    Didn't realise it until tonight, but Docklands Stadium has the worst layout for a Rugby League game, the crowd looked like they were further away from the field than I was, and I'm in Queensland :D

    I love watching Origin but I really can't stand the bullshit from the commentators and pundits. You can guarantee that whenever there's a big hit or a high shot you'll hear the phrase "Welcome to Origin football!" like it's ok to throw punches or play dirty.

    I'm an NSW fan but I honestly thought Gallen should have been sent off last night for punching Myles. I was worried we'd throw away all of the hard work in the first half by having to play with 12 men for the rest of the game. To hear Laurie Daley come out and say "It was one of the great Origin moments as far as I'm concerned" was really disappointing. We shouldn't be proud of things like that, but that's what the cavemen like to think Origin is about.

    well lets get started then. first lesson.. when referring to rugby one is usually talking about rugby UNION. the game being discussed in this thread is rugby LEAGUE. 2 different but somewhat similar games. UNION actually gave birth to LEAGUE many moons ago after a dispute over players remaining amateur versus being paid for their time, which usually meant when they were playing, they weren't working their regular jobs. those opposed to players being paid were those from a socio economic background that could afford to not be paid for 'downtime'.

    second lesson: if you want to see a real scrum, watch rugby UNION, not LEAGUE.

    third lesson: find out what a scrum is. ;):lol:

    fourth lesson: scrums no longer exist in LEAGUE. refer to lesson 3 to find out why. ;)
