Another Origin Blog

I just spent the better part of the last hour arguing with a friend over origin. She kept telling me that State of Origin was rigged in the sense that, usually, one team with win the first and then the other will win the next one so it builds up game three.

I spent the hour trying to convince her that whoever loses game one comes out in the next game knowing that have to win and play with more passion.

I think it's about time for a white wash. Even the supposedly great QLD team haven't won all three games since this QLD domination started.

My question is, does anyone think that state of origin is rigged? If either side won the first two games then hardly anyone would show up for game three.

  • Yes, it's definitely a big conspiracy by everyone involved with State of Origin and the players themselves so that they can sell a few extra tickets in the final game. How'd you see through their lies?
    • It's hard ti portray sarcasm online. If you're not being sarcastic i apologise. But like i said earlier, even in the QLD dominance they still haven't won all three games in a series which leaves it open for a decider.

  • Haha, I said to one bloke (expert) mid game, "gee, Reynolds is solid" and he goes "yeah he's a good 2nd rower"....
  • Series have been won in game 2.

    Isn't this proof that your friend is wrong?

    Also, Origin always alternates between games in Qld and games in NSW.

    So, if home ground advantage means anything, it'll be 1-1 after 2 games most of the time.
