I'd say that you can't handle a level playing field.

But 3 NRL clubs vs 10 NSW + 1 ACT. Still isn't anywhere near fair! :thumbsup:

Nice of you to acknowledge that without the NSW players Queensland can't win.

Ah Ah Ah! NSW based!

You guys had poker machines and signed Queensland players for decades.

Here's some encouragement: that feeling of hopelessness that is starting to embed itself in the NSWailers' attitude will eventually manifest itself as a need for redemption at all costs and when you reach that, then and only then, will you just begin to understand the Queensland psyche.

We'll lose eventually, feel bad about it for 5 minutes but nothing will change ... we chase our holy grail every year as if it was still 1980 while the Blues defend what they seem to think is their god given right.

Paul Kent: State of Origin hatred spills over into Kangaroos

ORIGIN is over and now it is left to Australian coach Tim Sheens to repair a team shattered into a thousand pieces.

Sheens has the large job of repairing the damage between NSW and Queensland players in time for November's World Cup. He is going to need every available day.

Rivals New Zealand and England benefit greatly after the damage this Origin series has caused.

The irony is that the great lesson of Origin- from the bonding nights in early camp to the victory lap after the bell - is that the closer the team the better they expect to perform.

Good luck with that in the green and gold.

NSW and Queensland have been going at each other for more than 30 years now.

It was ugliest in 1985 when NSW and Australian coach Terry Fearnley sacked several Queenslanders and replaced them with NSW players, leading to fractures within the team and new rules stopping one man from coaching both state and country.

This year's series is as ugly as that ever was.

Paul Gallen thumped Nate Myles in Game I and Trent Merrin cold-cocked Brent Tate in Game II, and players came like Indians over the hill to join the fun both times. Feelings between teams, already simmering by then, raised a level.

Queensland and Australian captain Cam Smith went to pains to deny it before this year's Anzac Test, and might well believe it, but Smith is seeing it through Queensland eyes.

The NSW players certainly don't feel they are treated as equals in the Australian camp.

The Blues still remember the Queenslanders in the Australian team starting up the Queensland team song after last year's Test win over New Zealand.

They usually sit at separate tables in camp, which a testy Smith denied before this year's Anzac Test but which the Blues certainly dispute.

Gorden Tallis, on Triple M's Saturday NRL coverage a week ago, asked the most pertinent question this whole series when Greg Bird was interviewed over the phone.

"This hatred?" Tallis asked. "Does this carry on into the Australian camp as well? Is it true hatred between the states?"

"Mate, I don't know whether the hatred carries into the Australian camp," Bird said, before relaxing into the question.

"There's definitely an elephant in the room when the sides are eating and, I guess, socialising in the camp.

"I don't know if anyone else has said it but it's definitely there. I'm not going to comment too much on the details.

"I wouldn't call it a hatred in camp but it's definitely a hatred going on now."

In football speak, that's as big an admission as you get.

During this year's series a NSW player was in a private conversation, telling how he didn't care if he ever played for Australia again.

It sounded absurd. why would anyone knock back that chance?

But his reason was simple: he didn't want to play with the Queenslanders.

"Isn't that just Origin talk?" he was asked.

"No way," he said. "I hate them. They're so f ... ing arrogant."

That was realised in Game II, when Merrin hit Tate. It was the culmination of many things.

Merrin was motivated to hit Tate not only because he just saw him shove Gallen, but because by then the Queenslanders, well in front, had begun taunting the NSW players. Laughing at them, sledging them.

Merrin is close to the last player in the Blues camp most expected to start a blue. Yet he felt the respect evaporating and decided to take some back. Rightly or wrongly, depending on where you're from.

Gallen's motivation in Game I was a belief that Myles continually fouled the NSW players with his formidable forehead. And for more than just this year's series.

Again, the punch was a decision made on more than the spur of the moment.

Part of NSW's frustration is the Maroons have completed one of the great cons on the sporting public.

As someone who has a special appreciation for a well-worked rort, it's hard not to admire the Maroons' skill at changing public perception.

It makes sense that after eight years in a row the Maroons are clearly the better team, and are supremely confident, and yet their public reputation remains that they are still the underdogs, and humbly so.

The convincer is their continual spruiking of those most admirable of values, such as togetherness, and pride and hard work.

The Blues see the reality as far different, and the ugliness now lands in Sheens' lap.

This seems rather fitting for this thread. :p
