State of Origin State of Origin: Series XIX [2024] - Expressions of Interest

[ClarkeM]

Geez, I wonder why no one has come up with that idea!

It’s how you find nuggets like croweater 41 and I so I can see why it’s become a no go zone since…

i tried and failed last time

What's wrong with the Allies?

We bathe, every Saturday, whether we need it or not.

I wonder if there is provision for SoO titles on player profiles on SweetFA plus Hate

Obviously the dickheads of the day like Juggs who sold himself for whichever state wanted him don't get credited fairly but perhaps this is something we can do better of "tracking" for the future.

It is an absolute mess … BUT there are much more influential people than me that can’t fix it

It's easier than putting together a 13-team fixture

It's pretty straightforward.

It's pretty straightforward.

Can you tell me how many S36 & S37 Rookies have expressed their interest?

Counterpoint, can you tell me who they are?

I genuinely wouldn't be able to reel off more than about half a dozen names at best.

Greetings ladies & Gentlemen,

The prestigious State of Origin series is returning once again in 2024 for Series XIX, and is set to be run over the course of July at the completion of the Sweet FA season.

Sign ups are now open. If you wish to be part of State of Origin in 2024, please fill out the below EOI form.

A few things to note before signing up:

• This EOI is for newcomers to SoO ONLY, or for returning veterans who did not take part in the previous tournament. You do not need to sign up again if you were in last series as we carry over squads.
• Please be honest when choosing your state, because once you have chosen that, you are stuck with it. State swapping will NOT be allowed. Once you have signed up to a state, that will be your state. NO exceptions - unless it is practical to introduce a new state team that was previously not included.
• If you are already in a squad and wish to opt out, you will need to speak to your captain. Who will then give you an uppercut.

State of Origin Captains will be announced at a later date.

FAQ

I was born in --- but lived most of my life in ---, what state do I choose?

It is state of ORIGIN, not State of Where you live now.

That said, you still have free reign in your initial choice. However once you choose one, you will not be allowed to change. We keep the receipts.

Why can't I change states?
Because it is a representative comp that relies on people being honest. We can't exactly police which state people choose or prove whether you are honestly choosing the correct state or not, but we can enforce no team hopping.

Do I have to sign up if I played before?
If you played in the last series, no. If you did not participate, please by all means register your intent to resume hostilities.

Is this the same as regular missionary Sweet FA?
Yes, you you will have match threads to banter with your opposition. However unlike the Sweet FA, they will only run for 2-3 days before the match is played.

NOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH NSW

Were you looking to sign up with Vic Country mate? I agree we're simply too strong to just be two teams at the moment, but right now we're just the Country as a whole.
