State of Origin Ampol State of Origin 2024

[sosos]

Glad to see some changes to the Blues, was looking like they'd run out of ideas, so see how they go I guess, but yeah, no confidence lol.

2 pubs.
Plenty of restraints up the road near the station.

A whole 2..exactly why we need a bigger one in the city for these events. Easier for travel too

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I suppose if we lose a playmaker Hunt moves there and grant takes 9.

Maybe it does make sense.

Let’s be real you don’t need a 4th backrower that plays maybe 10 mins.

 

[Aucklander]

Good luck to both teams. I'll happily settle for a good game of footy.

2 is better than 1.

Easier for who? The best access for the entire metro area, especially with the light rail incoming, is Olympic Park.

 

[Colonial]

NSW to hold on from a late QLD comeback by 2.

I was more thibking a genuine utility.

Still wild that NSW doesn’t have anyone for that.

It’s nowhere near enough when it’s near on 80k have you even tried getting into one on a major football event day (good reason people try and get booze into the ground lol). Think of how many are around the city. There isn’t even a direct line to Homebush. Least there’s direct lines everywhere to and from the city.

Sort of have one in Hunt who has even played centre for Australia

The closest station is a 20 minute walk to the ground(SCG/SFS) and if you are including the light rail then it’s not direct.
On major events there are direct runs directly to Olympic Park and if not you have a shuttle train that takes 5 mins and goes every 5 mins during events.
Add the multiple car parks it craps on Moore Park and soon to be light rail from Parra/strathfield.
True it could do with more pubs than 2 but otherwise nothing wrong with the precinct.

How many people in here are lifelong Victorians? I would have thought that the majority of lifelong VIC’s that actually enjoy RL would be QLD fans due to the interstate hatred between VIC & NSW?

Filth loves other filth I guess.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Let's go.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Couple of decisions/non decisions going NSW's way.

 

[peternorth]

It’s nice to see a single jersey sponsor. Real unity across the border.

 

[Aucklander]

Opened them up easily.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Way too easy. Length of the field.

 

[phantom13]

That’s great work from DCE, saw the markers all over the place, went, draw, pass, great take from Hunt.

 

[Plugger35]

Great pass from DCE to set up that QLD try.

 

[Colonial]

Nope don’t like that.

 

[phantom13]

That’s gotta be 10 in the bin at least

 

[Aucklander]

Send off coming?

 

[Paul Kersey]

Dirty campaigner.

 

[Plugger35]

Walsh is out like a light.

That's the end of his night and should be the end of Joseph's night too.

 

[phantom13]

Or out all together tbh
