    Who would have thought holding a state of origin match in a state that isn’t part of the competition might not get the intended uptake.

    • demod on 17/05/2023 - 18:31

      Who would have thought hey? Gotta say the AFL are doing a better job of including the rest of the country. I remember I'd just moved to Sydney from Melbourne and a guy I worked with asked me if I'd watched origin last night. "Nah" I said.. "who was playing". Coming from Vic I thought it was a good question. I got a look that just oozed "you're an idiot"!

          It's the same for NRL matches too. Most games the stadiums are mostly empty.

            @demod: Not from what I have seen. Even the Wests Tigers pull a crowd, especially at Leidchart Oval. Though having said that, all the suburban grounds only hold around 20 000 people; Penrith; Cronulla; Manly; Wests - Leidchart / Campltown; Kogarah.

            @demod: The average NRL attendance for 2023 is: 21,550
            I wouldn’t call that empty.
            Normally the good seats in rectangular stadiums face east. The same direction as the camera.

        • trilby on 18/05/2023 - 12:08

      Pongod needs to be at 1.

      Tino to start at prop and Cotter on bench
      Dunno who Horsbough is but I will have Walsh on the bench too. So 2 utilities on the bench for lolz

        This. Ponga was the difference in game 3, they can't not reward that with loyalty. He's a big game player, he can handle the pressure. Walsh is on the ascendency but he's nowhere near Origin ready in terms of maturity & keeping calm. Plus he doesn't play so well when the chips are down.

        • yamahamoto on 17/05/2023 - 20:22

          Turbo is not fit for origin but I would take a punt on him. Turbo and Latrell playing center is deadly. Last time nsw smacked qld those 2 did all damages.

          • Shane34 on 18/05/2023 - 06:21

            @yamahamoto: Too out of condition. Latrell and Campbell Graham better option this year.

        • Homr on 17/05/2023 - 21:06

          My only concern is Pongod is not a fulltime fullback anymore, knights really screwed him up

    • Shane34 on 17/05/2023 - 19:37

      No way a rookie starts in origin at fullback.

      • Homr on 17/05/2023 - 21:02

    • ricee007 on 17/05/2023 - 19:44

      Eh, during COVID, in 2020, Adelaide got over 25k to the match. Not terrible.

      The following year, game 1 got 27k, game 3 got 26k.

      Like, the Adelaide crowd wasnt an embarrassment.

        You just googling without understanding context helps people point out how pointless your comment really was, 2021 was also during Covid restrictions and game one was in Townsville, capacity 25k (over). Game two had capacity restrictions game three was at the gold coast as it was re routed from NSW with short notice, capacity 27k.

    There has been only ever one Adelaide team for NRL in the 90s for two seasons before it folded. It's been tried and tested that SA didn't even care about their own team, and now they're expected to care about 2 different states versing?

          Same situation here. NSWelshman living here for 14 years, married for the same time. In laws still ask “how’s your Rugby team going?” after years of trying to tell them that Rugby is a different game.

          The fact my kids call me “Dad-ay” and refer to Lego as “Lay-go” just rubs salt into the wounds.

          There was a time you could have the world tiddlywinks championship at Adelaide oval and it would sell out. Obscene prices for tickets and food make people think twice for those events whereby they don’t have skin in the game. Could literally buy a carton of beer and pizza and watch at home for the less with the benefit of getting to bed at a reasonable time on a Wednesday night.

      100% right. How can they justify $199 for a ticket to a State of Origin match, not only at a state that is 95% AFL supported but at an oval and not at a purpose built rectangular stadium? Even the cheap seats are ridiculously priced. I wanted to go, but I can not justify that expense.

      • NoApostrophePlurals on 18/05/2023 - 04:36

            • Poor Ass on 18/05/2023 - 10:12

              @pharkurnell: NRL scrums have always been like that… you just huddle and look stupid with no force. Also I think if someone tries to kick the ball in a scrum it's a penalty too

              It's kind of like the AFL changing that rule that you have to stand and not move after opponent takes a mark

    State of Origin is an outdated concept which needs to be consigned to the dust bin of history. Not to mention the very loose eligibility rules, I guess these days it's just as simple as "which state you indentify with" and that's good enough. You have Qlders and NSWs players eligible for state of Origin yet represent some pacific Island Nation at the same time internationally. That would be like playing for Texas , yet representing Spain WTF. 99% of professional sports (Other Than Association Football) have done away with gimmicky all star , representative concepts. It's the clubs and franchises that captures the hearts of the fans not the meaningless exhibition matches where they don't go hard.

    • Irishness on 18/05/2023 - 15:45

      the reality is that internationally it isn't that popular, the NRL keep trying to broaden the appeal but don't understand that $150 a tkt (sure in NSW / Qld people will pay) is too much in a state where it's not popular.
