Horrible was an overstatement actually, I can drink it. I just find it disgraceful that they sell it, watered down, for $8.50.

NORTH Queensland’s horrendous form will not cost Gavin Cooper his Queensland jumper, with the Cowboys back-rower set to be retained for Origin I.
As he prepares to face his former club Penrith on Friday night in Bathurst, The Courier-Mail understands Cooper only has to stay fit to clinch the Queensland No. 11 jumper for the series opener at the MCG.
The Cowboys are languishing in equal last spot, and their shock early season free fall has delivered a jolt to the Origin selection hopes of star duo Michael Morgan and Coen Hess.
But Queensland coach Kevin Walters is backing Cooper at a time when the Maroons’ back-row stocks have been eroded by injuries to Broncos Origin incumbents Josh McGuire (ankle) and Matt Gillett (neck).
Cooper was blooded by Walters in the 2016 series to help capitalise on his left-edge alliance with Cowboys champion Johnathan Thurston, who has retired from the Origin arena this season.
There were fears Thurston’s absence could have selection ramifications for Cooper, but the injury-ravaged Maroons are banking on the 32-year-old’s experience to help stave off a NSW uprising.
While Cooper’s Origin bona fides will be tested by a monster Penrith pack tomorrow night, he dismissed suggestions he is among the Cowboys’ 30-somethings who are on the wane as NRL players.
“We don’t come to training and watch the tape (of games) and think we are old,” Cooper said.
“There’s pressure on us all the time. We have set the expectations high because of the form we’ve set in recent years.

I don't see why would play Cooper, he's really not good without Thurston, which we'll discover in Game 1 if we decide to play him.
I guess we're going with the whole loyalty thing again, I assume McGuire & Glasby will race the clock and be fit, which means this'll be our pack for G1.
