MY BLOOD RUNS BLUE FOR NSW!

i thought i better post this now before the game just in case we loose(im a true fan i know we will win!) because if we do ill be soo angry i wont be able to write it.

like many ppl in nsw and qld tonight ill sit down to watch the first of three state of origin rugby league matches. these are the games to watch if u only watch 3 matches all year. state pride is on the line. that being said the worst thing about the days leading up to the game it highlights how many nsw ppl who barrack for qld. ahhhh i cant stand when this happens and often wonder why? i was born and breed in NSW for me there is no other option but to go for the Blues. but i know many ppl who were also born and breed in nsw and go for qld. there seams to be many reasons why they do this.
1. they follow broncos (other disgusting sin for a nsw person to do!)
2. they live close to the border. ( still u live in NSW!)
3. their family/parents relocated to nsw so gave them no real choice but to follow qld growing up.
4. mystery reason, they just follow qld.
i understand that is hard to go for a state team that is full of players you dont like and the other team is full of players who u love, i understand families push their team choices onto children. so these two reason may be excusable, i said may!

state of origin for me is the game you want to play, i think its bigger and better then test spot, playing for Australia, state of orgin is a better competition then a test match against nz or uk. i believe this so much i have said if i was playing footy and was given an opportunity to sign first grade, an event i have longed and waited for, but the team was broncos, storm, cowboys, warriors, i wouldnt sign as it means i would not be able to play for NSW. and if i did sign with them having no choice but to sign then was picked in the QLD side i would turn it down, even though this would cost me a spot on the Australian team. i could not play in a maroon jersey

another thing i love about the game is the state bet between the premiers, this years bet is the loosing state's premier has to have a signed framed jersey of the winning state hung in their office for a year. at least that only effects them, i would hate to loose the bet where we have to fly the qld flag on the harbour bridge.

anyways one last thing to say GO NSW!!
