Congrats to Thurston on equalling Gary Larson's Origin record of 24 straight games. And a big cheerio and good luck to Petero in his final Origin. Absolute champion player and champion bloke.
The hype and discussion in the pre-game show about this shit as well as the 'greatest game ever' bull always make me want to vomit.
Just got home from 'a quick 9 holes' with my brother. More like 3 hours and the most part if a carton later.
Perfect pre game. I'm about to go to the club to have the last schooner I'll ever have with being able to say 'To think I've never drank a schooner as origin champions'
I'm actually for the first time in this run concerned about losing. It's not that I don't think that we have the better team, it's just that I think that Mal's such a dumb coconut that he could easily fuck it up.
