State of Origin QLD state of origin team application

[Cadsky]

Booooooo, I was born in Queensland. As was MayTheNorthBeWithU.

But I'll cop the Allies if I must.

Get onboard the QLD train mate!

But a new team needs players to establish itself. Clearly those players are going to come from existing clubs.

There are enough players and interest to field a standalone qld club.

I daresay you’re right but I also daresay you’ll be forced back into the Allies as this competition has a Vic/SA/WA bias and we’ve been the minnows for 20 seasons. The new Allies was Qld with smaller areas folded in, the rest of the areas combined doesn’t have the numbers.

Ok that is a fair point if the others can't fill a side.

I thought you may have enough.

I’d be surprised, it’s been a battle for years getting an Allies side up and that’s without losing the Qld contingent.

Happy to crunch the numbers

Can’t do much until the volunteers come in.

 

[JyeDye]

I'll play for QLD, but absolutely not the Allies. Why on earth would I be teaming up with NSW grubs?

It's like stepping on a NSW turd isn't it and then the smell just keeps carrying with you

But if QLD alone have the numbers why wouldn't they be allowed to make their own side? I completely understand if there's not enough.

 

[Hoos]

Tagging retirees, how sad. This is what happens when you don't let Hoos and I start the Malibu Achievers.

Yeah. ****ing Germans. Nothing changes. ****ing Nazis.

It’s just the way it is. There’s been times NSW/ACT could (and did) field their own sides but had to absorb into the Allies which was Qld and stragglers.

As I said earlier, this thing has always been biased towards the Vic/SA/WA “heartland” markets, much like the AFL SOO Allies it was actually a good thing that the other states and territories could merge and take on the machine and has pretty much been traditional for nearly twenty seasons. Unfortunately if one breaks away because they’re in a lucky hot streak of having enough posters than the other regions will likely die off.

 

[Mooch]

Count me in. Although strictly speaking my state of origin is Tonga. (that's where I grew up)

Nothing wrong with being an adopted Queenslander

In.

Pfft. Racist.

It would be great to have a standalone Queensland Team … BUT the rest of the Allies regions wouldn’t be able to field a Team

You know this, when you think about it in the spirit of fairness and justice, sounds like a you problem.

Yes, and your problem is the allies folding. This is not a me problem.

Thats just an assumption. I'm going through the numbers now

 

[Cadsky]

Initial count of current Queensland and Allies players suggests that BOTH SIDES can field a full team!

I will check the remaining teams, but i doubt loosing a player here or there is going to affect anyone else.

Is Donald Trump counting the votes for you?

PM me a full list, we can nut it out. I say me, because the known Allies captain is a Queenslander.
