A born and bred New South Welshman (who goes for the Maroons)

28 Jun 2012

It’s that time of year again. The drums are pounding, the crowds are building and the air is charged with tension, animosity and testosterone-fuelled aggression.

A born and bred New South Welshman (who goes for the Maroons)

I'm sorry, I only take responses written by adults seriously, or at the very least with the grammar and spelling of an educated child.

A born and bred New South Welshman (who goes for the Maroons)

Will, there are banjos now?? That's exciting. I'm always up for free merchandise. Knight Vision, I am loyal and will always be loyal, to Queensland and only Queensland. I certainly don't approve of any adult changing their team based on performance or a whim. You're pretty much stuck with who you followed as a kid; tied in with the passion is an undeniable amount of nostalgia. Did you start following NSW because you were conscious of it being your birthplace, or did you follow it because your brothers, your father or uncle or friend followed them? And the players you watched with them, that you pinned your hopes on, the likes of Andrew Johns and Brad Fittler with their superb kicking and passing games. It's always more about the past than it is the current crop, I sometimes feel. I know I still think of Gordon Tallis steamrolling down the field, of Wendell Sailor charging down the sideline and Shane Webcke and Petero Civoniceva dominating the middle. The point I'm trying to make is it's often not a choice you consciously make and where you're from shouldn't disqualify or discredit your allegiance.
