watch that and they'll run out onto Suncorp (Lang Park) to do it for Tommy. Look out QLD!

My prediction/wish NSW 18 dft QLD 14.

Mary O'Brien - 'The Pride of QLD' Poem

This poem was given to Petero Civoniceva last week and now proudly hangs front and centre on the teams support board. We met the very talented Mary whilst on a 2 week tour of towns west of Brisbane. A tour proudly supported by AgForce and Lifeline. Thanks Sarah Due!

The Pride of Queensland

From the Corner to the Cape, and south to Coolangatta,
There’s an undercurrent topic, that dominates the chatter,
It’s when we show our colours, united in one dream,
The swelling pride of Queensland, as we talk about Our Team.

Regardless of our differences, our wealth or occupation,
Deep pride and mateship surges, to form a dark red nation.
We cheer you from the grand stand, the pubs or home alone,
Our colour stirring in our soul, our veins flow pure Maroon.

From the ringer out near Camooweal, to the farmer on the Downs,
The shearer out at Eulo, and in all the outback towns.
We cheer we shout we groan, as you take the heavy hits,
You epitomise our passion, and we love you blokes to bits.

From Burketown to Banana, and out west to Aramac,
You’ve got the power of Queensland, standing right there at your back.
From Brisbane out to Birdsville, and Roma to the bay,
We cheer our team and raise a beer, let’s make those roaches pay.

Can you hear the cheers from Croydon, or from Capella Pub?
And the many watching from their homes, way out in the scrub.
The folks up there in Proston, now they know how to cheer,
At Leyburn Pub they hold their own, and there’re never out of beer.

The TV set transports us, into that scared ground,
We watch and feel each tackle, with a pride that is profound.
We carry you in spirit, with passion we will vouch,
As we all become a footy coach, an expert on the couch.

From Bowen to Bedourie, from Rocky to the Reef,
Queensland will be roaring, as you give those Blues some grief.
From Talwood up to Townsville, they’ll make a vocal fuss,
A state united as they yell, ‘for Christ’s sake shut up Gus!’

So we’ll be cheering for you fellas, we’ll make it nice and loud,
By pulling on that jersey, you’ve already made us proud.
Our hearts they swell to bursting point, with that Queensland pride,
We’ll cheer until we lose our voice, for our mighty Queensland side.
