It’s a big night tonight. State of Origin Rugby League! Queensland vs New South Wales, Maroon vs Blue, Canetoad vs Cockroach. I don’t have time to go into it, but it’s dinner with the home group, then around the corner for us all to watch the game. Yes, we’re postponing our studies on Holiness to idle away before the television in a night of high drama.
Then, tomorrow night, it’s on to Australia vs Greece at the MCG! Who can complain with two great nights of football lined up? Must work hard on my assignment in the available hours… only 16 days to the World Cup!

my only solace over losing Game 1 is that it wasn’t TOTALLY embarrassing.
Scorewise, no. Actual game play and skill? I think it was embarrassing. Queensland really did nothing of great note. Sure, outscoring NSW 16-3 in the second half, but I wasn’t overly impressed. If anything, I say such a heartbreaking finish to the game will weaken the younger players’ resolve. I hope I’m wrong, but I predict a NSW whitewash in Game 2.
