[QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3408465, member: 9052"] I think there is a risk that it is falling back into a status quo like the early 2000's when NSW were on the brink of winning four in a row or whatever, and media were claiming that origin is dead. Qld then went on to win the next 8 in a row and 10 out of 11 series.... so to me it would seem origin is going well when Qld is going well, because it represents a competitive series. If Qld are unable to compete with NSW then I lose interest, because we don't have the numbers compared to NSW to drastically change the team and turn the tide... the series becomes predictable and a non-event. When NSW are winning they don't seem all that interested either, because it's just expected that they will pick a strong team and win... but when they're losing they're pissed off and the sheer number of players they have allows for complete revamping of their team to come up against a strong Qld side and creates question marks about who will win. I don't really think origin needs the players to come out and antagonise each other in the media... it really needs Qld to be strong and in form. I'm more interested in this series than I have been since CS9 retired and that's probably because I think Qld have a strong'ish team that is in form and I rate Billy as a coach. If we get blown out tonight and look trash... then my interest in the series will drop dramatically... and it wouldn't matter if Gal and Gordie were trading barbs in the media or Tino was threatening to flatten Haas next time he sees him... that shit doesn't interest me. The fans from both sides hate each other enough that it creates anticipation away from media... if one fan group has zero chance of winning then they're going to lose interest. [/QUOTE]
