So, what's everyone's plans for tonight? As always, does everyone in a blue shirt have the number for suicide prevention in their phone already?

As a Raiders supporter I am well used to the shame of losing so its all good. I am just going to watch the game with my girlfriend and her brother.

The thing with rep sports is that if by fluke of time a bunch of the greatest players in the most important positions on the field are born about the same time (Billy Slater and Cameron Smith were even born on the same day) its very hard to overcome that. Its not like NSW can sign Greg Inglis to play fullback.

My usual Origin party. At work with match centre in a small window because England sucks.

And then the eternal struggle of wanting Queensland to win because ~Melbourne Storm Players~ versus wanting them to lose because Broncos and feeling sorry for the Blues at this point.

When he was talking about the feeling of anticipation I'm pretty sure his frame of reference was the time between dropping an E and it taking effect.

Why can't they bring kickoff forward half an hour? It's not like they're doing anything useful with the extra time.

DCE might be better. The problem will be going 70 minutes with a three man bench.

Can't wait to see the Storm's next halves pairing of the NRL cheerleader of the year and a corporeal form of Craig Bellamy's rage.
