You're delirious to think that you have anything over us. We have won the past 6 years in a row. Nothing you can say can trump that.

What about the fact QLD passion/spirit started when QRL was very strong? QLD fans had 60+ years of rivalry AND then the "big shots" who had gone to Sydney also came back to a QLD squad, yet QLDers accepted & vehemently supported the QLD team.

I think that shows the tribalism theory is poor.

Point is, Coxy is no where near as passionate about Origin as someone like AP or Queenslander. Not even half as passionate. That's proof that not all Queenslander's are too cut about a loss either. Everyone is different, including people from NSW.


That is why I said GENERALLY speaking. I know where you are coming from Rock, but as a whole... SURELY as a whole... QLD fans seem to care more about Origin than NSW. NSW fans will get behind the blues and so forth, but it isn't the be all and end all for them... where as... QLD supporters seem to get cut more when they lose and beat their chests more when they win....(So in theory, if you get EVERY resident in QLD and EVERY resident in NSW....)


Like you said yourself... we're the best winners and losers. I won't deny that.

I don't deny the guys like AP and Queenslander are more passionate about QLD and Origin than me.
I still think I'm more passionate about it than you though, Rocky. You seem to think the way to show passion is to act like a dickhead on a forum, post fake pornographic photos of Queensland players, and completely change your personality to condone violent acts on a rugby league field provided it's done by someone in a NSW jersey.

Quite frankly, you're not passionate at Origin time at all. You're just a douche.

This. Passion isn't trying to be an Internet hero just to stir. Douche is an understatement. The fact that the admins have to watch all of your posts around admin is pathetic, not passion. AP is a douche a lot, but at least the admins don't have to monitor most of his posts around Origin time (or ever for that matter).

Anyway. You can't hate QLD that much. 10 Years ago you supported them. You support the team that represents QLD's biggest city, and you visit here quite often to visit QLD's world's best league stadium.

I hate what Origin does to the club competition. When QLD lost game 1 in 2006 I did hold out some hope that if NSW won the series again that there might be some serious thought given to reducing Origin or moving it in the schedule to have less impact on the competition. Short term pain for long term gain. As it was, QLD won and so did the Broncos so I ate my words (for a while). I've never been happy when NSW win, and never will be.

I still strongly believe that the club competition should run uninterrupted to Grand Final day and then Origin come after that. I have very few supporters there :P

But to suggest you are more passionate about Origin than me is blown out of the water by what Nashy keeps reminding you of. You used to support QLD. You can't change states and then claim you have passion. You can't have been happy when QLD won Origin in 1998 and then turn around and be angry about it 14 years later.

You don't have passion. You don't have loyalty. You just have bluster and go out of your way to annoy people to show how much of a Blue you are...it's a joke. You're a joke. It's all I and most of your mates can do to not block you on Facebook or ban you from here at this time of year.

Quite seriously, Broncoman is less annoying than you between May and July.

The proof is in the pudding as far as how much of a douche Rocky becomes during Origin time. That picture of Steve Price in his Sig is just over stepping the mark IMO.

It's not over stepping the mark. It's funny because it riles up QLD'ers.

RIght Rocky.

Truth be told, I think most NSW fans would put a fist into your stupid head if they knew how funny you thought a player's injury was funny. All the NSW fans I know think what happened to Price that night is despicable. Except you.

I would be more than happy to rile you up, by banning you until a month after game 3. Because truth be known, you'd whinge like a little bitch.

While you think we're riled up, we know we aren't, we just think that during Origin, your fun is pathetic.

Anyway, you missed a part of my post.

1. You support a QLD team for no reason apart from... you support a QLD team.
2. 10 Years ago you supported QLD.

Like I said. You don't have passion, much like the shitty team you support this decade.

You're full of it Rocky. This isn't about you trying to fish for reactions, this is you being nervous about a 7th year of pain and mockery.

You lack the wit and smarts to retort on equal terms, when your precious NSW'kers are shown up for what they are, and you use the only way you know to try and erase the smile and confidence of the Qld supporters. I would say you suffer from "small man syndrome" and this is a classic case of a tremendous inferiority complex... The more successful Qld becomes, the more Qld'ers mock your state's RL team and annihilate them on the field, the more outrageous and abusive you become, just in the idle hope that people may get distracted from your state's failure and focus on the outrage.

I dare say, if you supported the Sharks instead of a successful team like the Broncos, you would be a douche all year as far as RL is concerned. You have no clue about the difference between light hearted / witty banter, and abuse / insult.

Get your head out of the sewer and give us an actual fight, or is that too much to ask?

It's such a meh topic, I was devo when Price got knocked out only because it was detrimental to the team. Can't give a flock about it now, even when it's made into a sig, if anything it's kind of funny and worked as a bait.

Kinda like when people get on the hate of Todd Carney wagon about his piss drinking, it's hilarious. Just like Myles releasing a food baby in a corridor.

What else do you expect from a NSWmen?

They reckon they're clever when they make banners about player's mums then crack the sooks when the player gives it to them.

I liked the time Andrew johns won the fight against Jamie Goddard. The aim of a fight is to run away and hide behind the ref, and then have a lie down on the ground when you couldn't run away any more, isn't it?

Must be, since "QLD get owned in every fight" apparently....
