do you know what ''state of origin '' means

The idea of playing an origin game in england will not happen, or the fact that there is no need for it to happen.

But the swipes at origin from English RL fans crack me up, as if the RFL wouldnt fall all over themselves to have a similar concept that attracts so much publicity and revenue from just three games.

I am aware of what it once was and what the two states have turned it into, incidentally when it was first revived it was only done so on the understanding that it wouldn't be a trial for international selection unlike the sad state of affairs it is today.

i wouldnt suggest one of the 3 live games is played there.

more an exhibition game in the off season.

if it mean losing one of the real games then i wouldnt be a fan of it.

too valuable to be wasting on heathens
