State of Origin Series XIX Round 1: Allies v Vic Metro at the Gabba

[Gralin]

Like I’ve always said you can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose

I mean......

 

[Bovo]

Sorry, my laptop keyboard has failed, so I have another keyboard overlaying it and it occasionally adds a key from pressure from the upper keyboard pressing on the one below. However if you are too ***king stupid to figure it out for yourself, remove the "n" from the word "then".

Whoah that was the kind of excitement this thread needed!

 

[Dingster]

Um…excuse me…what does wearing a full hat mean? Every once in a while I still need to learn some Australian language. As opposed to a half hat? Whatever that is.

I will destroy my opponent no matter what.

JackNah_8 has a deep love of half hats. I full hat will distract her.

 

[kickthething]

Despite our team being reigning champions, i get the impression that people from the traditional qooty states look down their noses on the Allies.

The thinking probably is what would an Irish man, some Yanks and a load of Queenslanders and folk from NSW know about Qooty?

They probably wouldn't know if the ball was stuffed or pumped etc. Well it didn't stop this team last year, and it won't stop us this year either. Go Allies.

We don’t look down our noses, we don’t even understand the concept. either you have a state or you don’t.

 

[PhenomenalV1]

Alright Rugby States, prepare to be eliminated before the first quarter ends.

 

[Bovo]

We don’t look down our noses, we don’t even understand the concept. either you have a state or you don’t.

I have 3 states. Born in Victoria, live in SA, but spend most my time in a drunken state

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

We don’t look down our noses, we don’t even understand the concept. either you have a state or you don’t.

So the Queenslanders and people from NSW, Northern Territory or Tassie don't have a state?

 

[kickthething]

So the Queenslanders and people from NSW, Northern Territory or Tassie don't have a state?

Well, Northern Territory don’t, being they are a Territory. The others should go it alone..Simples.

 

[Bovo]

So the Queenslanders and people from NSW, Northern Territory or Tassie don't have a state?

Does state of disarray count?

 

[grumbleguts]

I have 3 states. Born in Victoria, live in SA, but spend most my time in a drunken state

I went to South Australia once, it was shut.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Does state of disarray count?

I see no reason why it shouldn't!

 

[Bovo]

I went to South Australia once, it was shut.

I’m more interested to know when it opens…

 

[Dingster]

So the Queenslanders and people from NSW, Northern Territory or Tassie don't have a state?

Think more like we're richer and the jealousy comes from the inferior other states. Take the Metro for example, the locals have even vacated their own city.

 

[grumbleguts]

I’m more interested to know when it opens…

Not sure, but at my father in law's funeral, the funeral home offered us three choices, "silent and respectful" "Silent, completely still and respectful" and "Adelaide on Sundays"

 

[myblueroan]

Game day! Allies we kick off our championship campaign with a soft kill. Lets look at some of the match ups.

Backs
I get to blanket OOB teammate and EKA winner myblueroan. I will distract her with travel talk and make her paranoid that there are actual vampires on the ground.

Mrs Turbo will use pinch and tickle moves on PhenomenalV1. Clearly the better wrestler too

damicky will tear Blaze Storm a new one! Cap is pumped to lead the Allies to another victory.

Half Backs
Ed_Gein has impressed in the lead up. Will be too good for top heavy gab213

HARPSichord will take a record intercept marks. We all know Senor M is too lazy if not kicked lace out.

grumbleguts has the big job on beez. He has a world class array of bee jokes set to bring beez downfall.

Mids
moginie has too much class for kickthething who kicks worse than Logan McDonald.

Grav will simply blow Bombers teammate Bovo up. No contest.

Irish BlueBagger has a massive tank and will run Elmer_Judd into the ground.

U2tigers in his favourite role as ruck will be too good for JT_the_Man who is too busy planning his admin campaign.

GWS Goose will be all over okeydoke7 in a resume performance.

crazywildhorse has too much pace for Muddiemoose. Will win every race to the qooty.

Half Forwards
PMBangers will actually go vs cooney

The Filth Wizard will take Gralin out at first bounce.

Strigoi will master the half forward craft and distract JackNah_8 by wearing a full hat.

Forwards
T2B_ easy win vs spudmaster in a tasty performance

ShaunDuggan has been up and about and will kick 10 against a sluggish NaturalDisaster

BRAB what he will do to James Colorado may not be entirely legal

Interchange
MayTheNorthBeWithU may actually come on and tag HARPSichord just for the fun of it.

tony is made for this role. I hear he's ordered a hit on one of the Metro players.

Coach
Today's coach will be Braklet. We're expecting some inspirational speeches!

Tip - Allies by 100 plus

Did you say blankie talk?

 

[James Colorado]

What time are The Allies going down today?

What time are the Allies going down? About the time we give them $1.50 to do so.

 

[James Colorado]

Like I’ve always said you can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose

Well you can, but they may not be your friend for much longer.

 

[James Colorado]

I went to South Australia once, it was shut.

I think your keyboard is causing typos again.

 

[PhenomenalV1]

I think your keyboard is causing typos again.

Hey, he could just be from New Zealand.

 

[Strigoi]

Keep telling yourself that Strigs.

[Strigoi]

Alright Rugby States, prepare to be eliminated before the first quarter ends.

You’re a bit harsh today!

 

[Gralin]

Lovely start
