In what can only be described as an insult to Barrett and his Blues team-mates, Wednesday night's Origin dead rubber at ANZ Stadium has descended into a farce with an avalanche of pre-paid tickets being auctioned on the internet - some at the ridiculous starting price of 99 cents.

NSW legend Steve Roach said it was imperative the entire state got behind the Blues in the hour of need - or risk forfeiting the right in the future.

"I would tell those people selling tickets, you don't jump off your team," Roach said. "They're doing their best, they're just playing against a good side at he moment.

"Maybe we need to take it up to Queensland for people to realise that you have to get behind your team.

"Maybe we need to be shocked into following our footy side."

Former NSW hooker Benny Elias said fans wanting to sell their Origin tickets should be careful what they wish for.

"Origin has been going for 30 years ... you've got to be very careful that we don't ruin this," Elias said.

So not only can Sydney not even sell tickets to this game, not only do they have fogs and players begging fans to go support this great game, but even nsw origin greats think the fans are a chance of ruining origin by not showing up.

Pull ur socks up u piss weak blues. Support your team u stupid *****, or i think we might be seeing 2/3 games held in qld from now on

We should have 2/3 games in QLD for the next 2 years minimum.
Is it decided where origin is played next year? Hopefully it's not two games at ANZ, they don't deserve it.

Next year it's 2 games in Brisbane.

IMO all Origin games should be played in Brisbane. Nobody in Sydney cares.

Just need an airline to jump on this and give QLD supporters cheap flights down icon_thumbs_u

I thought maybe the chance of Stopping a whitewash would be enough for the fans to get behind their team.

Next year will be the telling one for Origin imo, If QLD win the first game will the NSW fans bother?

LOLZ. The only time ANZ has problems being filled is when NSW have lost 5 straight series. Are you surprised that they are struggling to sell tickets? Seriously? If you're surprised then I have to LOL @ your ignorance and idiocy. It's a DEAD RUBBER. We've lost FIVE straight series. Our coach is a retard, the selectors are retards, NSW fans are frustrated and we're sick and tired of the effortless rubbish they have put in for the past 5 years. Did I mention it's a DEAD RUBBER????? :roll:

Crowd figures show that NSW don't have any problems filling ANZ stadium during origin, so why on earth would you allow QLD to have 2 origins for the next 2 years minimum?

Exactly right, NSW will embarass the game if QLD win again next year and they struggle to get a 50k crowd...
ATM I can't see NSW being competitive again until at least 2012 so until then give Suncrop two games a year, it would make the game look poor if we had a half full stadium for the games premier event.

the fact u think dead rubbers are any different to other origin matches just proves my point, nsw suck balls

 

[Coxy]

And yet QLD sold out in 2003 when it was a dead rubber at Suncorp Stadium...and it was one of the best atmospheres I've ever experienced.

I was there for that - 'twas the loudest rugby league crowd I've ever heard. Been to 5 Origins and it was the best atmosphere of the lot, even eclipsed the Matt Bowen golden point intercept game.

Um they ARE different to other origin matches. It's the only match where the result has ZERO bearing on whether you win the series or not.

And if you think it means nothing to the players, that you're supposed to be there supporting, then you are a lot stupider than i thought

 

[QUEENSLANDER]

its no different when qld is facing a white wash... so why should it be different down there?

Because you guys haven't had it for 5 years in a row.

I'd much rather lose a series 2-1, than be embarrased 3-0. When you look at how many whitewashes have happened in origin history, it's certainly quite a rare thing.

To say this origin game means nothing is riduclious in my opinion. Every origin game means something on it's own.

 

[Anonymous person]

Yep, but NSW haven't had a half full stadium for 10 years and I'm pretty sure origin has been going fine for the last 10 years.....

Nice try though.

not half full, but not full either.

game 1 2008 was only 67000. thats after NSW won game 3 2007 too.
game 1 2010 was only 68000.

if QLD had a stadium that held 85000 or whatever stadium australia holds, it would sell out for every origin, even if we had lost for 5 years in a row and were facing our third whitewash in a row.

tl;dr - nsw is shit, QLD is the shit.
