This night has finally come, hard to believe, it’s true It’s origin football fever, and it’s coming after you, Flags and banners are waving, everywhere you go, Parties at every venue, as the crowds begin to grow.
Whether you are going to the game, or a gathering at your mates
You will be left in awe, as you watch these Origin greats
Queensland are formidable, they live and breathe this game
New South Wales, need redemption, they are feed up with the shame
Both teams will play hard, it will be Origin at it’s best
So give them your support, to help them in their quest
When they enter that hallowed ground, the crowds begin to roar
And the sirens sounds the start, of the yet another war
The casualties will be many, and the blood begins to flow
But they still go on relentless, to stand and face their foe
You must admire these heroes, they endure so much to win
It seems to be all worth it, when you look at their cheeky grin
That’s State of Origin football, there’s nothing to compare…
Let’s toast the boys of Origin,… raise your stubbies in the air !
State Of Origin Football Poem
It’s Origin time again, the series starts in May
It’s Blues against Maroons, with three huge games to play
Queensland are the favorites, they are hungry to compete
But the Blues are out for blood, their want to knock us off our feet
Mal and Ricky have picked their teams, with eighteen men a side
There here to play some footy, for the honor and the pride
Lockyer is the captain, a job which makes him proud
As he inspires his fellow team, and the vocal Queensland crowd
Gallen is the other bloke, who leads the Blues,.in this great fight
New South Wales the underdogs, they are out to set things right
80 minutes of football, with the blood, the sweat and tears
It will be the greatest game, that we will see in years
So grab your mates, let’s party, wear some Maroon or Blue
Shout and cheer, show your support, … your state is calling you !
Birth of Origin Football Poem
The first game was in Sydney, nineteen hundred and eight,
It marks the birth of Origin, the clash between two states
26 men played football, in a bid to win some fame
As most of them played union, so they had to change their game
Queensland got a thrashing, the score was 43 Nil
And the Blues wins lasted 13 years, before Queensland made their kill
These stalwart men of rugby league, played hard to turned the tide
With Queensland winning the next 5 straight, they soon regained their pride
We owe these blokes a cheer, these men with hearts of gold
As the game of State of Origin, may never have been told
A hundred years have passed us by, and the legends come and go
History books, rewritten, as they prepare to face their foe
The game still has excitement that comes with every try
It’s Blues against Maroons; “Queenslander!” comes the cry
So let’s us all keep the faith, whether your Maroon or Blue
Support the boys from Origin; Your State is calling you!
