Wholesome scenes as the Mavrik Geyer party kicks into gear after his NRL debut - and big win
The son of club legend Mark had over one hundred people in his supporters group as he ran onto the field for the first…
So the catch-cry for tourism in Queensland was always “Beautiful one day, perfect the next”.
It’s true, Queensland is a beautiful state, but when it comes to Origin season, my view on the ‘Sunny State’ changes a little.
In fact, my attitude towards those banana benders is positively stormy.
Full State of Origin wrap:
>> ORIGIN 1 MATCH REPORT
>> FULL ORIGIN RESULTS
>> Live blog and highlights
This is not due to the sandy beaches or the sunshine, the reefs or the rainforests. It is due to Queensland’s inhabitants – the Maroons supporters.
During representative season, the slogan should be “Tolerable one day, insufferable the next”.
So to that point, here is a list of some of things which I like more than a Queenslander at Origin time.
• Haemorrhoids
• Smart cars
• People who have mobile phone conversations in elevators
• Shopping centre car parks
• Nickelback
• Nickelback cover bands
• Men wearing Nickelback T-Shirts
• Alcohol free zones
• The fact 20 cent pieces weight so much more than a $2 coin
• Political debates in cafes
• The last season of Scrubs
• Cat videos
• Potholes
• Airports
• When people use the term ‘literally’ in the wrong context
I’d now like to invite New South Welshmen to add to the list of things they like more that Queenslanders at Origin time.
I’m imagining that it will be a long list…
What do you think Roarers? Have I missed something? Perhaps it would be easier to list things I like less than Maroons supporters at Origin time – it would be a shorter list.
Reckon you can pick the winning team? Build your own dream team with Draftstars daily fantasy and compete on any match. For great odds on the NRL head on over to PlayUp. Imagine what you could be buying instead. Set a deposit limit.
