CSIRO REPORT: NSW-born people that barrack for QLD are "weak" and "deadset flogs"

I'm the same but for different reasons. I remember watching NSW flog Qld year in and year out with Queenslanders having to play in the NSW Blue. It was so good to see Queenslanders playing for Queensland.

Pftttttt qld isnt even a real state vanilla face

And NSW stats in same categories Aaron?

Ironic, considering you don't have to really be from that state to play for the state. So the same goes for supporters doesn't it?

Heres some statistics for you queenslanders 1. Of the 179 players to represent QLD, 32 were not born in QLD - that’s 17.9% 2. 9.5% of the players to represent QLD were born in NSW 3. Non QLD players have contributed 246 combined games to the cause since 1980 and 166 of these were be players of NSW birth (87 of the 166 contributions by NSW players to QLD teams resulted in a win for a winning percentage of 9.8%) 4. In 7 of the 33 full three-game series, QLD fielded a team solely made of Queenslanders 5. In the 33 full three-game series, QLD has had a greater percentage of non-State born players in its team than NSW on 23 occasions 6. In its 18 series wins, QLD has had the greater percentage of non-State players on 14 occasions, revealing a 77.8% dependency 7. 17.1% of the total amount of points scored for QLD were scored by non-State players (13% were scored by New South Welshman) But dont let real statistics get in the way of a good story :) Go the Blues

Its because people cannot stand players like Gallen and Farah and want to see them smashed. Now their gone a few might come back.

Do the NSW team count as flogs when they're main sponsor is Victoria Bitter? At least QLDers are patriotic. What about the NRL itself and hosting NSW/QLD Origin at the MCG? All sounds very flogish to me.

Do they also vote for one nation? Seems to be serious issues of panty wetting in Queensland. Supporting the opposition and voting in fear of scientists and exploding Muslims seems to be gripping the state. Needless to say if Pauline ever takes over the rest of us won't be paying to build the wall around Queensland but we'd probably all chip in to pay for the sea water to be pumped in once its done.

Are you for real. I have never heard such rubbish in my life . We are able to back which ever team we want and do not need to be labelled because someone thinks he knows better than others. I was born in nsw , the first game of nrl I went to was in Queensland so I chose the broncos as the team I support. I have met Sam bacco and consider him a friend. Grow a brain mate and remember we are all Aussies and it is our right to choose who we want to support.

Thats because of flogs and glory hunters like yourself.

We dont care Gavin! The QLDers live and breath it we can take it or leave it. There are more New South Welshman going for QLD than QLDers going for New South Wales

I have never met someone who describes themselves as a New South Welshman or a New South Welsh Woman. Queenslanders on the other hand often identify themselves by their State. State boundaries are fairly meaningless and arbitrary. so it is hard to take loyalty to them seriously. Go Queensland.

We pretend to not care because we cant buy a series win lately. It's the only thing we can hold on to! But deep down, we care more than QLD. Jumping ship because after realising NSW don't win as often as QLD. You sir, are a flog of the highest order.

Can you verify whether people in Western Sydney care about AFL, or whether people in Melbourne care about Rugby League?

Flog identified

Im born and bred in NSW and go for QLD. Atleast QLDers care about Origin where here NSW people can take ot or leave it.. most leave it

Couldn't the fact all the individuals tested were from NSW account for the character traits of cowardice and mental weakness noted by the study?

A tedious little article - and, despite trying oh so hard, not funny.
