After narrowly losing the first State Of Origin game in 2019 the New South Wales Blues have made a lot of changes to their side. Some changes have been forced by injury, while others are pure selection decisions. In the lead-up to the selection of their team for game two the mainstream media ran rampant…

The first rule of Fight Club is that you do not talk about New South Wales… As the media froths at the mouth over the Queensland Maroons employing a “coaching whisperer” for $5,000 a day ask yourself this. Is employing a mind coach to improve a State Of Origin teams performance any weirder than thinking…

He is one of the hottest properties in the NRL and already in demand by a number of clubs looking to capture his signature, but Tevita Pangai Jr has his sights set on one thing right now, playing for Tonga in international Rugby League. Pangai Jr was born in Sydney and as such is eligible…
The 1990s was an important decade for State of Origin’s outreach, and its reputation for being entertaining, unpredictable and volatile on the pitch. The development of those crucial ‘competitive edge’ areas was catalysed by the first Melbourne-based game in 1990, and then further grown the likes of ranking kasyn by what is thus far the…
The NSWRL held its awards night last night that is basically the NSWRL’s version of the Dally M Awards. Various awards for NSWRL ran competitions were handed out, and among these awards were those given to New South Wales State Of Origin players for their outstanding performances during the 2015 State Of Origin series. Those…

During State Of Origin three Greg Bird was hit with a stray elbow by Nate Myles and hit the deck for a couple of minutes. It was something Paul Gallen made a bit of a joke about in the post match press conference. Mal Meninga also mentioned it in the Queensland post match press conference…
State Of Origin three felt like an exhibition game. You could very much tell the series was over just by the way the game was played. It was very strange. So now it is time to hand down the player ratings for State Of Origin three. Remember that my ratings system is on an all…
Queensland has belted New South Wales 32-8 in State Of Origin three. The Maroons dominated most of the game in terms of field position and quality possession and New South Wales rarely got at chance to attack the Queensland line during the match. While the Blues managed to hang in early, and even managed to…
I am going to show you where you can watch the 2014 State Of Origin series online and for free. I’m good like that! There are a number of ways you can watch State Of Origin three online. I’m going to show you each and every watch you can watch the game online no matter…
It is a fact that there is a warehouse in Queensland full of boxes. In those boxes are maroon colour t-shirts. On the front of those t-shirts is a big, dirty sticker that reads “9 in a row”. I’ll be thinking of those t-shirts tonight as New South Wales runs out onto Lang Park looking…
Perhaps I’m the only one but I find myself thoroughly unenthused about State of Origin III tonight. Now that NSW have slain the 8 in a row dragon there seems very little to get excited about. I’m convinced that I am not the only fan who feels this way as the breathless anticipation and fervor…
Tomorrow night will see NSW attempt to record a whitewash, rather than avoid one, which has unfortunately for us long suffering NSW fans, been the flavour of the past almost decade. In this series we have seen Jarryd Hayne become an absolute legend of the game, the emergence of young Hodkinson and Reynolds as a…
As we approach State of Origin Three, which in terms of the series doesn’t really matter, players seem to be putting their club futures at risk. Josh Morris has taken extraordinary measures to be fit for Origin Three after suffering a potentially season altering injury in the first game of the series. Luke Lewis will…
New South Wales have made only a couple of changes heading into game three of the State Of Origin series. The Blues are looking to clean sweep Queensland at Suncorp Stadium. So, is this the team to get the job done? Official New South Wales State Of Origin Team For Game Three 1. Jarryd Hayne…
Queensland has announced its team for the third game of the 2014 State Of Origin series. There have been a few changes due to injuries but surprisingly the side isn’t all that different from the team that last game two and the series. Queensland Official State Of Origin Team For Game Three 1. Billy Slater…
League Freakosaurus. That is what David Smith and the new NRL regime would have you call me. I’m a dinosaur from a bygone era that wants to watch a tough game of football that occasional see’s two dudes start throwing punches. It is no good for the game. It makes it hard to market the…
Somewhat surprisingly, after just one series loss after eight straight wins, there is talk of Mal Meninga turning to the next generation of superstars in Origin three. Although I severely doubt there will be sweeping changes, surely a dead rubber Origin game is the perfect place to blood the stars of the future. One enforced…
He is the highest paid player in the NRL, and at 31 years of age he isn’t getting any younger. As the North Queensland Cowboys fell to the lowly Newcastle Knights 36-28 at Hunter Stadium last night, I couldn’t help but wonder if it is time for the Cowboys highest paid player to concentrate on…
Queensland were gracious in defeat, New South Wales were respectful in victory. That was one of the main talking points coming out of State Of Origin two. Don’t tell that to former Queensland player Greg Dowling though.. Dowling has launched a full on attack aimed squarely at anything any everything New South Wales, admitting he…
We all remember the famous “Thats In Queensland” song that took the piss out of all of the players the Queensland Rugby League team selected from different parts of the world. Now the bloke that put that tune together has come up with a new one. An apology to Queensland! Check it out:

The game was watched by 2.682 million across across capital cities according to OzTAM ratings. This beat the 2.626 million that watched the third game of the 2012 State Of Origin series. OzTAM ratings…
New South Wales have won the 2014 State Of Origin series, and now it is time to look at the always controversial player ratings. Other places hand out player ratings so freely, they don’t make players earn them. Lets face it, last nights match wasn’t the best game of State Of Origin we have ever…
