If you don't care about technical eligibility then you shouldn't really be arguing. That's all it comes down to in the end.
You said he moved when he was 10. That's not his entire childhood. That's 10 years of it.
It's kind of like you supporting QLD then turncoating.

Being off your face 24/7 =/= charismatic.
FACT: Mal has ensured six straight series, a feat that no other coach has been able to achieve.

I'd hate to admit to ever having lived there, but maybe I lived in NSW on and off for a few years as a youngster...and I didn't even give a rats ass about NSW/QLD nor knew anything about a rivalry.....so there you go. The "lived in NSW as a little kid" argument is invalid.

His idols growing up where Shane Webcke and Steve Price.
And even though 83% of his childhood was in NSW, it's not that relevant if you aren't that into league for most of those years. He didn't start playing til he was 9 years old. If you don't follow Rugby as a 0-8y.o., NSW and QLD are just states to you, they don't have any real meaning the way they do in Origin. When these things began to have meaning, it was obviously when he was in QLD.

The most impressionable age is by far the early teenage years (between 10 and 16 y/o). It is at this time that most of your character is formed, and is directly influenced by the world around you, which makes Kennedy's choice and statements perfectly normal.
LOL at the 83%. Since when do you stop being a child at 13 y/o?
If anything, you're the heartless douche for supporting the Maroons first and then turncoat to the NSW'kers well after reaching adulthood.
(although it could be argued that you haven't reached it mentally or physically... :finger:)

Exactly! I didn't understand most of the decisions made when I was ten let alone the repercussions of making them. It was only until my mid - late teens that I really came to grips with it.
I also lol'd at the 83% comment. I was a child until I could legally drink, vote and gamble - 18. Though some would argue that I am still a child wearing a man suit.
He's no more 'heartless' than Sterling, Nagas, McManus and Inglis, or even you. Quit your whinging blew.

This just shows how you know nothing about the culture within Queensland Rugby League and it's why you are a massive turncoat and typical of the state you support.

Even if that did happen, which it won't, you'll have Mal Meninga winning 6 Origin series as coach, out of 7 attempts. If that's a dickhead then fair dinkum what word would we use to describe your posts on this forum?

I admired him greatly up till 2010 when he remarked that NSW care about skin colour which offended me badly and his rubbish rant at the end of last year's series that showed his true colours. Thats a poor example considering he is an immortal of the game.
